Mick, Haven't been to Alton Towers for 4 or 5 years but from how we found it then I'd rate it about 8.5/10 as it has thrill rides etc. Futuroscope has some simulator stuff but no roller-coasters etc. For us, we roughly rate the following: Futuroscope 7/10 Drayton Manor Park (West Midlands) 7/10 Alton Towers 8.5/10 Florida Parks (ie Universal Studios) 10/10 Mark.
