The Alton Towers Theme Park is divided into ten themed areas: Towers Street, Mutiny Bay, Katanga Canyon, Gloomy Wood, Forbidden Valley, Dark Forest, Cloud Cuckoo Land, X-Sector, Adventure Land and CBeebies Land. The theme park is also home to the historic Towers and Gardens. The SkyRide cable car system travels between Towers Street, Forbidden Valley and Cloud Cuckoo Land and takes in views of the gardens.
The park’s maximum daily capacity is set at 28,000 guests. According to the TEA attendance report, the park attracted 1,925,000 people in 2015, a 25% decrease on 2014’s figure of 2,575,000. The park has cited The Smiler’s crash in June as the main reason for the park’s large decrease. The decrease demoted Alton Towers to Britain’s 2nd most visited theme park after Legoland Windsor and the 12th most visited theme park in Europe. In 2014 it was Britain’s most visited theme park and the 9th most visited theme park in Europe.
Events
Prior to the main open season, Alton Towers usually holds the February Half-Term event. For the event the Alton Towers theme park has opened with selected rides. However, the event has been cancelled for 2016; with the exception of Sharkbait Reef which will be open for Pirate and Princess Week held at the hotels. Cook and Line, from the Swashbuckle program on CBeebies, will provide entertainment for the event.
Scarefest is the resort’s largest annual event. It celebrates Halloween with a number of temporary scare maze attractions, costumed characters and extended opening hours. Rides and areas are lit with coloured lighting at night, with rides continuing to operate after dusk. The Scarefest event has been running since 2007, although the park started celebrating Halloween with decoration several years before and has operated the Terror of the Towers scaremaze since 2002.source
