General presentation
Alton Towers Resort
A thrill park set up in a vast historical estate, known for its roller coasters that use wooded relief.
The discovery of Alton Towers Resort is based around The Smiler, Nemesis Reborn and Wicker Man. The stay thus alternates between the leisure worlds, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only most well-known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: tributary and variable files depending on the period and tickets and times to be checked on official websites. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Amusement Park
The Smiler
The Smiler intertwines its black rails in a compact structure where trains seem to intersect constantly. The course multiplies inversions and maintains a steady pace from start to finish, while observing it from X-Sector already helps to measure its intensity. It is clearly addressed to visitors at ease with the strong sensations.
Amusement Park
Nemesis Reborn
Nemesis Reborn plunges below the aisles into a rocky trench where the train approaches relief, bridges and industrial scenery. The suspended legs accentuate each turn and give a feeling of speed higher than the actual height of the course. It is a short but very physical attraction, reserved for lovers of intense coasters.
Amusement Park
Wicker Man
Wicker Man runs a wooden train around a large burning effigy, with smoke, tunnels and effects that reinforce his ritual narrative. The route favours change of direction and sensation of speed rather than inversions. It is a good transition for those who want to discover a large coaster without starting with the most extreme attractions of the park.
