Take a minute to think with me. This is my situation: I'm quite new to London and apart from Thorpe Park, I have not yet been able to see any of the attractions stated above. If I were to visit all ten attractions once in a year, I would spend 225 pounds (prices above are rounded). Which I can do since I love the adrenaline rush that comes with roller coasters, I enjoy visiting aquariums, and Madam Tussauds speaks for itself. But on a student budget, can I afford it?
Then I stumbled across the magical Merlin Annual Pass. Now if you haven't heard of it yet, then you might think I am pulling your leg. But I am completely telling the truth. For 140.40 pounds, you can visit each of the above stated attractions. You can visit Thorpe Park four times, London Dungeons two times, and Alton Towers five times. As long as you visit the attractions within the year of your pass, you can explore them as many times as you want.
And if you are not yet tired of the rush that comes with these attractions then you can renew your pass for just 87.76 pounds the following year.
