We Tried Alton Towers’ New Bluey Ride – and Weren’t Ready for It
The family praised the Bluey ride and waterpark, but said one night with tickets and fast-track passes could cost nearly £962, according to the review.
After six weeks recovering from a fractured collarbone, a four-year-old experienced the new Bluey ride at Alton Towers' CBeebies Land, which became the highlight of a family overnight visit including a 'moon voyage room' hotel stay and waterpark day.
Timing the visit for a Friday helped avoid peak queues before school half-term holidays, though a parent with limited enthusiasm for water attractions joined the trip to create lasting childhood memories.
The Bluey ride proved 'pretty intense' for young riders, causing the child to hesitate at the queue front, yet she became hooked after a second attempt; the Alton Towers Waterpark exceeded expectations with the Volcanic Springs warm pool and attentive hotel staff.
During the drive home, the child talked constantly about Bluey, water slides and ice cream, asking when she could return, making the nearly £1,000 expense worthwhile despite parents leaving exhausted and overstimulated.
One-Night packages combining a £306.50 hotel stay, park tickets, waterpark access, and gold Fast Track passes at £157.50 per person could cost £962 or more, exemplifying how theme parks like Alton Towers increasingly market themselves as immersive multi-day getaway destinations.
