Thanks to The Sun Superdays, from Saturday 4th July, you have the chance to get yourself TWO FREE* tickets to Alton Towers Resort!

Hygiene measures and social distancing on rides will be in place. For full safety measures click here.

To celebrate this amazing offer, we have a VIP family trip to Alton Towers Resort, plus £1000 to give away to one lucky winner.

This year, the UK’s favourite Theme Park also celebrates 40 years of jaw-dropping excellence providing fantastic family fun, world-class thrills and events for the nation to enjoy!

Embark on an exciting voyage with Captain Black and his intrepid crew through a tunnel underneath one million litres of water in Sharkbait Reef by SEALIFE, take courage and lead your crew into the gunpowder barrels on Marauder’s Mayhem and grab onto your super-soaker water-blasters and prepare to drench and be drenched as you come under fire from enemy vessels and lily-livered landlubbers alike onboard Battle Galleons.

Once ashore, go deep underground, through the tunnels and around the turns of Katanga Canyon, the old mine train twists and shifts, getting faster and faster after an explosion caused it to break loose. Will it slow down? Can it stop? Nobody knows – so get ready for a knuckle-clenching escapade that’s ideal for all ages. Sit two-by-two in the long, winding train carriage as you whizz round and round the track – Choo choo!

Defy gravity and trust in science as you prepare for a truly mind-bending experience on Enterprise, brave the Blade and its stomach-floating, zero-gravity near-vertical experience, as well as lock and load your laser guns and prepare to battle ghosts and ghouls on Duel – The Haunted House Strikes Back, plus so much more!

How would you like to win a VIP family trip to Alton Towers Resort with an overnight stay and £1000 spending money?

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this amazing prize is answer the question below correctly, and you could be on your way to Alton Towers Resort!

Please note this is a shared Prize across 4 Bauer Media brands.

Which of the below is not a ride at Alton Towers Resort?

    Does this happen after you have filled in the form? Double check each box to make sure that you have filled them in correctly, i.e. only numbers in the telephone number box. Also it is best to click in each box before entering the required text rather than pressing the Tab key as it does not tab in the correct order, some will tab from first name, to email address, then phone number, then last name, when you expect it to go from first name, last name, email, phone number.
