MANY people love going to a theme park for a special treat - but one super fan has revealed how he goes to Alton Towers nearly every day of the year.
Roller coaster lover @coastertog said he even moved 170 miles from so he could live nearby to the popular UK theme park.
The ride fanatic has even racked up over 170,000 followers with his theme park hacks and tips and said many people are baffled at how often he goes.
In a new clip, he shared: “I go to basically every day, and I get asked these questions all the time, so I’m gonna finally answer them.”
The main question he gets asked is how he can afford to go so often, and he said he has a savvy trick.
Hee revealed: “Well, it’s actually pretty cheap. I have a platinum Merlin pass which costs £23 a month, and I can go whenever I want.”
He said that all he does is scan his card and heads right in, and it also allows him to get free parking too.
Given he heads to Alton Towers nearly every day, he often gets asked if he finds it boring now.
He shared: “Truthfully, sometimes some of the rides aren’t as exciting to me as they used to be, but I don’t really come here for the rides.”
The man, who is married with a child, shared how he uses the Staffordshire theme park as a hangout to see his friends and often doesn’t ride any rollercoasters at all.
He admitted that some people may think it is “mental” relocating his life to live 15 minutes away from Alton Towers, but said it makes him happy.
He shared how he first fell in love with the theme park as a kid, and it felt “magical” at the time.
The theme park fan said he has a “normal job” as a photographer and videographer, but is his own boss so has flexibility as to when he works and when he goes to the park.
He shared how he also makes cash from his TikTok account giving his tips and ride news.
Other people have asked him if he finds the rollercoaters scary, and he said that given that he’s ridden them so much, he knows exactly what to expect.
His clip has racked up over 46,000 likes from fascinated viewers, and people rushed to the comments to give their views.
One said: “I wish I could go everyday.”
Another added: “Living the dream.”
A third commented: “Honestly when I had an annual pass I had to rely on my mum to take me but we still went plenty of times and it’s such a chill day when you’re not having to rush for all the queues.”
Alton Towers, which opened in 1980, is owned by Merlin Entertainments, who also operate other major UK attractions like Thorpe Park, Windsor, and the London Eye.
Typically it opens seasonally, from March to November, with select out of season events over .
