Member Discounts 2024
Member discounts are now being published on our discounts page. More will appear as we make progress, so regularly check the page for updates.
All existing offers are on the Discounts & Offers page.
As always, and as we've said many times, the parks monitor usage of our member discounts as it takes them time and effort to setup for us on their EPOS systems. So as always...... Use them or Lose them (when you can!).

Ryan Rap - Charity Single
|
The club charity song "Ryan Rap" is available for download on Amazon Music, iTunes, Spotify, etc.
It is a fun dance tune featuring quotes and phrases from popular member Ryan Hackett who was completely unaware that I was going to use his voice in the song. Please can I request that you download the song as I am going to donate all profits to PAPYRUS (Prevention of Young Suicide). Suicide is the leading cause of young deaths in the UK. The song is only 79p and is family friendly (unlike many songs in the charts today!) and as well as having the song in your collection, you may just be saving a young persons life. To download, go to your chosen music supplier and search for either "Ryan Rap" or "MC Nev". I thank you in advance. For more details about the charity click on the Papyrus logo below. |
Andy Hine - Why Wood is Good (Alton Towers Article)
As part of the launch in 2018, Andy did a short interview for Alton Towers about Wooden Coasters and explains his love of them, the campaign for 20 years to get a new wooden coaster in the UK (and anyone who's been to Loopathon in the past knows the wind-ups we've been giving the management to get one).
The article also explains how wooden coasters are different to steel ones, and what people should expect as most people who regularly visit Alton Towers, Drayton Manor, and Thorpe Park etc. won't have ever ridden one, and those who have probably haven't experienced new wooden technology.
