CORRECTION: several locals have notified me that you can in fact walk from the parking lot to the park entrance! I personally was not aware of this, but is nice to know that if you do not want to ride the monorail, you can walk!

[analsex]

You can’t even walk to the entrance

Regulars: I’m gonna stop you right there

It's reviews like these, and from other people who have never experienced Towers before, that reminds me of how special the place really is. Us, the people living within the UK, forget that it is a stupidly unique theme park. It isn't perfect, as you said, but it does get a lot right!

"It's located in the middle of nowhere"

Stoke on Trent and Derby: Am I a joke to you?

The way you said CBeebies land had me dead😂😂😂

Alton towers is truly a one of a kind place. You will never get the feeling that you get at Alton towers in any other park

“Can’t build any of their rides above the tree line” huh... that’s where RCT2 got that challenge from, lol

It's nice to hear Americans say positive things about our theme parks. But I still think you guys are spoilt for choice when it comes to theme parks :)

Another great video mate! I agree, it's a gorgeous park but what let's it down massively is the opening hours! We would visit way more often if stayed open later.

I have waiting thousands of years for this review, thank you

I'm from Singapore, more than 15, 000km away, and I've already been to Alton Towers 6 times in 4 years. It's absolutely my favourite theme park and I totally agree with your comments about it. It's not perfect, but I go for the feeling, and you really do feel like you're in a different world when you're in there. Thanks for the review.

The tree line restriction I think is what makes Alton Towers so great: it really forced them to be creative with their rollercoasters, resulting in quite unique rides like Nemesis.

Your cinematic footage of Alton Towers is the best cinematic video you have ever made...

[SwitchbackSylveon]

On off peak days (weekdays normally) they close at 4, on on peak days (weekends and UK school holidays), they close at 6.

Alton Towers is the best park ive been to in Europe. It has a couple of negatives which one is the treeline issue and 2 id say the size. It does tire you but these are so minuscule by the positives. Its the most beautifully landscaped park ive ever been to and it has a feeling to it i cant describe. Its magical and thanks so much for the review. Was a very accurate and honest review. I find coasterstudios reviews pretty much spot on. Keep up the good work Tyler

Hi, great review. I just wanted to add that park close time is not the time the park closes but the time the queues close. So if you are in the queue for a ride at 4.00 then you will get on that ride. Also during summer the park is open until 5 (or 6 at the weekend).

[miks]

I have alot of fond memories of this place I used to go twice a year when I was younger and its the most beautiful park I've ever seen, the gardens and walks are just stunning

[ScrewyLoops]

Another brilliant review! Love watching these, especially when it's for my home park. Made me find a new appreciation for Towers seeing it from someone elses point of view ☺👍 Great stuff!
