Thrillseekers can get Alton Towers three-month pass for less than price of day ticket
Alton Towers has unveiled a new summer pass that gives three months' access to the theme park.
Thrillseekers can ready themselves for a summer of excitement at a reduced cost with the new Alton Towers Resort Seasonal Pass. The incredible offer means punters can enjoy three months of fun days out at the theme park for less than the cost of a day pass.
The £59 three-month seasonal pass is cheaper than the walk-up price of £68 for a single-day ticket. So even if you only visit once during the season, you're still saving money.
The pass offers unlimited access throughout the summer, making it an ideal choice for those planning days out during the summer holidays. For adrenaline junkies, this could be the perfect opportunity to ride the Smiler and Oblivion all summer long.
It's important to note that there are certain dates when the seasonal pass cannot be used, such as the August Bank Holiday weekend and several October dates leading up to Halloween. None of the passes, including the £139 Annual Gold Pass, are valid on these dates, reports the Mirror.
One of the most sought-after passes on the market is the Merlin Annual Pass, which provides entry to their theme parks from £99.
This includes Thorpe Park and Alton Towers, as well as Legoland, the Dungeons, Madame Tussauds and even Cadbury World. The basic package costs £99 per year, although more premium packages also offer monthly payment plans.
For those who only want one theme park break, Wowcher's Attraction Breaks might be a better fit. They offer a Gulliver's Valley Resort Stay and Theme Park Entry package from £139, with availability during school holidays for families of four seeking a fun getaway
Over on Trustpilot, Alton Towers has been hailed as "magical", with one visitor commenting: "A great family day out. Service from the staff is always so friendly. A magical place."
Another guest was thrilled with the queue times for the attractions, writing: "Magnificent time at Alton Towers. All the rides were below an hour queue.
"Went as a group of 5 and we completed Smiler and Oblivion in the first 20 minutes. We then went on another 11 rides whilst doing Smiler, Oblivion, Rita, Thirteen and Nemesis twice. Our longest wait time was 50 minutes."
They further added: "Arriving early is key as they let people in before 10 to start queuing for The Smiler early.
"Had a wonderful time and was worth every penny. Amazing theme park. Workers were very nice and were always happy to help."
However, not every review was glowing, with one visitor revealing, unlike the person above, they did have some long waits. They suggested that seating should be provided in such circumstances.
They said: "As expected, when you go to a theme park there are very long queues. What you don't expect is no seating on a two-hour queue. Waiting is not a problem, standing for two hours for one ride with no chance to sit down and rest your legs and back, really is!"
Mums and dads have expressed satisfaction with how the park caters to varied age groups, with one parent remarking: "Amazing couple of days with my family.
"So much for all ages to do, and the entertainment on the field was a welcome rest for my three-year-old when the older members of our party wanted to go on the thrill rides."

British man arrested at Disneyland Paris after trying to marry girl, 9, in private wedding
A private event had been organised to take place in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at the theme park, but Disney cast members were alerted by the sight of a child. A British man has been arrested at Disneyland Paris after an apparent attempt to wed a nine-year-old girl in a private ceremony. Disney staff alerted authorities after spotting the 22-year-old man with a young girl, who was wearing four-inch heels taped to her feet and accompanied by her Ukrainian mother, at a private event held at 5am on Saturday, before the park opened to the public. The wedding was scheduled to occur at dawn in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, reports the Mirror. The French venue had been rented for a wedding, but the organisers did not disclose their plans to Disney. According to reports from BFM TV in France, Disneyland Paris was misled about the event's nature. The organiser allegedly impersonated a Latvian national and used fraudulent documents to secure the contract for the park's privatisation. Reports suggest guests were recruited online through advertisements seeking 200 adults and 100 children aged between five and 15 to act as attendees at a 'rehearsal' for a Disneyland wedding. BFM obtained video footage showing approximately 100 seated guests awaiting the ceremony while a female violin trio performed at dawn on a stage adorned with flowers. The event reportedly cost around £110,000. "Four people were arrested and questioned: the groom, who was believed to be the organiser of the event and is presumed to be British, aged 22; the mother of the child, a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman; and two Latvian nationals aged 55 and 24", according to a statement from the prosecutor's office in the nearby town of Meaux, France. The 