Guys, i briefly mentioned this in the northampton meet, i was wondering if anyone was interested in a generiously sized meet up at alton towers in July.

i have collected quiet a lot of club card points through savage prices on petrol.

so i can get some tickets free with the points. if anyone else has club points worth a try.

I think it would be great if everyone could make it.

im putting feelers out at the moment, wether or not people want to stay in a travel lodge over night the day before so we can get a full day in the theme park is good idea or not.

But yeah suggestion is out there anyone fancy it?

which dates are good for you?

For a mass trip to Alton towers, ideally I would recommend October as it's not as busy. I've been alot of times to Alton towers and hot days are the worst experience there. If it is sunny and you are trapped in the 1hour+ long ques you won't enjoy it.

I'm with Jon on this one, later would be better because july is full of dirty little school children with with vommit everywhere and screaming at the top of their voices, but yeah, the meet sounds like a good idea =]

I would also recommend later on in the year. You spend ages queuing for rides and do not get your money's worth. I do have loads of 2 for 1 vouchers which we can use meaning that tickets would only be £20 each. They last until the end of the year. I went in the last week of May on a week day and it was fairly busy then although we did stay all day.

I went last October and I went on nemesis over and over Cus there was no que

fair play i thought july maybe due to the weather and that but yeah okay so October time that's good as it's my birthday on the 6th!

so people definitely interested in doing this?

im up for it... depending on date of course lol

Count me in, but will be dependent on date!

make it a friday early october then have a night out after and do something on the saturday
