First of all, I hope you all had a great Easter, and if you don't celebrate Easter, hope you had a great weekend! On Friday, my parents took me & my sister to stay at the new Alton Towers Enchanted Village. It was amazing, we all really enjoyed it. My sister, who is 7 years old, loved the little play areas dotted around the site. One of the things I liked was that all of the decor had the same theme. The lodges immediately reminded me of a Tinkerbell film or something! The main room had a double bed and a small fridge with water bottles in it and biscuits, coffee & tea on top of it. The second bedroom was very magical-looking, with a fairy tree wallpaper and a patterned floor.
The food in the restaurants was also really good. We ate in the Emperor's Grill and the Crooked Spoon. When you stay in the village, you can still go to the main Alton Towers hotel or the Splash Landings hotel for entertainment or food.
Also, can we just appreciate this photo I took of my sister!
The next day, we decided to go to the theme park. I'm a massive rollercoaster fanatic, I absolutely love them. I went on the Smiler straight after taking my sister on Spinball Whizzer because it's literally my favourite ride in the entire park. Also, the new Galactica ride opened the day before we went, and I really wanted to try it! If you've ever been on Air, it's the same ride but they've renamed it Galactica and added Virtual Reality goggles. So basically headsets that you wear which make you feel like you're in outer space. Sounds amazing, but turns out it was actually a really bad idea. They tell you how long the line is based on how long it takes to get through the line on the other rollercoasters in the park, but a 30 minute line ended up taking 90 minutes. They were really slow at loading the cars because every individual person had to have their headsets equipped and focused. In the end, the ride wasn't even that good anyway, so I definitely wouldn't recommend that you try it out. That was the only part of the weekend I didn't really enjoy, but the rest was amazing!
In case you're wondering, the younger girl in these pictures is my sister.