55-year-old Latvian man alleges he was hired to impersonate the bride's father for 12,000 euros, only to discover at the last minute she was nine years old, as per local news reports. Disneyland Paris informed French newspaper Le Parisien its team promptly shut down the event and prevented guests from entering the venue. The nature of the wedding remains uncertain, whether it was a publicity stunt or an actual ceremony. A medical examination revealed that the young girl had not been subjected to any violence, stated the prosecutor's office. A police source indicated the groom claims to be the head of a production company and they were filming a video. An updated statement from the prosecutor's office clarified: "So it wasn't a wedding, but a staged wedding filmed with around a hundred extras. They privatised Disneyland Paris, pretending it was a real wedding." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Two suspects have been charged with 'fraud and breach of trust' against Disneyland Paris. One guest at the wedding told Le Parisien: "We all thought we were going to attend a wedding... Everyone was stunned, no one expected it. Disneyland did things very well. "They canceled everything as soon as they realised the bride was a child. We were shocked to see that." Another guest, Yeleen, who attended the ceremony with her daughter, recounted: "I saw a little girl dressed in white. I saw her hair prepared with curls and a lady picking her up in her arms. "At that moment, I was shocked. I realised when I saw the child. It was atrocious."

David Beckham's fear about Brooklyn left him losing sleep and 'paranoid'
As their feud rumbles on, David Beckham once revealed that fears about his estranged son Brooklyn were so overwhelming that he became totally "paranoid" and was unable to sleep The ongoing feud between David and Victoria Beckham and their eldest son Brooklyn shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, were no-shows at David's lavish and star-studded 50th birthday party a few weeks ago, and the couple have remained silent since the news that the former England player has finally been awarded his long-sought-after knighthood. With insiders close to the Beckham camp branding Nicola - the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz - "spoiled", friends of the actress struck back this weekend against the "one-sided and false claims". Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, pals said, "Nicola doesn't deny she's had a fortunate life, and she's grateful for it. But she's also been working for over 20 years, and now writes, directs, and produces her own projects. Her parents are proud to support their children, and the idea that this reflects poorly on them simply doesn't hold up. "Calling her spoiled is false. For her wedding, she requested donations to support Ukraine instead of gifts, and she runs Yogi's House, a rescue that saves dogs from euthanasia in shelters. These one-sided and false attacks have gotten out of hand." There have been conflicting reports about where the feud originally began, with some reports claiming the tension began to arise around the 2022 wedding of Nicola and Brooklyn. Brooklyn and Nicola have recently purchased a new home in LA, something that sources have said was a "dagger in the heart" of Victoria and David. However, in the 2023 Netflix documentary - Beckham - the former footballer made a heartbreaking admission about his eldest son long before the space between them widened, and it showed just how deep his love for Brooklyn runs. David was discussing the time after Brooklyn had just been born in 1999, which coincided with a seriously tumultuous moment in his professional life. At the World Cup in 1998, when England was playing Argentina, David famously received a red card for kicking Diego Simeone - and across the country, people blamed him for the team's loss in the high-stakes match. The incident left him "clinically depressed" he admitted, and actually occurred right after Victoria had revealed to him that she was pregnant with their first child. When Brooklyn was born some months later, David was still struggling, and the amount of hatred he received from the public left him terrified for his newborn son and "paranoid" something would happen to baby Brooklyn. "What I went through was so extreme. The whole country hated me. Hated me. It changed my life. I felt very vulnerable and alone. Wherever I went I got abuse every single day," David explained. "People look at you in a certain way, spit at you, abuse you, come up to your face and say some of the things that they said. That was difficult." The night Brooklyn was born, he couldn't sleep, or even be close to his wife and newborn, because he was so fearful someone would come to hurt the baby out of retribution to him. "That night, Brooklyn slept next to Victoria, Victoria was like, come and squeeze on the bed with me, and I said, absolutely not. "I'm sleeping with my head against the door because I was paranoid someone was going to steal him. It's meant to be a happy moment, and it was of course, but I was worried. I didn't want him to come into this life at a time where I was going through what I was going through."
