Editorial Standards and Corrections

Unofficial Alton Towers publishes independent visitor information about Alton Towers Resort. We are not operated, owned, authorised or endorsed by Alton Towers Resort or Merlin Entertainments.

What our information is for

We aim to help visitors understand rides, opening times, access requirements, seasonal events, accommodation and practical trip planning. Our guides are independent commentary and are not a substitute for the resort's current official instructions.

Sources and verification

We use publicly available resort announcements and attraction information, documented historical material, and clearly attributed third-party sources where relevant. Live queue reports are third-party estimates; current operating decisions and on-site signage take precedence. Date-sensitive information such as ticket prices, opening hours, age guidance, accessibility arrangements and ride requirements must be checked with the resort before travelling or booking.

How we handle updates

Publication dates identify when posts were first published, not when each claim was independently rechecked. We aim to correct information when credible updates or errors are identified. Articles based on historical announcements may be retained as archives rather than silently rewritten to suggest they are current.

Corrections and transparency

Readers can report factual errors, out-of-date information or accessibility problems using our contact page. Please include the article URL and the information that needs reviewing. A correction may involve editing the relevant page, clarifying a claim or linking to newer information.

Commercial relationships

Some ticket and short-break links contain affiliate tracking. These links may earn the website a commission. They do not make this an official resort site. See our affiliate disclosure for more information.
