Our Visit to Alton Towers

We were finally able to spare the time for a day out ourselves this week, at our favorite Theme Park, Alton Towers! Luckily the weather was kind and we set out from The Malthouse for a few hours of fun! We're always glad to visit the park to see what's going on and what's new. We always find time to sample the food, this year it was fish & chips followed by doughnuts - yummy!

Here we are at the start of the day - can't go past the frogs without stopping because they make us smile!










Almost halloween, the Alton Towers Scarefest starts next weekend - can't wait it looks as though it's going to be REALLY scary this year!
Scarefest runs from 15-31 October 2011.














There are renovations taking place to the conservatory. As you can see it looks as though it's going to be fabulous when work is completed. Something to look forward to for next year.















We'd just been into the haunted house 'Duel' when we came across this squirel at the side of the path. He was chattering away and looking towards the ground as though something was worrying him. We stood looking at him for sometime but couldn't see what was bothering him. Had he lost his nuts?!

Here is one of the most entertaining rides to watch. Sonic Spinball looks and sounds so much fun. You can stand really close to the ride and get almost as much of a buzz watching and listening as you do actually riding on it!

Anyway, eventually we had to come home. We had a great day, always so much to do and not always enough hours to fit everything in!
