Tips To Beat Queues And Expenses At Alton Towers

A day out at one of the UK’s premium attraction like Alton Towers can be very expensive, especially, if you are going out with your family. This makes it very important to ensure you are receiving as much value for money as possible. Here are a few tips to help you reduce queuing time, food hacks and even free Alton Tower Tickets.

Queue hacks

Theme park visitors are habituated of certain habits. Expect big queues for seats or food between 12 o’clock to 1.30 PM. Get in there before 12 o’clock or after 2PM if you want seats to park your tired posterior on. On the contrary, lunch time is the great time to ride as most of the visitors will be busy having their lunch. Teenagers or adults should avoid visiting the park when kids’ schools are open. Normally, during busy hours on a pleasant summer day, the rides are extended by an hour or so. You should keep an eye on the official website or the social media pages for updates.

Tips to get free tickets

There are online contests as well as social media contests from where you can earn free entry tickets to the amusement park. Alton Tower tickets are expensive and when you have to bear the expense of four or five family members, even a single free ticket is a deal to die for, right? So, enter those contests online which just asks your personal details and informs you online when you win the lucky draw. The contests are usually free and anybody can enter. However, be cautious and read the terms and policy in the website.

Food and drink hacks

Get free refills of tap water in all the restaurants and soft drinks ‘hydration stations’ at Alton Towers. Head to the stations whenever you need to quench your thirst. Do not miss out on the roller coaster restaurant! Right from food arriving by rollercoaster to walls and tables with display screen, everything is homage to the coaster. If you are a geek and want to know more about this amusement park, this restaurant is your best bet. The wonderful gardens are ideal for picnics and are pleasurable to walk around. Cbeebies Land is a great place to have picnic with kids.

Tips to save big

Book Alton Tower tickets in advance or when you come across discount deals on websites, crisp packers or shampoo bottles. Don’t use large lockers because they will cost you more. Try to keep as much items in your bag so you can manage even with a Small Locker for just £5 a day.
