I’m taking my nephews to Alton Towers tomorrow A: because it’s cheap and B: Because I love it their it’s the best our country has to offer.

I think that the Alton Towers merchandise range is really good and well marketed in the themed shops, When I was younger I when and got a oblivion key ring and the middle spun how cool. I know that they take photos of you when you’re on the ride but I’m not sure if the Alton Towers do any t shirt printing, I think it would be cool if you could have your ride photos put on a t shirt. My Kids would love an oblivion t shirt with their funny faces on.

Its a while since I’ve been and Alton towers may offer this type of merchandise but if they don’t they should, I mean £9.99 for printed t shirt would be great. I’m sure they could do it for most of their big rides like Air, Hex, Rita.

I’m hoping it should only take me around 1hr ½ to get to Alton Towers. What will be expensive is food, I’m sure that the likes of McDonald’s will add a small premium to all of their meals so getting lunch is likely to cost as much as getting in.

I’m planning on going on wet rides first so we hopefully dry out. I know the kids will only moan at the queue times if there over 20 minutes, I know that the log flume seems to have a short queue but because there’s nothing to look at it seems to take ages to get on to the ride.
