Alton Towers to Offer Free Wi-Fi to Customers

Published on:

­UK based theme park, Alton Towers has signed a deal with Wi-Fi provider The Cloud to deliver free, totally unlimited Wi-Fi access across the 500- acre theme park in Staffordshire.

Visitors will be able to access Facebook and Twitter to update their friends on the fun they're having and upload videos and photos instantly, instead of waiting until they're home.

The Cloud says that it has seen usage on its own network increase at an unprecedented pace in the last two years, having witnessed its unique user base doubling since the start of the year and the total number of sessions tripling, highlighting the real demand for Wi-Fi hotspots in public places around the UK.

Katherine Duckworth, head of consumer marketing at the Alton Towers Resort comments, "The rapid growth in the use of smartphones and tablets has fundamentally changed how many of us use the internet and has increased people's demand for internet access wherever they are, which is why we want to offer free Wi-Fi access to guests of Alton Towers Resort."

The Cloud, a BSkyB company, now has more than 10,000 hotspots around the UK.
