The Alton Towers Resort Waterpark looks set to be closed from 5th January - 22nd January 2015. The waterpark closes this time of year for its yearly maintenance, this is where most of the waterpark is repainted and all of the interactive water features are fixed.

Today Merlin have updated the Annual Pass Website with this years “Sale” information. However there seem to be multiple complaints on the Facebook page of the website with people saying that an email they received a few weeks ago made the pass prices cheaper!

Alton Towers have confirmed the ride line up for their February Half Term 2015 event running from February 14th until 22nd. Tickets for the event can be brought from the recently refurbished Alton Towers website with annual pass holders gaining access to the event for free.

Back in September in 2014 Thorpe Park announced on their Facebook and Twitter page that the Flying Fish was to shut early for maintenance. This sparked theme park enthusiasts into overdrive starting a rumour that the park could be opening for February half term in 2015.

During a visit to the park today we noticed that Digger Challenge has started to be removed from the park. Rumours are currently going around that the ride could be being replaced with a new Disko ride from Zamperla for the new Lego Friends Area.

Work on the Enchanted Village at Alton Towers is well underway with the lodges being fitted and the tree houses being finished off. Grass banks are being built in-between the tree houses and the lodges to separate them.

Christmas is just two days away however Alton Towers has decorated both of its hotels for its Santa Sleepover events and people passing through.

In a recent email from Thorpe Park to our mailbox the park looks to have confirmed the starting date of the 2015 theme park season.

The closed season is here and the theme parks have shut there doors for the 2014 theme park season. Which means its time to start pondering what the parks will be building for next year!

Preparations for the Alton Towers 2014 fireworks display are well underway with audio being played around the area on Sunday evening. The Towers have been decorated with multi coloured lights again with moving lights being positioned around the lawn in-front of the towers.
