The Bedrooms

upgraded all of the time.

have a mixture of newly
refurbished and older
rooms.

en-suite and some have
shared (mostly brand
new) bathrooms.
Bedrooms:
Pupils have been able to request whom they would
like to share a room with.
We will try our best to match these up with the rooms
available. Where this is not possible, they will at
least be with 1 of their friends.

stayed here. The portions were of a good size

Day 4 Alton Towers
There are height restrictions on some of the rides – pupils
have been measured so we know which rides they can and
can’t go on.
Please have a look at the website and go on YouTube and
have a proper think about the type of rides that they would like
to go on.
There is also an interactive height and ride planner:
https://towersstreet.com/theme-park/height-restrictions/
Really fast and big rides tend to have a very long queue (1-2
hours).
We have previously organised the groups into:
Big fast rides.
Medium / pretty fast rides – including water rides.
Slow rides and water rides.
