As I've never been on a Loopathon trip before (or to AT / DMP) I'm trying to plan how and when I travel and the accommodation needed for the stay-over(s).

What times does each day come to a close? From initial talks at the summer bash I gather it's approx 6.30-7.00 for Alton Towers following the ERS and perhaps a similar time for DMP?

Any advice from those that have been on Loopathon events in the past would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Thats alright. It is not a very cheap option though.
