no, your denied access because a group have booked it, that group happens to be muslims, which in my opinion is not doing themselves any favours. That said though if they are willing to let nonn muslims go on that day as long as they abide by their rules for their day that they have payed for then thats fair and also very brave of them .
The fault is with alton towers, they shouldn't be letting any religeous group book it, in fact they shouldn't be letting any group at all book it, it's supposed to be open to the public, they advertise to the public. Whats about all the disapointed and upset kids that will be turning up. They should be open to the public or booked events only, not close just because they've lucky ebough to get a private booking.
Also whats about people who have already prebooked day tickets or the hotel, there's bound to have been some.
