Alton Towers tomorrow!!

Lizloz

But instead of paying £68 for the tickets, they were free!! Well....I had to buy a number of copies of the Sun, but they were free all the same!

Trouble is....I think it's meant to chuck it down tomorrow and I think I've got a cold coming on

How many copies of The Sun?

I am incredibly envious. I hope it doesn't rain for you tomorrow.

Oblivion is fantastic.

Reporting from next door to alton towers i can confirm that so far it isn't raining, well not very much anyway. I thought it must be one of those free Sun days as traffic was queing to get in yesterday.

I hope you have a good day Lizloz.

The walkers crisp vouchers are good . If you have friends who want to go , and if they can go the next day ,tickets can be bought for £9 while you are there and passed to them .

If you live near the park you get a free pass that gives you 20 admissions to the park FOC, they used to give you 20 ticket vouchers, I always sold mine on ebay for a tenner each, but i can't do the same with the new voucher unfortunately.

Hi all

Well, I have to say, what a fantastic day I've had!!

Yes it rained, but only when we got there and then a ma-hooosive rain storm, along with thunder and lightening to boot, but it was a great day, although a tad expensive.

Although I didn't pay for the tickets as they were free, I spent £30.56 filling up our LPG tank, £10 on b/fast at McDonalds as I had nowt in the house, £4 to park the car (can't believe you have to pay to park now!!), £6 on a hot dog and drink for future niece (who is 10), £4.99 on Burger King for me, £3.50 on a straw of flavoured sugar, £10 on two key rings, £19.99 on a DVD of us on the rides...it was well worth it though!! Future niece was an absolute dream and was so brave going on all the big rides!!!

Yes , I took a 12 year old daughter last week . Saw those wrist band things , no where do you see it will cost you £19 . I think that a bit of a con . Best thing is take own food and drink , could end up spending £ 50 before you know it!
