Alton Towers Resort faces backlash over new parking fees, with visitors calling them excessive and unfair due to the park’s remote location and lack of public transit.

Visitors to Alton Towers Resort have voiced anger over new parking fees, with standard parking now £13 and non-passholder express parking up to £30, citing the park’s remote location and lack of public transport as key concerns. Many called the charges excessive and unfair, especially after parking was previously free, and criticized the resort for failing to improve transit options. While Alton Towers cited rising operational costs and offered various ticket and pass options, including annual passes with parking benefits, some guests vowed to visit other parks. The controversy coincides with the unveiling of a large artwork made from over 11,000 canned beans promoting the new Bluey rollercoaster, set to open March 28.
