Queue times were all less than an hour. Staff were cheerful and helpful. The park was clean and litter free. Drink/food prices were quite reasonable. Although I think the food could be slightly cheaper as it is takeaway food.

Queues to get on rides was very good, and had multiple re-rides which was also a great experience. Did not experience any ride down time either, and staff was very friendly.

I've not been in over 10 years, but fell in love with the rides again. At my age, acting like a big kid again. Brought back so many happy times bring my kids so many times when they live at home and at uni

Attended for the scare mazes but got there early around 3pm so we tried a few rides, we went on 13 first however unfortunately they had some technical problems and we had to wait ruffly 20 minutes at the gate for the problem to be resolved but everyone at the front of the line got a free fast track to another ride! The scare mazes were amazing! However we only went in the paid ones. Food was rather expensive but great quality. We also went on the nemesis sub terra which was mediocre but different then went on the the nemesis which was terrific! Made it even better that we had the fast track! Then finished up with the wicker man which is great for both young and old but you get thrown about in your seat slightly not great for saying it's the newest ride but we loved it anyway, great in the dark!! We left the park at 9.30pm so overall 6hrs of great fun!

Fab day out! We loved the last of the scare activities! Managed to get on everything we wanted to. Thirteen closed for a long time and we had fast track so that was the only thing we were disappointed about but these things happen and we still managed to get on it.

Nice excitement creating rides with good food options. Only car parking and their tracking can be a bit improved. The rides for kids less than 1.4 meters height can be further improved and made exciting as like other Amusement parks here in the UK.

Went for scarefest and the park was set up amazingly. The queue times were averaging at about 40 minutes which was really good. The skyride was open all day which helped us get round the park easily without too much walking. All the staff were really friendly and it was all organised brilliantly. We stayed at in the Woodland Lodges in the Enchanted Village. All the reception staff were really welcoming and helpful. Booked in to eat at the Crooked Spoon and as I’m a coeliac and need food prepared separately they catered for this. I filled in a form, they made me scan a QR link to the allergy filtered menu before sitting down to check what I could eat. Whilst ordering at the bar they made sure they noted it down before sending it onto the kitchen and it came with little GF flags. So absolutely brilliant and the food was really nice. Had the pulled pork loaded fries and a GF sticky toffee pudding with GF custard. At breakfast they did the same thing with the QR code and they asked if I wanted a GF roll. The kitchen did separate bacon for me on request as well which was really nice. All the staff were absolutely brilliant. Coming again in April 2026. They never disappoint and always a pleasure staying.

Mazes were brilliant but ride access passes was not mentioned on the Merlin pass website nor on the Alton towers website, I was in line for the ride access pass time card and I got told that they needed to be pre booked nothing was mentioned on the website a few years ago nor on the Merlin website I recommend checking before you go and there is no more buses from Nottingham and Darby the bus is from Stoke on Trent or Uttoxeter or an uber, but the is at gone 9am and the last one back is at half five. The staff was helpful as well recommend Scarefest but I recommend looking into everything first

The overall experience was very good. Alton Towers used to do Adult goes free with Kid vouchers, which made this much more affordable. Now we pay 4 full price tickets, a lot more expensive. The rides are so worth it! Great theming, excellent service from the friendly staff. We had a whole day there from 10am until 9pm. We queued.... a lot. But it is to be expected on all the big rides. I have 2 pieces of constructive feedback. 1. Seating in the queue systems would be nice every now and again, even if it was flip down seating like they have at stadiums. This would help when stood waiting over 2 hours for one ride. 2. Wickerman... great ride and well worth the wait, especially in the dark. But when you queue for over 2 hours, to get to the bit where you can hand your bag in and then go into a preride show to give you the story... it gets very unruley, no way to keep your place in the queue and litterally everyone pushing infront of you. Very difficult to stay together with your family. I would suggest a more structured approach into the preride show, maybe have spots on the floor, 1-50 and have each person stand on the next spot in sequence. Theu could also introduce railings inside the preshow room to stop people just diving infront of those that were infront. The new scarefest walkthrough (dark hollow) which was free...was epic! Great actors with some fab dress up costumes! Love this!
