Fastrack Solos offer you 1 fastrack entry to a selected ride and are only available on the day from the park. A Fastrack Solos can give you a head start on a popular ride that allows you to concentrate on the other main thrill attractions & slot in a fastrack ride during busy times at the park. Be aware that Fastrack Solo tickets at Alton Towers sell out fast so best to make your purchase at the beginning of the day if this is for you. For a budget quick fix, why not opt for a Fastrack Solo for a couple of the more popular rides such Nemesis Reborn & Smiler with prices starting from £12pp.

5. Alton Towers; Nemesis Reborn

Nemesis reborn has been a big draw to the park this season & often has some of the longest queues at the park.  We’ve put together some tips & tricks to help you avoid the bulk of the queues for this popular ride that helps you get more from your day out at the park.  Follow our Guide To Nemesis Reborn – How To Beat The Queues At The Park! 

6. Alton Towers; Single Rider

We are seeing a resurgence of Single Rides at Alton Towers this year that offers you faster access to the rides.  Single Rider Queues are now available on The Smiler, Spinball Whizzer, Galactia, Oblivion & Thirteen where you are effectively using up available space on the rides.  This options often allows you swifter access to the rides but does mean that you are not experiencing the rides with friends or family.  This year, Parent Q Share Passholders are also being directed to this single rider access, rather than previously the fastrack entrance, so this may increase numbers using this option.  The Single Rider queue is clearly marked so simply ensure you enter the correct queue as you arrive and you’ll be ushered onto any available space within a carriage.

7. Alton Towers; The Early Bird

Not many people realise that the car park, monorail & park itself opens significantly earlier than the stipulated ride times.  On our recent visit, the monorail was running an hour before the rides opened for the day which meant we were actually in the park 40 minutes before the rides opened for the day! Don’t wait for the Sky Ride to open if you’re aiming for Nemesis Reborn within Forbidden Valley.  It’s around a 10 minute walk simply by taking the clearly marked path from the edge of Battle Galleons via Gloomy Wood .

8. Alton Towers; Queue Before The Ride Opens

Join the start of the queue that forms outside your selected main thrill ride. As the gates open at the stipulated ride opening time, you’ll be able to navigate the walk through to the ride to access entry.  This will be undoubtably be the shortest queue time you’ll find during the theme park day as queues tend to build throughout the day.  As with any theme park, the first 60/90 minutes of the day gives you the quietest time at the park.

9. Alton Towers; Non-Queue Attractions

As the park gets busy, intersperse rides with large non-queue attractions that allows children to run off steam & adults can take a well earned break.  Look out for the Sharkbait Reef SEA LIFE Centre, get active at the Training Camp Adventure Playground or take in a show within CBeebies Land.  Remember there are also other children’s rides away from CBeebies Land within Cloud Cuckoo Land that can be less busy too.

10. Alton Towers; Parent Q Share Pass

Take advantage of this FREE method to reduce queue times at Alton Towers with a Parent Q Share Pass.  This option allow parents/carers with young children the chance to ride the thrill rides without having to queue twice by making use of priority entrance although there are significant changes to how this works this year,.  More information is available at Alton Towers – Parent Queue Share Pass

11. Alton Towers After Dark

Look out for Alton Towers After Dark events that offers you extended hours at the park on select dates during the theme park season.  With the theme park open until late, this is an opportunity to enjoy more time at the park to undertake additional rides and all for no additional charge.

12. Alton Towers; Work Anti-clockwise

Thrill seekers often enjoy rides from the front of the park, starting with Spinball Whizzer, before working clockwise around the park.  Buck the trend & head straight to the Forbidden Valley/Dark Forest before moving towards the front of the park as queues for Nemesis Reborn are likely to build throughout the day.

13. Alton Towers; Queue Times

Keep an eye out for current queue times and any rides not operating that day either via the Alton Towers App or information boards displayed at the beginning of each ride.  By taking account of accurate queue times for particular rides, you can circumnavigate the park avoiding the the worst of the queues.

14. It’s The Queue NOT The Ride That Shuts!

Not many people realise that it’s the queue that shuts at the advertised closing time NOT the actual ride.  If you stay to the end this gives you another chance at the main rides with generally shorter queue times.
