I LOVE Alton Towers. I go well as often as I can. Queues are not bad if you know how to time your day. Get on Nemesis and Air in the morning and use single riders, if you don't mind sitting on your own. Hardly anyone uses them and you'll be on and off the ride in a matter of 5-10 minutes. I don't bother with the fast passes because single rider works fine for me.
Nemesis is amazing, went a couple weeks ago and went on 16 times in a day, using single rider. Also, don't go on Charlie and the chocolate factory, waste of time! lol.
