New Ride at Alton Towers

April 1st 2006 sees the opening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory™ : The Ride. An amazing adventure that’ll take you for the first time into the heart of the splendiferous Factory itself and on a ride inside the wondrous Great Glass Elevator.

Cool, never been to Alton Towers but once a year our whole family goes to Drayton Manor. I love the maelstrom. <3

The new ride at alton towers sucks 2 hour wait to go on a ride designed for 3 year olds , very dissapointing

I was there on the opening day [1st April], didnt even go up in the same direction of it, Bet the queues would be really long xD

my mate said that his mum was at the start of the line so he got strait to the front but he said it wasnt worth it.

i wouldn't of minded going on it, but i wanted all the big ones first, and by the end there wasnt any time

Queue lengths on the 1st April where 5 hours, had a bit of an shouting match in guest services and ended up walking out with 2 priority passes for Charlie :)
