Alton Towers opening brought forward

2006-02-12

By Neil Preece: Alton Towers is currently closed for the winter, but will now re-open on Sunday March 19, 2006.

This is a whole two weeks earlier than expected due to a private event at the park. Charlie and the Chocolate factory is still expected to open on April 1st! Now with only two months until opening day the park is a hype of activity, fences being painted, paths being cleaned and all the usual closed season maintenance is taking place to ensure 2006 is a fantastic season.
