There's truth in that, I suppose passholders would want to make the most of the money they've spent. And to be fair, it's been so quiet I can't see why anybody wouldn't visit if they could do so for free. I'm looking at renewing when (and if) the January sales come so I can get my 2016 annual pass all set and ready.

The weather (I think) will make a big difference as to whether it will be open or not. The first day of half-term is the Annual Pass preview day if I'm not mistaken? Or is that following up to the main season itself.

I think it's a difficult one to predict as to whether they'll advertise the opening or not. I currently have a website (www.changedetection.com) that will email me of any change Towers uploads to their site regarding The Smiler just in case, but who knows if there'll be any official news as to the date of its reopening.

Aha! We plan on visiting Chessington just as soon as we can. The ol' annual passes have expired regretfully. We'll need to renew them! You reckon? I might have to look into that..

Hey there guys, Myself and a few of the team members from The Chessington Archives are planning a visit to Alton Towers at the beginning of the 2016 season in the hope of being some of the first (If not the first) people to be on The Smiler after it reopens in the new year! The proposed date is on the Saturday the 19th March 2016 (We'll be staying in the hotel the night before). Is anybody else planning on attending this year? If so would people be interested in having a little rendezvous the night before and joining us in the park the following day? Let us know! Ben The Chessington Archives
