Alton Towers PE: Opening Day
All times are shown in GMT
Important Information:
We are expecting Alton Towers PE to reach capacity. For this reason, we request that you do not AFK on the server, to allow other players to join. We have increased the server's capacity for the opening day - this is currently planned to be 40, however it may change throughout the day.
To deal with the large crowds, we have set up a suggested route throughout the park. This will allow you to see all of the park's wonders, while getting from area to area in time for each opening and avoiding the majority of the crowds.
Waiting times for attractions may become quite large on the opening day, so we request that you queue for rides in an orderly fashion and do not queue jump. Thank you for your patience while we deal with all of the guests!

Suggested Guide:
This is the route we advise you to take throughout the day, to avoid large crowds, attend all openings, and see everything the park has to offer. Please be aware that this is only a suggested guide, and you are free to explore the park however you wish!
9:00-9:30: Head through Towers Street, taking in the views of the historic Towers, and go to the left in order to reach Spinball Whizzer in time for its opening at 9:30.
9:30-10:00: Turn right out of Adventure Land, and head into CBeebies Land. If you were one of the first off of Spinball Whizzer, now is the perfect time to have a walk by the lake!
10:00-10:30: Head straight out of CBeebies Land, then through Mutiny Bay, past the entrance to Wicker Man and into Katanga Canyon.
10:30-11:00: Turn right out of the exit for The Runaway Mine Train, and around to Congo River Rapids. If you got off of The Runaway Mine Train quickly, now if the perfect time to get some merch from Katanga Cargo, or a bite to eat from Explorer's Pizza & Pasta!
11:00-11:30: Head back down the path to Mutiny Bay. As multiple attractions are opening at 11:30, we advise picking one with a short queue.
11:30-12:00: Continue through Mutiny Bay, coming around the front of the Mutiny Bay Courtyard. The entrance to Battle Galleons is located next to Haunted Hollow.
12:00-13:00: It's time for some spooks! Turn right out of the exit of Battle Galleon and continue straight on into Haunted Hollow. This will take you straight to the entrance of Duel: The Haunted House Strikes Back!
13:00-14:00: Turning left out of the entrance for Duel: The Haunted House Strikes Back, continue down the path towards Forbidden Valley. Sit back... It's fright time!
14:00-15:00: This is a long walk! Head down into The Gardens, following the colour-coded markers to The Towers. You will pass directly through the bottom of The Gardens, offering beautiful views up the valley and The Conservatories. Head across the field in front of The Towers, turning left when you reach Goal Striker, and into X-Sector.
15:00-16:00: To avoid the crowds, there is a small path you can take between The Fried Chicken Co. and X-Cite Games. Continue directly past the front of The Towers, then follow the colour-coded markers through The Gardens to Dark Forest.
16:00-17:00: Head down into The Gardens, past The Swiss Cottage and The Pagoda Fountain. Continuing up the path you came down when leaving Nemesis, head deeper into Forbidden Valley to find Galactica!
17:00-18:00 Take The Skyride back across The Gardens. Turning right out of the Cloud Cuckoo Land Skyride station, continue back into Dark Forest to face the horrors of TH13TEEN! If you are one of the first riders off of TH13TEEN, now is the perfect time to try The Alton Towers Dungeon!
18:00-19:00: Turn to the right out of Dark Forest, taking a look at The Towers if you have time. Continue across the field in front of The Towers and into X-Sector to reach The Smiler!
19:00-20:00: Turn to the left as you leave X-Sector, and across the front of the lake. Continuing past Battle Galleons, prepare to feed the flames with Wicker Man!
20:00-22:00: Phew! There's now two hours left to enjoy the thrills before the park closes, then reopens at 10am on the 15th!
