Alton Towers expected to pay £100k for road improvements

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Alton Towers must shell out £100,000 on measures to ease traffic gridlock – before it can build its latest ride. The payment is designed to compensate for the thousands of extra vehicles the new ride is expected to generate on the already traffic-choked country lanes.

I develop Superior Solitaire when not riding coasters.

The road situation around the park is nothing short of insane...charming village all about with pubs and narrow roads disguised as alleyways, then BAM, a huge amusement park. A more direct route that cuts around the village would be a huge improvement.

Apparently "night life" is even more foreign to Alton Towers than it is to CP. Closing at 5 or 6 PM seems absurd. I was at SFA on a day they closed at 6, and it just seemed bizarre to leave that early.
