We were chatting to the staff about it when we went there a week or so ago.
They were more concerned about the gay event happening there over a whole weekend.
Not a day to browse the lovely gardens I bet. Or ride the Black Hole.

ERA, What Muslim laws might apply on such a day, that would affect the usual rights and liberties of ordinary British citizens?

Would infidels be allowed in?! I guess it would be like a bomb factory, with city maps with targets marked out on them, and a stock-pile of American flags ready to be burnt?

Well Bubba I am not the most strict of muslims so aren't really qualified to comment. However one can assume it's the normal abstentionary practices i.e no alcohol, halal food etc. Although I assume people could bring their own in. TBH I am not really interested in these symbolic gestures that stoke such fervour.

I think its awefull that there singling out muslims or whichever religion are only allowed in!

It can't be good for the surrounding areas! Im not racist but people I know of would start fights over something like this!

They should just keep it as public park!

Be a nice day to drive round brum though JK!

So you shouldn't be – how much more divisive could such a misguided idea be?

I wonder whose idea it was? Whether it was the muslim community itself, Alton Towers management, or some politically correct New Labour councilor's attempt at the social engineering that drives their 'Multi Culturalist' ideals?



I am genuinely shocked that these sorts of things are happening.

What happens if a white Muslim turns up, do they have to produce a proof of Muslim credentials, is the assumption that anyone with slightly darker skin is a Muslim, are the Alton Towers gate staff trained in spotting Muslims ?

Ditto the gay only day, do you have to mince, snog a bloke or you get kicked out, once in do you have to pretent to be out ?

I think any way of getting the usual Burberry capped, tracksuit wearing, cider drinking, rude little chavs out of Alton Towers for a day is a good thing!!!
