Alton Towers is better than the ones by near you, not sure on the water park side of it though....

Splash Landings is ok, I wouldn't class it as a waterpark, more as a glorified indoor pool with some slides.

A four year old will love it though !

Hotel buffet breakfast is awesome

Can see the slides etc from the dining area, didn't look huge, but as Mike said should be more than enough for a 4 year old.

It's the best we have for all round experience. Thorpe Park has better thrill rides though.

Took from local paper

quote:
The ride, which is the resort’s biggest ever investment, will feature a track the length of 10 football fields, gut-wrenching 30-metre drops and hurtling speeds of up to 85km per hour.


I know a B&B (my nearly aunty) if you want to stop over? u2u me if interested.

You'd probably be better going to Waterworld in Stoke if you're heading this way anyway

Frends have been a couple of times and rave about it.

Yet to go myself though.
For saying its so close, I take it for granted that its not going anywhere and never really get round to arrange going

But is that one attached to a hotel with themed rooms Tom?

Think if I've heard right, If you stop at the hotel, you get access to splash landings and theme park (before other guests).
