Alton Towers to launch virtual queuing system for visitors with accessibility needs

17 Sep 2026 · Originally published 17 Sep 2026 8/10 Original headline: Alton Towers to introduce virtual queuing for disabled riders
Alton Towers is introducing a new virtual queuing system that allows visitors with accessibility needs to book ride slots via an app instead of waiting in physical lines. The move follows feedback from disability charities and families, ensuring that those who struggle with sensory overload or long waits can continue to enjoy the park. The system will be rolled out at the Staffordshire site later this year before expanding to other Merlin-run attractions.
