I noticed on the discounts on the homepage you'd listed an Alton Towers discount yet when I go into the discounts can't find it for love nor money?? What's going on??

This Friday coming (22nd) I said to dh last night that I am really looking forward to it, then managed to list all the ride I will NOT go on, he then asked me so what are you going on then.

Really looking forward to it, I hope I have the same time as you regarding ques (sp?), weather etc. it the day the schools break up, so I am hoping parents don't taken them out a day early and all head for AT's.

Will let you know, if I deared Oblivion again. Can't mention to the kids we are going, as they will go mad that they can't come too, they really enjoyed it last year.

We had a fab day. I did a thread yesterday to thank soapbox but I don't think she's around. It didn't rain at all, there were no ques anywhere. We took ds and dd to the Tweenies show which was great. I got all emotional and shed a few tears. What a wuss. Ds eevn got to meet Bella and Milo and got a cuddle from each of them. Ds also went on the logflume twice with dh. I can't believe he went on. He was just ot the 0.9 metre height so got on but he looked so small. He's alot braver than I was at 3. When are you going??

Woodpops/Golds - have just put tickets in post to you both! Hope you both enjoy it.

The tickets are for 9.30 entry, which I think is half an hour before the park opens officially, so don't forget to get there early and do a few big rides before the queues build up

golds · 12/10/2004 09:27

Woodpops - do you live local to AT then ?
I can't seem to find any MNrs in my area

This Friday with the kids. We're having a family day so no big rides this time (thank God). I've done them all once so I could say I'd done them but that's as far as it goes.

22 October - It our 10th Anniversary and we just want to act like big kids for the day. How about you ?

One thing is for sure - I am not going on Oblivion again - needs to be tried once, but once is enough for me.

Woodpops - how about I let you have two and golds have one of the tickets - that would make it as fair as poss!

Sorry everyone. I'm still here. Very long story but my g'ma has terminal cancer and is not well at all. Anyway we won't go into that one now. Soapbaox, i've e-mailed you to say I'd love the tickets if they're still available but totally understand if you've let golds have them. Will talk later.

Sorry, didn't want it to look as if I was doing it for my benefit, I just didn't want her to miss out if she wanted them

soapbox · 08/10/2004 19:06

golds I'll CAT her - she hasn't been on at all today!

Will post here and let you know what she says!

bump for woodpops

golds · 08/10/2004 10:44

OK - thanks

soapbox · 08/10/2004 10:42

Golds - yes of course!

Will let Woodpops have first refusal though

golds · 08/10/2004 10:37

soapbox, if woodpops doesn't want them, would it be cheeky to ask if I could have them please.

soapbox · 08/10/2004 10:33

Woodpops - I was lucky enough to win the alton towers tickets last time round and have three of them left.

We have annual passes to Chessington which gets us into Alton towers free, so we won't be using them and wouldn't like them to be wasted!

They are valid until 31 Oct 2004. CAT me if you want them

Carrie (mumsnet) · 07/10/2004 15:16

We think the discount was linked to a competition last year and had a time limit - we're taking it off the home page while we check.

We are however getting back in touch with Alton towers to see if they can reinstate it. There's also an alton towers comp coming very soon so watch this space!

golds · 07/10/2004 07:21

thanks for asking the question, I am interested too, me and dh want to go for our anniversary as a wild childish day out.
