Patty Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have a trip coming up in April with about 14 of my friends and we are planning to do a 2 day park trip...we were thinking of going to Alton Towers for the first day and maybe get a two day ticket where it is cheaper for the 2nd day...or maybe go for one day at Alton Towers and the next day at Drayton Manor so if anybody can help make my mind up...please help me because i dont wanna pay about the same price for one day at Alton Towers and pay it again the next day at Drayton Manor...would it be worth it? If you can help...Thanks! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 If you can do Alton Towers in a day, do Drayton Manor on the second day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 ^^Coasterwise, DM only has 3 (4 if you count powered) coasters. But they do have a couple of other cool rides, such as their "Pirate" ride and the really good Intamin drop ride. However, AT is a huge park with lots of coasters (8+1 powered, which is pretty good) and lots of walking, even with the cable cars. But, they also have Hex, the gardens, and if you stay there, the incredible hotel. I would suggest staying with AT for both days to fully enjoy everything at the park. You can never get enough Nemesis! JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis-storm Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 If I had to choose between Drayton Manor or Alton Towers, it would be the 'Towers' everytime... If you want a change of scenery etc, then do a day at each park. Apocalypse & Maelstrom are really great rides at Drayton, however Alton Towers beats them with the quality & choice of coasters they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 thanks! that is kinda giving me of giving me a better idea of what i should do...because i have been to both parks before but i want to get my moneys worth. I agree there is alot of walking to do in Alton Towers but i guess it is kinda worth it. I also have to agree...You can never get enough of Nemesis!

WW Goliath Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 If you want to ride a large variety of different coasters then have a day at each park. However if you want to ride the best then head just for the Towers and Nemesis. As has been said before, you can never have too much of Nemesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Riddler Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Well, what do you like more? Only coasters ore do you wanne see the more beautifull ride's like madhouse, dark-ride's,....? If you're only going for the coasters you can do both, one day Alton, one day Drayton. Both parks are nice but Alton Towers is ofcourse the best then. Shockwave, Apocalyps, G-Force in Drayton Manor a al lot of fun (G-force i don't now, been there in 2004) but the stand-up free-fall & coaster are a lot of fun and you don't have stand-ups in Europe. Alton Towers has the best madhouse that i've been one, Hex is wonderfull! Also Duel, the interactive dark-ride is nice. Then you have a lot of coasters there, Oblivion, Nemesis, Air, Rita, Corkscrew, Spinball... They are verry nice and good, one of the best i've been on. Have a nice 2 days at the park(s) !
