    hubby looked on his roller coaster forum (boys eh!! ::) )
    there's also ribenaberrybash, tractor ride (one for the younger kids i assume), squirrel nutty ride (again for younger kids but great fun lol!). i can't remember what else, i think there were less than ten rides in the list. still looks like a good day out though. my 8 year old desperately wants to stay in the hotel and waterpark but we only live a 45 minute drive from alton towers, plus it's more expensive than disneyland paris hotels lol! they charge £10 each for waterpark access alone so if the waterpark and the 4 hours in the park itself are included in this £75 charge then it's a fantastic deal :-)

    i hadn't heard of this deal, i'll definitely be going and loads of friends are interested, plus some people off the coaster forum so thanks a lot for posting about it, you're a star :-)

    the webpage is saying the park is closed, with only 'selected rides' available until march 05 - still a good price for the hotel tho
