Yeah, Alton Towers, it's got everything in terms of a family day out, and in terms of what coaster enthusiasts want, well, the best enthusiasts can get in England anyhow. (With the expection of a woodie obviously, thats the one thing the park is lacking, but Thorpe Park doesn't have a woodie either) The thing about Thorpe Park for me is that it is so small, that everyhting is right there, you really don't have to walk very much to get to the nest ride which is great, but along with that comes a space problem, which is something Alton Towers certainly don't suffer from (although they do suffer from many other afflictions, the Ropers for example lol.) But yeah, Alton Towers has something for everyone, including the biggest garden I've ever seen
for the old grannies. There's far more variety and more to do at Alton Towers, but don't get me wrong, Thorpe Park a great little park too [;)]
