pluk Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Fright Nights finishes on 31st October and the season ends on 2nd November, does it? Nope! Saturday 5th November is 'services day' with the park open 10AM to 10PM with full ride and Fright Night maze line up, free parking, limited tickets so minimal queues and no fastrack, and tickets only £18.50! This is for emergency service (including NHS staff) and armed forces personnel only run through 'blue light card' and 'defence discount service', but they can take their families so if you know anyone in these professions it may be worth being friendly to them around about now! cptnmingo and Olistjj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptnmingo Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Do you know if ALL rides are open for this? Alton Towers ran one before and didn't open a couple of the big onesSent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 All Towers had shut were The Smiler (it hadn't reopened after the incident at that point) and Air/Galactica (was still in transition and yet to open from its referb), along with the closed for 2016 selection that haven't opened since. I think Spinball had some issues on the day too. Everything is supposed to be open, but things can go down of course. Who knows if we'll see the return of DBGT by then?! cptnmingo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 ...so, ask your Mum! It's in the first post - it's run by 'blue light card' which she'll be eligible to join if she's care giving NHS staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeksy Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I went to the Alton Towers one in March (or so) this year ... it was hugely disappointing. Very understaffed, majority of the food stalls closed. Although that could have been the "reopening" issues. Love to go but sadly my ambulance driving friend is working!

Graw Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 do you HAVE to go with someone who works in the emergency services? or can the person in the services just buy the tickets for you and you go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the specific date due to social media rules in my contract, as you can appreciate I do not want to get the sack!
