  • I always wondered what Alton Towers was like during the week, outside of school holidays. So i decided to head to the park on a Monday to see if it is really worth going? Checking out the queue times, visitor numbers and ride availability compared to a busy weekend day at Alton Towers.
    Will i manage to get on The Wickerman, The Smiler, Oblivion? Or will the reduced hours see me not achieve much in this huge theme park.
    Alton Towers is one of the best theme parks in the UK, so check out my theme park vlog to see how i spent the day. I also managed to see fellow youtubers/social media people around the park, check out their profiles below:

    1. Wicker man, 2. Nemesis 3. Smiler 4. Thirteen not bothered about Rita or Galactica. Thirteen might beat Smiler for me I can't decide its great at the back its just a bit short.

    Great vid! Agree with your assessment of Wickerman and Smiler. Glad you had a great day.
    We recently rerode Curse and they have already made a few significant changes since opening week. If you come up again, do give it a try. Much more going on inside.

    The smiler has its seasons. I rode it 4 times last season, and it was very good. Perfectly smooth. Sean Evans and a few others have said it's riding like a bucket of spanners. Nemesis is my favourite ride with smiler as a close second

    Interesting Vlog, something different. Keep it up.
    On your concerns of darkness and feeling sick, you could be right. I wouldn't be concerned about Guardian's however, it's not even that dark in certain scenes and the spin is controlled. I would be very surprised if you felt ill from that, the backwards launch is nice too.

    The best time of all, is the middle of the week inbetween Scarefest and Fireworks. One, its the week, so no one wants to go. Two, people are already going/gone to events so there is no point them going again.

    Mondays and Fridays are always a bit busier than you expect. In part because people extend their weekends and take their kids out of school 😂
