Last time we went we didn't get on everything so we bought return tickets to use once the kids had gone back to school.
So the lot that went first time round already have tickets
Shall we are meet at the tesco again then drive up to alton towers?
If so what the best time for everyone

Go up the A515<<ish>> from Lichfield - classic country road driving!! Woohoo!! Just remember to brake hard for the bridge over the river after the "Welcome to Derbyshire" sign... its a dogleg over the river... Managed to jump Kochanski on it, and it got hairy when the tyres hit tarmac because a wall was coming up rather quickly.... Added on to one of her many tail-end dents... I think they've put traffic lights in the way now.
Tragically I can't repeat the performance in Greta on Monday because I wouldn't want to risk cracking a rear-cluster on that wall and I have to be in Reading
grim
Another time though - gotta get on that new ride Rita Queen of Speed... hmm!!!! Nitrous Oxide proppelled roller coaster!!!

Would it be a better idea to all meet at the entrance to the monorail at 9:30, rather than a venue a few miles out?

I just don't see the point of meeting at Tesco when time is short - fair enough if we were meeting earlier, so we can have a bite to eat etc - but as far as I can tell, we're aiming to be riding the rides at 10:00 - so I don't see the point in meeting at Tesco at 09:30....
