Jake C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 is the fast track system here the same as Thorpe park and is it worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Fastrack at Alton is MUCH better value than Thorpe. The prices are lower and you get given an allocated time slot, and they sell a limited amount so it doesn't become a mess like Thorpe.Fastrack Thrills - £8 - Nemesis, Air, Oblivion and The Flume.Fastrack Adventurer - £4 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Runaway Mine Train and Corkscrew.Fastrack Rita - £4 - This is an add-on fastrack ticket which will add Rita Queen of Speed to your fastrack ticket.Fastrack One Shot - £3 - Allows one ride on Nemesis, Oblivion or The Flume.Fastrack Ultimate - £30 - Unlimited rides on Battle Galleons, Heave Ho, Marauders Mayhem, Rita, Air, Nemesis, Ripsaw, Oblivion, Enterprise, Submission, Corkscrew, Hex, The Flume, Duel, Congo River Rapids, Spinball Whizzer, Runaway Mine Train and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.

Jake C Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 in extreme or wat ever its called they should change the flume to rita and the same with thorpe but have stealth in stead of loggers and get rid of x no way out and put there new ride in it saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 That could happen next year with the recent introduction of Hydrate fastrack or whatever that ones called. Personally I've always thought it's ridiculous having an extra fastrack package just for Stealth and Rita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Fast track Ultimate at Alton Towers is just one Fast track per ride included. One day admission to Alton Towers theme park plus one Fastrack ride on: Air, Nemesis, Rita, Ripsaw, Duel, Rapids, Hex, Spinball, Runaway Mine Train, Oblivion, Corkscrew, The Flume, Enterprise, Submission, Charlie, Battle Galleons, Heave Ho & Marauders Mayhem.

Fred Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Also towers barely ever ever have fastrack in operation. Think I've seen it in operation once this year, and that day was extremely busy.. and barely anyone had it! It is probably the best system I've seen ever.

Mark9 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think the thing with Alton's fastrack is that their rides can handle the system. Nemesis, Air, Oblivion and The Flume, The lowest one there is Nemesis and even that's 1200 which is an impressive number. Then look at Thorpe. They've got it on rides like Samurai and Vortex which are terrible at eating through people.Alton also have reliable rides (with the exception of Rita ) which means you are less likely to get everyone from Oblivion trying to go on Air for example. Alton have the system far better with much less tickets given out meaning there is less impact on the queue itself.Things like the Ultimate at Thorpe really do get on my nerves. For instance tpKabz for example. Riding Stealth 35 times. I mean was it really that different from the first or second time you rode it that day. I can understand the normal fastrack's parks sell but the ultimate really is one I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 when I used ultiate at thorpe I was realy anoyed because it was fright ninght and it was sunday so I thought it would be packed but the biggest queue was 50 mins for stealth and it was on one train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 stealth and it was on one trainIt wasn't on just one train for that long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I bought fastrack at Alton once, on airs openeing year, whenever that was, the queue was verging 4 hours or something stupid like that, and we bought the fastrack for nemesis and air, both single. But yeah, Alton obviously do enforce a much better fasstrack system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 And at Alton you don't get on as many times as you want.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just a quick question, and I know this might sound a little stupid.Where do you buy the Fast Track tickets at Alton and how do you use them. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Buy them at the entrance or the erm.. information kiosks (there's one by the X sector toilets). The rides which operate fastrack have seperate queues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 What rides do you get on the Ultimate Fastrack and how much is it?many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Useful page about Alton Towers Fastrack here.IMO Alton never really have days when Ultimate would be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobzz7 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 At Thorpe they should make a "daredevil" one which lets you get on once on Stealth, Saw, Colossus, Nemises Inferno, Tidal, Rush, Samurai, Vortex and Slammer For £20 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 At Thorpe they should make a "daredevil" one which lets you get on once on Stealth, Saw, Colossus, Nemises Inferno, Tidal, Rush, Samurai, Vortex and Slammer For £20 each.It's a good concept, and I think it would be a good seller. Fastrack is generally too expensive anyway. Even if the Ultimate was £20, I still wouldn't buy it. (Unless I had an Annual Pass). Thorpe Park should take a page out of Alton's Book, and do a fastrack that allows you to ride all of the Fastrack attractions once. I think a lot more people would buy that ticket, than an unlimited one but costing £30 or so more. That's an idea for Thorpe, New Ultimate Fastrack - £20. Allows you on all of the Fastrack rides once. If I had an annual pass, I would buy that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Thorpe Park should take a page out of Alton's Book, and do a fastrack that allows you to ride all of the Fastrack attractions onceFor £30? No thanks, I would rarther pay £20 extra and do them unlimited times, mind you I would only ever consider getting that at FN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
