BRITAIN’S largest family have been on quite the adventure this summer.
The family of 24 recently got back from a camper van holiday in Scotland- and now they are spending a few adrenaline-fueled days at Alton Towers.
Posting to Instagram, the Morecambe family shared some snaps of their time in the theme park as they went on rides and dined at the on-site restaurants.
Not every experience has gone smoothly as they shared a snap of their 11-year-old daughter, Tillie, who passed out on the Rita ride.
This speedy ride reaches speeds of 100kph in just 2.5 seconds, putting your body through 4.7G force.
However, in the next Instagram story the family reassure their followers that Tillie is “fine”.
They added: “Apparently it happens a lot because of the speed.”
Later, the family posted an update saying many people have also shared experiences of fainting on rollercoasters.

They wrote: “My inbox is full of message’s like this. Tillie found it so funny, she came off the ride running and laughing.”
One follower messaged the family and said: “I went to Alton Towers with friends and sat next to a guy on Rita (who fainted)… 10 years later and we’re married and expecting our second child.”
A spokesperson for Alton Towers said: “Whilst fainting is uncommon on rides it can happen from time to time for a number of different reasons, including feeling unwell, having a pre-existing medical condition, or not eating or drinking enough when enjoying a fun day out with family and friends.
"We ask all guests to familiarise themselves with the health and safety guidance and restrictions, clearly stated at the entrance to each ride, before they choose to experience it.”
The family has shared plenty of other Alton Tower pictures to their Instagram account.
In one photo Sue, Noel and some of their children were posed near the theme park entrance.

The Instagram caption reads: “What an AMAZING day making beautiful memories.
“Absolutely love Alton Towers #staycation #altontowers #makingmemories.”
Other photos showed the younger kids having fun on the rides in CBeebies Land.
Their Instagram story is also being regularly updated with pictures.
The family were spotted at the quirky Roller Coaster restaurant which delivers food and beverages via a metal roller coaster.
