Spotted the 4x value voucher exchange on nectar points running at the moment

and thought this could be an ideal way to make a day trip to either Alton Towers or Legoland cheaper in September - but I need help to decide which is best! I've never been to Legoland and last went to Alton Towers about 15 years ago without kids.
Counting the nectar points as the value I could spend them in in Sainsburys:
Legoland £75 all in with fuel and parking (wd have to pay for DS)
Alton Towers £60 all in with fuel and parking (DS under 4 so free)
Legoland - 1hr45mins
Alton Towers - 1hr15mins
DS is autistic so we could get a ride access pass so that we could occupy him whilst waiting for some rides rather than standing in a physical queue and causing a meltdown. So no queuebots etc.
DS is 3.5. He lOVES in the Night Garden and Numtums and is pretty familiar with all the other characters in CBeebies land at Alton Towers. He likes playing with lego and building things.
He doesn't have huge sensory problems but he doesn't like small children/babies crying.
He's pretty fearless and would love fast rides. He's slightly taller than average (+1m in shoes). He doesn't listen to instruction and doesn't have great self preservation - i.e. wouldn't think to hang on, not fling himself in water etc.
We'd go in a threesome - DS, DH and me.
Which do you think we'd enjoy most?
