  Just back from a 2 day trip! Longest queue times were 20 mins, most rides were 5 mins (walk on). Rides run smoothly, staff all friendly and helpful. Hotel was great, food and services fantastic. Only down side to the trip was having to walk everywhere with no skyline operating but luckily didn’t have the kids so wasn’t an issue! Couple of the rides down for maintenance but overall rides operated. See you in August :)

  Our last visit was in 2023 when Nemesis was closed for refurbishment. We had a great time then but we were really disappointed with our recent visit. Our group consisted of 3 adults and 2 children, aged 5 and under. We had travelled nearly 4 hours to be there, staying overnight in Stoke and were really excited for the day ahead. Tickets were pre-booked, £39 each, and we also opted for Express parking at £30. Staff at the gate were very helpful getting us through easily with a buggy. We also found them very helpful with getting a parent share pass. What was disappointing, was not all the rides were open at the start of the day. This led to long queues of 70+ mins as everyone seemed to be queuing for the same one. Once another opened the masses headed to that, creating another long wait. It wasn't restricted to the thrill rides, there were also long wait times in CBeebies Land. No monorail, Skyride, Rapids or Bluey. The adults managed three thrill rides each, only being able to use the parent share once, the children also three. There are options to purchase fast track before hand but paying an additional £55 to £125 per ticket is beyond our budget. The last time we went we opted to buy a single ride fast track for £10 per person, this is now a whopping £20 per person. Again this is beyond our budget. Queue jumping was a problem on Rita. A very large party pushed through before we knew what had happened. Others then tried to push past, but jumped over the fences. Some made their way back down the line only to push back with other group members. QR codes are available to report antisocial behaviour, but it took too long to be effective! I understand that running costs and overheads are high, but it seems like the haves get it all over the ordinary family. So disappointed that this was the little one s first visit.

• First time at Alton Towers and will definitely return

  We just came home.e yesterday after an overnight at Alton Towers. We arrived and directed to the carpark close to the theme park with my disability. My daughter inlaw and granddaughter had a great time at the park I loved sitting and watching them on the rides and just watching the world go by . The facilities were great in the park it did get a bit busy but didn't wait anymore than an hour on rides the Atmosphere was amazing and weather was excellent so that was a bonus .

  

• Great day, ignore the negative Facebook prolific posters.

  After reading a few negative comments primarily on Facebook, I was a bit concerned however having booked a 2 days for 1 I gathered if the kids don't get on much at least we have another day to try soon. I was wrong, we managed 7 rides which was way more than expected. Got to the park for 10:30 and left at 17:00, got on wickerman (biggest que 40 mins), Rita (broke down as we got to the front, engineers were there in minutes and fixed it within 15, well done to them), nemesis reborn, new Bluey ride, thirteen, galetica, spinball wizzer and a couple of more the kids went on and sat in the park for an hour having lunch. All of this and we paid £32 each and get another days entry very soon included. There's a couple rides closed the runaway train and rapids (due to open in may) There's still more than enough to do there. It was a good day thanks. Trouble is these days people are quick enough to complain on Facebook etc.. just plan your day/rides accordingly and you will have a fantastic time.

  I’ve not been to Alton Towers for about 10 years. But my youngest is 5 and I thought he’d like CBeebies land. I did read some reviews on here and got worried! Anyhow… Arrived 11am & straight to CBeebies. Bluey had broken down so we went to Justin’s house (15 min queue) - he loved it. My husband went to queue for Bluey and we went on In the night garden (25min queue). Then on the Bluey. It was about 45-50 min in total for Bluey. Then we headed to Andy’s Dinosaur (wouldn’t recommend - one of the younger guys wasnt the best places for the role) - my 5 year old said it was boring. We went on the park & the Go Jetters - this was my son’s fave here. 20 min queue. The staff were fab too. Went on the tree top (10 min queue). We had a look at the sensory garden, Jojos house etc too. Then we made our way to the driving school - 25 - 30 min wait. This was my son’s absolute fave of the whole park. Shame the wait was long. Had the staff been more efficient the queue would have gone down much faster. Went on Gangster Gran (15-20 min) - this was ok. Got straight on the carousel afterwards. We walked to Nemesis Reborn - said there was a 20 min queue but I walked straight on. The best. Then to the Galantica - 15 min queue (it had said 35). Next we walked to Heave Ho - straight on. By this time it was 4.30pm so we went to CBeebies. Got straight on Go Jetters again and then the Tree top. So the queues were bearable! The worst thing was the amount of rides (for families) that were closed - the Battle Galleons, River Rapids, & Runaway mine - we wanted them all but closed all day. So many of the staff were lovely - most. Esp the go jetters, bluey, heave ho & carousel. Also - when did they close the monorail down? The .6 mile walk to the park isn’t ideal for little legs after a day in the park! We went on second week of Easter holidays - (the week many kids went back). I think it’s such a shame that the queues are made worse by fast tracks!
