December 15, 201113 yr comment_128686 I've won two free tickets on the Alton Towers facebook competition.
January 16, 201213 yr comment_130235 Looks like this year I will be going to Alton on the 31st October through to the 2nd November to therefore take advantage of both scarefest and fireworks! That causes a dilema because I always do something big for halloween, yet maybe I should just let the fans wanting more? Go off an enjoy fireworks instead!!!
February 11, 201213 yr comment_131723 The ERT line up for 2012 has been released. The list consists of:Sharkbait Reef by SEA LIFEOblivionHexHeave HoMarauders MayhemNemesisRunaway Mine TrainRitaAs far as I am aware this is the excact same line up as last year. I do wish they'd add the skyride though as getting from Rita to Nemesis is really annoying.
February 11, 201213 yr comment_131724 Yeah thats exactly the same. Must've found a balance they like to keep then.Skyride they won't open early - it's costly to run, and also ERT is done so that people are spread out over the park by official opening, making people management so much easier.
February 12, 201213 yr comment_131789 Do we have any idea what make the 'Ice Age 4D' will be?Considering all previous 4D attractions have been standard glasses with a projected screen, I was wondering whether the attraction will have higher technology and actually have 3D more in the way of the Current 3D TV's do?I understand the expense of this however it creates a far better expereince and would therefore indicate a progression into the current world of technology!
February 12, 201213 yr comment_131796 Do we have any idea what make the 'Ice Age 4D' will be?My guess is Ice Age.... in 4D!!
February 12, 201213 yr comment_131801 Many sources from the park have said Ice Age 4D will be a full immersion experience where snow and cold winds aswell as the 3D effects on the screen New Chairs & other features are going to be included
February 13, 201213 yr comment_131838 Does anyone know any discount codes for the Alton Towers Resort?Looking to stay over is there anything that enables a discount to be made apart form the 20% MAP?
February 14, 201213 yr comment_132006 Stayed in Splash on monday night. My god, the hotels have improved considerably over the past few years. They're now absolutely astounding to be in - I'm incredibly impressed with all the recent investments, and both hotels now have a real up-to-date solid feel about them - like your money has been well spent.Would recommend anyone wanting to stay at hotels to definitely do it this year. They're utterly fantastic.(Only problem is, now rest of the hotels are so amazing, my nitpicking has turned to how the freebies soaps etc should be individually hotel themed, not towers themed ).
February 27, 201213 yr comment_132839 I've been looking through some of the ride reviews on the AT website, wow, they are worded so wrong and some of the spelling mistakes are terrible!As I work in customer services and have to do comments for my company's website, we have to check all spelling mistakes and make sure it's worded well!You would expect AT to have had a look at it and correct the spelling mistakes!I've also emailed them and let them know! Wonder what they'll say... Probably nothing!
February 27, 201213 yr comment_132844 I was in conversation with Semantic over the same stuff about thorpe website years ago, and they stated they keep it the same because it's got a sense of realism about it. People who post cannot spell or cannot use grammar properly, and are usually overexcited and they like to just keep it like that.
February 27, 201213 yr comment_132851 It just looks so tacky though!Half the time it's hard to read or written by a young child or a chav that doesn't know how to spell!

February 27, 201213 yr comment_132870 Yeah it looks awful. But I kind of understand where they're coming from. Instead of usual bland testimonials of "This ride was fun, and I recommend 100%" or whatever.
February 27, 201213 yr comment_132872 Yeah it looks awful. But I kind of understand where they're coming from. Instead of usual bland testimonials of "This ride was fun, and I recommend 100%" or whatever.As a primary school teacher, I can appreciate that it would likely wind me up more than most.
February 28, 201213 yr comment_132897 It wound me up as I have to correct spellings and word stuff right before they go on a website, I'm sure AT use the same sort of system, It's not hard to do!!
February 28, 201213 yr comment_132907 When I first read these comments I thought you were on about the "official" content for the site, not comments made by the general public! Although I'd imagine the odd typo does occur. Spelling mistakes made by guests' reviews though makes it seem more personal and genuine, I can see why semantec have allowed it.
February 28, 201213 yr comment_132912 Personal I see no problem, as Sheepie said it sounds like your going on about the site itself but its just reviews, its peoples opinions and they get excited and just write any old rubbish down, what was you expecting, an essay?
February 28, 201213 yr comment_132917 Suppose so!I just thought they would have checked before adding it
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133117 Wish I was young enough to go in for this.....https://www.facebook.com/TheBigBang4U/app_216783818383935But I'm not. So if you are, go for it!!
March 2, 201213 yr comment_133118 I've entered! Amazing, good to see Alton are now letting people experience behind the scenes
March 7, 201213 yr comment_133362 Anyone pick up the sun today and see the new Alton Towers map?Looks ok, but Sub Terra looks like a tin shed on there! Also in bottom corner by enterprise it's got *Under Construction*It also seems that the Nemesis entrance has moved... I highly doubt it but that what it looks like on the map!
