You can top up now at Cash Machines I think... Might depend on what machine etc though.

Apparantly, you just choose your network, then the amount, then type your number in and voyla.

But I've never used it, and Alton Towers' might not do it.

There's always shops in Alton Village, debit cards and hey, even Towers Trading might do 'em.

I think breakfast is around £8-£10 for non-residents. No idea about annual pass discount

Thanks for your help leejay. When you say the photopass is available from customer services, do you mean the photo collection point yeah?

Yes, the photo collection point of Towers Trading, Just go there on your way in. Wave at someone in the back and ask 'em for a photopass. :)

Mid-March like most years I would've thought...

I don't think Alton have set an exact date as of yet but it'll probably be March 17th....

The official season starts mid March, but does anyone know if the park is definately going to open in February half term? On another topic, someone said this had been confirmed and that the list of rides available had already been released. Is this true? If so, any links to where it's been said?

Can you stay at the Hotel for that and not pay to get in park by using your annual pass?

ie: Just have B&B. As technically, the season hasnt started so thus the season pass isnt valid on park :?

I'm wondering if anybody knows of an offer available at Cariba Creek where if you enter at a specific time at the end of the day, later in the afternoon, you pay less to get it.

Last year, around this time of year, I went to Cariba Creek after Adrenaline Week for a few hours and we payed a fiver as opposed to the full price considering the lateness of our visit.. wondering as to whether I can do this again this year.

Annual Passes will be valid for February

There isn't an actual season pass, is there? :-? I swear I saw a 'season pass' advertised on the park the weekend just gone? Well, the annual passes are 'annual' rather than 'seasonal', so last 12 months. :)
