We can look at its revenue. Before the pandemic (let’s pretend that never happened, shall we?), Alton Towers was pulling in something like £140-£160 million a year. That’s from tickets, overpriced burgers, and those fluffy hats you absolutely need in the rain.
If we use a rough multiplier—like how much a business is worth based on its profits—we can take a wild swing. Stack that revenue up with its huge land value (it’s in a gorgeous valley in Staffordshire), and you might be looking at £300 million to £500 million for just the park itself. Is that a lot? Yes. Could you afford it? Probably not unless you’ve got a stockpile of gold under your mattress.
