I think that it is all unbranded shops and restaurants at Alton Towers. They have got rid of brands from the park now anyway, so the pass should entitle you to a discount on everything from shops and restaurants.

With the annual pass you get - Early Ride Time; Free Parking; 20% off stays at the hotels; 20% off the waterpark; 20% off food, drink and merchandise. I think there are a couple more as well but I can't remember off the top of my head what they are.

Free parking is for the Premium passes only, however you can also get discount at Moto service stations. Dan has covered most of them though!

Moto service station discounts are only with a Merlin pass, not with an Alton Towers only one. Free car parking applies to Alton Towers pass and Merlin Premium pass (not standard Merlin).

With the Alton Towers Pass you get free parking but it is does not mention any other discounts http://www.altontowers.com/alton-towers-annual-pass/

With a Merlin pass you get 20% off shops, food and drink as well as other perks http://www.altontowers.com/merlin-annual-pass/

I know that the AT Annual Pass gets you all these discounts as I have one.

I have never had a problem getting 20% off food and drink etc with it, and I got 20% off my hotel stay for Nemesis@20 with it.

In a nutshell you get the same perks as a premium MAP, but just at Alton Towers.

I thought AT Annual Passholders would get the 20% as well but it's just not clear from the website.

The Moto services discount for Merlin passes doesn't always work even with a Merlin pass so that is the main perk I wouldn't expect to work on an AT pass.
