    Alton Towers for me. Due to the fact that I’ve grown up with it probably but I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing to the eye with all the gardens and towers, but I’m sure Thorpe park is great too and hopefully I will be able to go someday! ❤️🎢

  • @SteveDavies80
    @SteveDavies80 Před rokem +2

    Alton towers feels more like a 'theme' park with better theming throughout the park. Although swarm has the best theming of any single UK ride.
    Towers also has more, and better Rollercoasters, but Thorpe Park has a great selection of flat rides.
    Its difficult, but Alton Towers just feels a bit more special, especially if you stay in resort and enjoy water park, spa, golf and resaurants.
    Cant wait to find out what SW9 is. Hoping for a ride similar to Cosmic Rewind.

    I went to alton towers once and to thorpe park twice. Loved alton towers while thorpe park didnt blow my mind. It bothers me that thorpe park doesn’t have a theme - the area looks just like a piece of concrete with a bunch of rides, it’s small. Alton felt a lot nicer to walk around. Also the fact thorpe is close to london there’s lots of people always and mostly really annoying kids who wanna jump the queue, which i didn’t see in alton towers.

  • @will7033
    @will7033 Před rokem

    If you had asked be before this season I would have said Towers but lately it’s been really lacking. It has minimal permanent flat rides, it’s using funfair rides and some of the rides quality just isn’t there, for example the smiler is deteriorating rapidly as it is looking quite worn out and it’s beginning to get quite rough. So for me it’s gotta be Thorpe. Thorpe has a great mix of Flat rides and coasters and they are all well kept.

    Alton towers is better but thrope Park has always been alil closer so we mostly went there. Having said that thrope Park is a very close second and almost just as good. It really comes down to alton towers being more magical and over all better themes. If your a thrill seeker though thrope Park has some intense rides though, just try both. I would advise going alton towers on a week day or a Sunday as its pretty big and you might even need a 2nd day, but it's possible to do all the good ones in a day.
