There are a variety of ways to get around the Alton Towers theme park, whether it be by rail, foot or even in the air, they each provide their own views of the theme park surroundings.
Other Info
There are two choices of how to travel from the car park to the theme park entrance. You can either walk to Towers Street, which is about a 1km and takes around 20 minutes, or catch the Monorail from the station located in the main car park. The Monorail has been around since 1987 and is the quicker and less strenuous option.
Once inside the park you may want to save time by catching the Skyride between Towers Street, Forbidden Valley and Cloud Cuckoo Land.
