@COASTERADDICTWH @altontowers Good luck. I sent an email via Guest Services and was told it was that it was part of the Terms and Conditions that rides were subject to availability, and that they were given daily MOTs to make sure they were safe. Doesn't explain why so many rides are closed at Towers though

I have emailed Howard ebison (Vice president of Alton towers) regarding ride availability, and staggered openings. I will share the response to these questions as I believe it is imperative that the guests know what is going on at @altontowers

🔧 While it’s nicely done, Guests have to look at the new Ratatouille “artist workshop” scene in the queue through these odd windows that replace the 3D glasses distribution point:

There just isn't enough to do for anyone under 1.4m until May, so no point coming unless you have little ones for CBeebies Land that are able to wait 30mins to 1 hour for a ride, or thrill seekers who want to wait over an hour for a ride. It's not a family park anymore!

Everything for those 1.4m and under, especially with the frequent rkde closures dud to temporary delays. Spinball has closed twice within the last hour, and instead if letting those who waited in between on the ride, they priorise fastrack who arrived after it went back online...

It's been 15 years since my last visit to @altontowers and I think it'll be another 15 years. Took 2 hours to do first 2 rides, despite arriving at 8.30 due to rides opening later than advertised. The lack of Katanga Canyon has been clear because it's bumped up the waits of...

@ThemeParkWW We're at the front of the queue for the Plaza and got there at 8.30 as we didn't know about the late gate opening (only was announced the day before). Can't imagine the amount of people who thought the same

As the entrance turnstiles at Alton Towers now don’t open until 9:30am, queues are backing up on the plaza and all the way back along the coach park. Previously the turnstiles would open at 9am, allowing guests to get into the park earlier and stop the queues backing up!

Anybody @altontowers #altontowers with guests under 1.4m, especially under 1.2m, shouldn't bother going to the left side of the park as everything under 1.4m height requirement is closed! Stop at Wickerman, and turn around. You're just wasting your legs walking without Sky Ride

@TowersStreet @altontowers Closing off the whole of Katanga Canyon is a big thing for @altontowers family market. The only major attractions for families of kids 8+ without a spooky theme are Spinball and Gangsta Granny. Everything is either a flat ride, CBeebies or thrill rides/dark spooky themed!

The @altontowers App has today been updated ahead of the park opening this weekend. It seems that the Monorail, Skyride and Runaway Mine Train will be closed for essential maintenance. Elsewhere the Congo River Rapids and Battle Galleons will now be opening in May.

@COASTERADDICTWH @altontowers And Battle Galleons not opening until May too 😑. I'm not one for coasters but going with my family who are, but was hoping for a few more rides to be open that aren't rollercoasters. He one rollercoaster I can do, Runaway Mine Train, will be closed 🙁

Alton Towers reopens this weekend for two buy out days, however a number of rides are still missing from the @altontowers App: - Bugbie-Go-Round - Runaway Mine Train - Battle Galleons - Congo River Rapids - The Skyride Could we see these open next week for when the park opens?

@COASTERADDICTWH @altontowers @ThemeParkWW It looks like similar for monorail too. Katanga Canyon is also one of the few areas with stuff to do for families without scary themes. In terms of coaster thrill scale, you now have a massive jump from Octonauts to Spinball Wizard/Wicker Man

Both the icons for the iconic skyride, RMT and the Congo river rapids are absent from the @altontowers park app, it is starting to concern me that these will not be ready for the start of the 2026 season! Similar to last year. They’ve not got long to clarify this! @ThemeParkWW

@OffhandDisney Kali River Rapids, it's just not long enough and less opportunities to get wet compared to Popeye's at Islands of Adventure down the road

What is, to you, the WORST ride at The Disney Parks? I will defend it this week.

NEW: Conservation Station will close at the end of the day on Feb. 22. When it reopens this summer, guests will be able to play and dance with Bluey and Bingo inside. Other longtime Conservation Station favorites, including the Veterinary Treatment Room, will also return.
