About this Attraction

Alton Towers opened as a theme park on 4th April 1980.

Inspired by Disneyland, the modern park was designed to be home to multiple, other-worldly spaces, grounded in English Heritage.

The theme park opening at Alton Towers includes the Corkscrew – Britain’s first double loop rollercoaster – plus the Pirate Ship, Cine 2000 and the Wildlife Museum.

1 Day Entrance Fee

Alton Towers is the largest theme park in the UK, spanning 550 acres of land in central Staffordshire.
To help guests explore the entire resort, they have installed fun, fast ways to get around.
The Skyride enables visitors to travel between Towers Street, Forbidden Valley and Fountain Square in a colourful cable car gondola.
Whilst the Alton Towers Monorail shuttles guests from their car or hotel to the theme park gates from 9am every day.
