Half Term Hullabaloo
The park opens selected attractions during February half-term in the closed season. In 2009, the event ran from 14-22 February. Rides in 2009 included Oblivion, Air, Blade, Duel and Runaway Mine Train.
[edit] Scarefest
The park’s major annual event is ‘Scarefest’ which celebrates Halloween with a number of scare mazes, including the hugely popular Terror of the Towers. Characters and decorations are also set up around rides or even incorporated into the rides such as ‘Duel Live’ in place of Duel. This year’s Scarefest has been advertised as running from 17 October-1 November 2009.
[edit] Winter
Alton Towers resort is transformed into a Winter Wonderland during December and early January. With a magical world of reindeer, elves and Santa himself, guests can ride on selected attractions in the playground located adjacent to the Splash Landings hotel. There’s dozens of Christmas trees, characters and live entertainment.
[edit] Fireworks (past event)
In past years, Alton Towers hosted an annual fireworks display on the Great Lawns, which attracted tens of thousands of visitors. The displays were amazing, but too loud, which led to complaints from certain neighbours, especially two local residents, Suzanne and Stephen Roper, who took the theme park to court regarding this issue. After a court noise abatement order was issued in October 2005, the park could only hold three shows a year with noise readings not exceeding 40 decibels outside the park,[14] which led to the park abandoning the fireworks in favour for the scarefest event. This has been met with a very mixed reaction from guests, and even some locals are disappointed about the removal of these. The last show was held in 2006.
It is also of note that the Earl of Shrewsbury made use of fireworks as part of the Grand Fetes held at Alton Towers in the 1890s.
