Alton Towers is currently offering a deal that allows adrenaline enthusiasts to secure a three-month pass to the theme park for just £59. This is even cheaper than the single £68 entry fee ticket that visitors would pay if they turned up at the gates.
The theme park, home to top attractions such as Oblivion, Nemesis and The Smiler, offers the three-month pass as an affordable and flexible option for families planning to visit the park this summer and into the autumn. It's particularly handy given the expected crowds during the peak summer holiday hours, with families having the opportunity to return at a quieter time to enjoy their favourite rides again.
Alton Towers is the UK's largest theme park, outdoing competitors like Thorpe Park and Light Water Valley in terms of sheer size. It offers a wide range of attractions, catering to thrill-seekers with its heart-pounding rides as well as younger children with CBeebies Land.

Yet not every visitor was quite so impressed.
One frustrated guest remarked: "As expected, when you go to a theme park they are very long queues. What you don't expect is no seating on a two hour queue. Waiting is not a problem, standing for two hours for one ride with no chance to sit down and rest your legs and back, really is!".

Brighton man's rollercoaster record on track despite Storm Floris
A man whose plan to ride every rollercoaster in the UK in 16 days was was scuppered by Storm Floris has said he may still break a world Stokes, from Brighton in East Sussex, had intended to go on 120 coasters across 32 theme parks, starting at Brighton Palace Pier and ending at Thorpe Park in the 36-year-old ran into problems less than a third of the way into his challenge, due to strong winds and heavy rain shutting down several Mr Stokes said he had been informed by Guinness World Records that his mission may not have been completely derailed. "We were scuppered by Storm Floris as most rides were shut down for safety reasons, which is understandable, but still really frustrating," he said."For example, on the day I was in north Devon I had meant to get on eight rollercoasters, but only managed one."But a message from Guinness World Records had revived the prospect of setting a new record, he said."We're working out the details, but maybe it could be something like most rollercoasters ridden in a week instead," he World Records said: "We would like to wish Dean the best of luck in his exciting rollercoaster record attempt and look forward to receiving his application and evidence."There is no current record-holder for the most rollercoasters ridden in a week, and Mr Stokes has been set a target of 30 to claim the inaugural the purposes of the attempt, a rollercoaster is defined as a ride which features a car or cars which run along a fixed linear track or rails. This includes so-called 'kiddie coasters', but excludes theme park trains and wet rides, such as log flumes, Guinness World Records said. Mr Stokes said that he had been overwhelmed by the support he had been shown, with some people turning up to ride rollercoasters with him."I've had ride operators recognise me from my videos, while a kid called Jack and his family decided to join me on one rollercoaster," he added that he hoped to "build a bit of a crowd" of fellow thrill-seekers for Thorpe Park, the final stop of his trip."The big reason that I'm doing this is to prove people should just get out there and do more of what they love," he added.

Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor is the best game that's never getting a remake
A reader makes the case for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor getting a modern remaster, as he laments the fate of it and other aging 'not-quite-classics'. When video games take more and more time and budget to make, remasters and remakes are the closest thing publishers have to easy money. I can't really criticise them for that, as long as the end result is good, but we're at the point where some games have been remastered multiple times. Gears Of War: Reloaded this year is going to be the second one, and it's not the only game in that position. The downside to this is that when a good game doesn't get a remaster it feels very unfair. There's a lot of talk about online games being abandoned by publishers nowadays, and no longer existing, but there's also single-player games that you can't buy anymore. Good luck getting a copy of Forza Horizon 4 or any of the old Spider-Man games now, as anything other than physical versions, because they just don't exist now thanks to licences running out. Thankfully the game I want to talk about today isn't in that position, yet, and you can buy Middle-Earth: Shadow Of Mordor for dirt cheap on Steam and the PlayStation Store. Although the Game of the Year Edition (that year being 2014) is still full price. It's not that you can't get hold of Shadow Of Mordor if you want it, but that it's a great game that nobody talks about anymore and that's held back by being a cross-gen Xbox 360 game. Although I do recommend buying and playing it if you never have, I've got to admit it's showing its age and that in an ideal world it would get a remaster or even a remake. If it wasn't a licensed game I'm sure it would've got a remaster or another sequel by now but I'm not sure Warner Bros. even owns the Lord of the Rings licence anymore. They're still selling the game, but they haven't made a new one in over a decade. The biggest problem is that they shut down developer Monolith Productions, so they can't make a new game or a remaster. Someone else could do it, but at this point that seems like it would be disrespectful, given there was no reason to close them in the first place. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. What's also terrible is that the game's Nemesis system seems to have died with them. This was something I've never seen in any other game, where you could meet random orcs and they'd remember you and they'd become your rivals, creating a whole kind of unique storyline that wasn't scripted but depended on what you did and who you fought. It worked really well and was beefed up in the sequel Shadow Of War, and I believe it was going to be used in the Wonder Woman game they were making when they were shut down. But now it has no future. There'll be no more Nemesis system, no more Shadow Of games, and no more Monolith. Shadow Of War is good, by the way, but while the Nemesis system and combat are a bit better it suffers from a lot of Ubisoft bloat. Also, the story and dialogue is pretty bad. I'm not a Tolkien expert but even I can tell it's just making stuff up for the sake of it and it doesn't really seem authentic, although that doesn't spoil how it plays as a game. I'm sure the developer not existing anymore wouldn't stop Warner Bros. doing a remaster if they thought it'd make money but either there's a legal reason or they just don't think it's worth the effort. Either way, I think it's a real shame and that as time goes by there's going to be a lot of these not-quite-classics that are left behind, never getting updated, never getting sequels, and having all their good ideas left to rot. More Trending Considering the last Lord Of The Rings game got 1/10 it's literally true that you couldn't do worse with a remaster of Shadow Of Mordor. I'd like it to happen, I don't expect, and that's a real shame. By reader Zeiss The reader's features do not necessarily represent the views of GameCentral or Metro.
