Has anyone ever been given any freebies from Alton Towers? Perhaps biscuits at the exit, free fast passes for ride breakdowns etc. Post yours below.

I've had 4 free fastracks for The Smiler from Alton Towers Twitter for my fiance's birthday. And also 4 free waterpark tickets to use between Nov 2014 and Feb 2015 from reviewing the Towers on TripAdvisor.

I do remember years ago being evac'd from Charlie and getting a RMT fastrack.

Think I've only ever received free fast track during Scarefest staying at the ATH to make up for lack of ERT. I also remember there being an absolute tonne of free chocolate one year at Easter when they had the chocolate volcano which pleased my sweet tooth greatly

I received a free box of cereal and free cans of Fanta.

Had free cereal when the smiler opened. Had some kellogs squares and also had Fanta.

Not had any free fastracks unless you count the ones the hotel give you during scarefest as no ERT.

I remember last year they where handing out free Krave by The Smiler:

So lunch was delicious!

I got a free fastrack when Nemmy broke for 5 minutes and I was stuck. Staff didn't expect a 12 year old to go asking for compensation because they were stuck! :lol

10 free packs of krave in one day! Shoved them in the backpack and went back every hour :lol

Got a fastrack for Air after getting stuck on the lift for 10mins, and had Fanta.

I Got A Free Cap Off Someone On Air XD

3 cans of fanta in one day, and 5 more later on in the year

A load or party rings (i mean a load) 3 years ago when leaving the park.

Allof the
above

Ive been very lucky with freebies. This year was free gold fast tracks for my group for both days i was in the park. Free room upgrade to the smiler room and free waterpark tickets for both days. As i said thats just this year previous years i have allways gotten freebies and extras

Box of Krave last year, fanta and small can of Coke another year. Happy days

Just out of interest out of the freebies you have been given have any of them make you think i really want to go and buy that now?

None have for me

None at Alton Towers, but I got a small can of Dr Pepper at Thorpe Park.

Well, I always wanted to get a box a Krave to see what they were like and when i got them at Alton, i didnt really like them so it actually turned me off buying them!

I also got a few boxes of krave last year, and I think I remember getting a squares bar last year too?

Yup, I seem to remember getting a Rocky Road Squares bar back in July last year. Don't think I liked it much.

I got 20 fasttracks for the Smiler being broke during one visit last year. I also got a few boxes of Krave for the smiler launch too and 2 free entry tickets for some comp I entered on twitter! Nothing so far this year though.
