You can't get them in the stores any more but the Sainsburys Great Days Out vouchers are still valid for Alton Towers 'till November 2008. 

The Sainsburys BOGOF vouchers will get one child or an adult in to Alton Towers free with a full-paying adult. Useful discount. 

The 28-year-old Corkscrew at Alton Towers is to be demolished at the end of the season.

Costing 1.25m, the Corkscrew reaches speeds of 44mph (70 km/h) and was Europe's first double-looped rollercoaster. It has carried an estimated 43.5 million passengers since 1980.

The Corkscrew's last ride will be on 9th November 2008. Though Alton Towers closes on 2nd November for the winter, it will open specially on the 9th for the last day of the Corkscrew. The iconic ride will then be dismantled to make way for something bigger and better.

Moley can't wait to see what the folk at Alton Towers have planned to replace it...watch this space...

Shame about the Corkscrew. But then it is getting on a bit. Bound to be making way for a fantastic new attraction next year.
