I'm never going to Alton Towers in the school holidays again! Unbelievably busy. Love the rides though.
PS - I would also like to put forward a 'lol' for the cheap day out thing.
No 'theme parks are ****' choice
Why? 2 for 1 tickets are abound and other than fuel to get there (shared) it will cost you all of around £15 for a day if you take your own lunch. Cheap IMO.
If however you pay full price and get fast passes for everything, drive from the other end of the country and buy loads of photos and take no food/drink with you then it will be extortionate, but then that's you're fault.
As for food at the parks, When we went last time I wear you could get a Pizza Hut all you can eat thing with a drink for a tenner each but I could be wrong. That's not bad.
Yeah they still have that. However you can't go all out as you still have rides to go on after and you don't want the contents of your meal all over the person sitting in front
Miserable *old* git
Sitting in a queue surrounded by stupid little children is not my idea of a fun day out, regardless of how cheap it is.
Again, having to carry around a rucksack all day. No thanks.
Have you never found that sandwiches get warm when you're at a theme park?
Either do it properly and have chips, burger, huge ice cream, candy floss, etc. or don't do it at all! Even with those bonuses theme parks suck.
