The Alton Towers Hotel is currently hosting an exhibition of the Resort's Long Term Plan, and we've been on park this afternoon to check out the details.

 

The exhibition wasn't intended to be a comprehensive detailed look at everything planned over the coming years - it would be impossible to do so - but rather it represents the vision and general direction in which Alton Towers plans to head between now and 2019.

 

Many of our predictions were broadly correct, with provision for 10 large to medium sized rides to be added during the term of the plan and three potential coaster sites highlighted on the map. New hotels and entertainment facilities are planned and the possibility of a new park entrance near Forbidden Valley.

 

The plan also includes details of how Alton Towers is looking after the heritage of the site and their aims for sustainability and ecological benefits. The traffic strategy is another element detailed in the exhibition.

 

Certainly sounds good at the moment, there is a lot of crazy ideas listed in the plan, will be interesting to watch what happens on this.

The next 10 years will certainly be interesting!
