What was it like when TH13TEEN opened?

I'm certain it does, Alton Towers have confirmed that you may pick up passes in Feb half-term, so I would assume you would be able to use them also.

And now the black track of oblivion, I've heard of enterprise re themed but not submission could this mean the removal of submissionthillmad wrote: Is it true enterprise is being re themed to match the new coaster for the 2013 season? If so does anyone know how it will look? And will this be true for submission too?

No ideas what Enterprise will look like as yet, but I believe from what I've read here is that Submission is getting some much needed TLC too. They're putting a lot of effort into X-Sector as it's going to be a guest-magnet come March, so I'd guess the last thing they'd want is a knackered, half-working ride in the middle of all the new hotness.thillmad wrote:And now the black track of oblivion, I've heard of enterprise re themed but not submission could this mean the removal of submissionthillmad wrote: Is it true enterprise is being re themed to match the new coaster for the 2013 season?

March, your hoping.

Hi , just wondering would the premium merlin annual pass give you any benefits other than free entry and early - ride time, regarding fast passes at the park this year, because I have always been a bit unsure on the benefits it gives you?

It is totally unrestricted to any restrictions the parks have. It also allows free parking at towers.coliver wrote: Hi , just wondering would the premium merlin annual pass give you any benefits other than free entry and early - ride time, regarding fast passes at the park this year, because I have always been a bit unsure on the benefits it gives you?

Not in detail. I looked at the last update, saw a lot of track had been put up then left - decided I didn't want to see any more until I go in a couple of months . Obviously, I say March, that's when the park opens, so I imagine they'll have the rest of X-Sector sorted by then, even if SW7 isn't 100% finished.The Terminator wrote:March, your hoping.

I haven't come across any complete walkthroughs I'm afraid... (even if I could it would be poor quality)Phild94 wrote: Has there been a walkthrough spoiler video of The Sanctuary done anywhere? I really wanted to go on but ran out of time :/
But there is this attraction overview on youtube:
It features various queueline/exterior/pre-show shots and gives a good idea of the atmosphere the maze created, along with it's location in the towers.
I'll keep an eye out for something better for you. (and sorry if you've seen it before... which is quite likely)

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me where/ how to get to the Towers Suite?
And also is it easier to get to Alton Towers from Stoke on Trent or Uttoxeter?
Thanks.

Stoke on Trent is further away from Alton Towers than Uttoxeter but I think the park's quite easy to get to from either location. Also it depends on how you travel as well - I've taken the 32A bus from Stoke which is easy from Hanley bus station and goes to the park entrance.
Here's the link on the AT website about getting to the park:

I think the Towers Suite is not far from Towers Street and on the path that goes past Sonic Spinball.

Towers Suite is right at the bottom of Towers Street on your left, It's next to the Towers Family Restaurant and is a door kind of hidden around the corner, It's this one
