4. Choose your day carefully

There are plenty of off peak days at Alton Towers where the queues are significantly shorter!  Quieter days take account of the weather, school holidays, days of the week & even school trip season.  For more information go to Best Days to Go to Alton Towers.

5. Get There Early

The car park, monorail & ticket booths open significantly earlier than the theme park.  If you have parked up & purchased  tickets before the park opens, you are ready to go the moment the gates open to the general public!

6. Make Use of the Electronic Boards

The electronic boards around the park give accurate queues times of many of the main rides and worth keeping an eye on.  They will also let you know of any ride closures.

7. Make your way to the back of the park & work anti-clockwise!

Many people start the rides from the front of the park and work clockwise around the theme park.  To avoid the queues, it’s worth heading directly to Forbidden Valley or the Dark Forest and work towards the front of the park.

8. It’s the queue that shuts not the ride!

Not many people realise it’s the queue that shuts at the advertised closing time not the ride.  If you stay to the end, this gives you another chance at the main rides with generally shorter queue times.

Let us know if you have any more tips 7 we’ll pass them on.
