For 15 years Alton Towers Resort has welcomed The Ultimate Event, for a day of stomach churning rides and an evening of live music from some of Christian Music’s top acts.

With a brand new ride for 2010, Th13teen, alongside legends such as Nemesis, Air and Rita and a special early park entry, for Ultimate Event guests, this year is going to be bigger, better and packed with more ride time than ever before.

Th13teen will be based on the discovery of an unearthed ancient burial site in an area of unexplored woodland known as the Dark Forest. Built on the site of the old Corkscrew rollercoaster, visitors will be invited to take a petrifying ride on Th13teen, venturing into the seemingly living and breathing Dark Forest. There they will face an unknown horror that has been unleashed from the ancient crypt.

The ride has been developed with the world's leading coaster and thrill consultants who have collaborated to combine the ultimate elements of physical and psychological fear - to create what experts are dubbing a ‘psychoaster’.

Access to the park this year will be from 9:00* for Ultimate Event guests. With tickets available to print at home, using our Print-N-Go system, it really could not be quicker or easier to get your day started. Home print tickets will include your entry ticket and also a voucher for collection of your concert wristband on the day. It is important that you bring all printed ticket information with you on the day. For larger groups please make sure that you bring tickets to cover entry for all guests. Entry to both the park and concert will require all printed ticket information.

On entry to the park, wristbands for the evening event will be available for collection from the Wristband Collection Point, located on The Turnstile Plaza, just before The Main Street. Please make sure you collect your evening wristbands before you proceed into the park, as entry to the evening event will be declined if you are not wearing a wristband.

At the end of the day, when your stomach can take no more, it’s time to head over to our purpose built arena for The Ultimate Event. Our fantastic line up of Great British acts are sure to provide the loudest and liveliest end to your day imaginable. The concert arena will be open from 4:45. Pick you spot and prepare for an evening of top class entertainment.

The Ultimate Event is THE Great British Day Out.
