Alton Towers Resort have announced that on selected weekends in March 2024 guests will be able to stay in the park and enjoy the rides and attractions until 8.00pm.
Rides in The Dark
Like the popular annual Scarefest event this will give guests the opportunity to enjoy rides in the dark for example, Wicker Man is a fantastic ride in daylight but is 100% pure thrill on the rare occasions when you can experience it in the dark!
Opening of Nemesis Reborn
This event may also tie in well with the opening of Nemesis Reborn. There has been no official announcement from the park as yet but with testing underway if the ride reopens in March as planned then you could be amongst the first to experience it.
Carnival Type Atmosphere
The Staffordshire theme park takes on a whole different feel when darkness falls, even if you don’t like riding the big roller coaster rides it is worth paying a visit just to take in the carnival atmosphere.
The first set of dates for this new event are Saturday 16th, 23rd and 30th March!
Increasing The Thrills to Another Level
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the fantastic roller coasters in the dark, it really heightens the thrills and the level of excitement.
On occasions when the park stays open after dark you not only get the benefit of having additional time to experience all of the rides and attractions on offer, there is also a fantastic atmosphere, and the park takes on a whole new look.
Stay at Alton Towers Resort
If you can afford to then it is well worth taking the opportunity to stay on site as after a long day in the park it is only a short walk back to your accommodation. It really adds to the experience and you can spend a second day relaxing at the onsite Alton Towers Waterpark before the drive home. Due to the scale of the park, it is well worth planning your visit in advance.
Plan Ahead
Thanks to the internet it is easy to plan ahead. I would recommend viewing the Alton Towers Park Map online. You can also view the Ride Height Restrictions. Alton Towers offers a good mixture of rides and attractions to entertain all of the family. Use the map and other information available on the Alton Towers website to get an idea of which rides and attractions you would like to do. This information will help you to establish which sections of the theme park you need to visit. Bear in mind that the different sections are very spread out with lots of walking between each one. It is worth making use of the Skyride as this can avoid lots of walking on hilly and uneven pathways. Ensure that you wear comfortable shoes suitable for lots of walking.
