Alton towers help

[sfotfreak]

Hey guys i am going to alton towers in june with school and i was wondering what type of fast pass is the best because there seems to be different options. Also is there any rides not worth doing? we only have a limited time. Any info would be great so thanks in advance.

Hi, here is a list of the Alton Towers Fastrack tickets available:

 

Fastrack Thrill

One Fastrack entry on Air, Nemesis, Oblivion and The Flume!

 

Fastrack Thrill + Rita

One Fastrack entry on Air, Nemesis, Oblivion, The Flume and Rita!

 

Fastrack Adventurer

One Fastrack entry on Charlie & The Chocolate Factory: The Ride, Corkscrew & The Runaway Mine Train.

 

Fastrack Ultimate

One Fastrack ride on: Air, Nemesis, Rita, Ripsaw, Duel, Rapids, Hex, Spinball, Runaway Mine Train, Oblivion, Corkscrew, The Flume, Enterprise, Submission, Squirrel Nutty, Charlie, Battle Galleons, Heave Ho & Marauders Mayhem.

 

As far as essential rides go, you should aim to get on the following:

 

Nemesis

Oblivion

Spinball Whizzer

Air

RITA

Hex

 

That is a fairly selective list, but if you have limited time make sure you get on those. As far as Fastrack goes, if you get the "Thrill + RITA" option, 4 of the 6 I listed are there which means you'll have a lot of time to do the water rides and mutiny bay etc.

 

I don't know how much the fastrack tickets cost, but if Thorpe Park is anything to go by, it won't be cheap! If you only have limitied time though, it's definately worth it:)

 

Hope that helps

You'll figure it out.
