    They allow outside food to be brought in? are the drawers at the ride big enough for waist pouch? tahnks. I'm going next Friday, wish me luck with the queue.😂

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  2 роки тому

      Yes, you can bring in your own food (though I’d probably avoid a roast chicken)! The drawers are big, they’re probably the size of bookcases or small cubby holes, so a waist pouch will definitely fit 👌🏽
      Good luck with the queues haha - definitely get there early!

    i’m going to alton towers next week and i wear glasses and for example i want to go on the smiler. does the smiler have any lockers, and if so where? obviously i don’t want to wear them because i’ll lose them. is it safe enough to put them in zip pockets or not?

    If we buy a day pass, do we have access to go to water park and theme park as well??

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  2 роки тому +1

      Hey! I think the Day Passes are separate. Because the Alton Towers Day Pass gives you a rainy day guarantee to return to the park, whereas the Water Park Day Pass is a one-off! But I’d double check on their live chat :)

    Does the park still let you enter at 9:15am? I know the official times are 10am but would be great to get in earlier

    • @melissalegarda
      @melissalegarda  11 місяців тому

      When I got to the car park by 9.30am, plenty of people had already parked and were queuing for the train shuttle! Not sure about the park entry itself - think you'd have to wait probably
