Alton Towers Stargazing Lodges

Alton Towers have been granted permission to build more accommodation on the lawn area across the road from the Enchanted Village. The new 102 accommodation village looks to be themed around stargazing with some of the plans for the area having the words “Stargazing Lodges” written on them. The lodges look to be very basic with a large shower and toilet block being built down one end of the site. 

With some of the hotels on site being closed for half of the year (Splash Landings), it seems very strange that Merlin keeps investing in accommodation instead of more new rides inside the park.
