Going to Alton Towers this firday taking the gf as a birthday present(may sound selfish but she loves rollercoasters). I was wondering if anyone had any good tips any paticular rides? Or any tips to miss cues?

It will, but not by much. The rollercoasters will go faster if that's any consolation.

Prepare to queue a lot for the fasttrak tickets!

You queue to get them, then queue about an hour before going on the ride, they're not that much better!

That's terrible.

Last time I went on Halloween it rained at about 2PM and the park had to shut because it rained so hard.

Everyone went home.

It reopened about 3:00 when the rain and floods had gone and it was deserted. It was raining lightly for the rest of the day but it was really warm.

Me and my mate were the ONLY people on Nemesis, they had two trains on the go, but were only using one and sending the other round empty.

We were both going at the front and had the whole thing to ourselves, how cool is that?!?

We wern't allowed to stay on however, we had to run round each time because of health and safety and crap...

Needless to say we got bored in the end and went home absolutely soaked with 30 mins left before it closed, Forbidden Vally had about 30 people in it in total!

That was the best trip ever, you'll never get anything as good as that, EVERYTHING walk on with no queues at all...

It depends what time of the year you go or what time of day you que. We got on Oblivion about 7 times in a row queing about 2 mins max for each ride on a Halloween Night. There were short ques everywhere.

OK, the best theme park in the UK, the worlds first vertical drop rollercoaster, the worlds first and greatest inverted rollercoaster, the worlds first new generation flying coaster, a spinning coaster and over 35 other highly themed rides. What more could you want?
