Such a fabulous place. So many memories made here. It was a hot clear day today 8/7/26 lots of people in the park. If it's in you're budget fast pass access is a good idea to skip the some times 1hr queues. Smiler is a fabulous ride and well worth the wait. I would highly recommend using the mono rail too/from the carparks.

Literally so fun, smiler, amazing, wicker man, long queues but fun. The fast tracks are worth it but sadly the bronze isnt for me. Would recommend becoming a silver or platinum merlin pass member, but only if you visit theme parks owned by merlin a lot. Oblivion is iconic, nemesis reborn is amazing. But out of all the rides, smiler tops. Went there for my birthday and walked out with £100 of smiler stuff. I have a highly unhealthy obsession. If you want to be careful on what day you go on, my advice is search up alton towers crowd calendar. Gives good estimations and is nearly always accurate. I am going there for scarefest hopefully. Alton towers is amazing and the backstories behind the rides are so carefully planned and thought out as well. Every ride has a theme in that matches the area its in. Galactica is a bit meh tho. I wished they based that off of the nemesis monster and where it came from and had it maybe red.

DEFFO BUY TICKETS ONLINE BRILLIANT PARK THO Love this place I’m gona go back next week went last week was fantastic. Crazy themes around the park every where is brilliant. Need to win a giant bear next time. All the rides were on apart from sky rail which I believe is back. Tickets are so good for how much I paid for them parking is £13 there is a monorail to and from the car park to the park, there is accessible parking it’s about a 10 min walk to the park from the car park (5 if your a fast walker) food is pretty expensive £4.50 for chips. There is pleanty of food options though. Little ducks around the park so cute. Nemisis is my fav I wouldn’t go on nemesis sub terror tho if you have a fear of lifts. If so, bring spare pants. I loved the walk though sea life center though. There is sea horses. And a sting ray. Gift shop isn’t bad priced £6 for a cool 3d magnet. Can’t wait to go back :)

This theme park can have some absolutely cracking days when ops are good. Got on 14 rides in a day (10-4 hours) beating our previous record of 13 which we only managed to do during scarefest hours. Every ride stayed up pretty much all day, staff were all great, and we didn't queue for longer than 25 minutes for anything. Plan your trip well and you'll have an amazing day.

By far the best theme park in England. (For adults to experience the thrills as well as the children). Make sure your in your walking shoes though as you will be getting your steps in here. Fun and activities fir all the family. If you want tp fit in a good amount of rides, i do advise you to take the oppurtunity to buy fast passes, even if its only for your top 3 rides, it's worth the money. I did try the normal que for our first roller coaster and it was a near 2 hour wait, so for our next couple we tried out the fastpass que and were on the ride within 20mins each time. Food is on the pricey side, but what you expect for theme parks, but what we did eat was delicious. Plenty of toilets situated around and places to sit and eat or just take in the views. Great day out for people of all ages. Some of the car parks are quite a distance from the entrace, but there are shuttle buses running periodically. Remember to pay for your parking as you will be issued a barcode to exit the carpark with. Overall 9/10 definately worth a day out here!
