Alton Towers is the best theme park in the UK- great for the kids, teens, twenties and older! Even my Mum (whose 60) like it! She was great on Duel, a shooting ride! My husband is a big thrill seeker so was very happy- he was like a teenager again!- and took my niece whose 12 on all the big... more
