Alton Towers

Alton Towers opened as a theme park in 1980 and has continued to be one of the most visited parks in the UK. They operate ten roller coasters, seven of them being their "big" coasters, as well as many flat rides! I love Alton Towers due to their intense, indepth theming and spectacular drive to always do better. Click a Big 7 coaster below to learn more!
