Alton Towers Calendar API Changed

Park Alton Towers

Describe the bug Alton Towers has updated it's calendar for the 2020 season, it no longer uses the old calendar API. The old calendar API (https://www.altontowers.com/Umbraco/Api/OpeningTimes/GetAllAttractionOpeningTimes) returns a 404.

The new calendar API is https://www.altontowers.com/umbraco/api/openinghours/getcalendar

This returns a response of the form

{
  "StartDate": "2019-11-23T00:00:00+00:00",
  "EndDate": "2020-11-08T00:00:00",
  "ClosedText": "Closed",
  "FirstDayOfWeekIsSunday": false,
  "Locations": [
    {
      "locationId": 2047,
      "locationName": "Theme Park",
      "days": [
        {
          "key": "20200321",
          "displayDate": "Saturday 21<sup>st</sup> March",
          "openingHours": "10am - 5pm",
          "lastEntryTime": "",
          "message": ""
        },
        ...
   },
   ...
  ]
}

This seems easier to parse compared to the old one.

Now that's interesting they have a lastentry field, could this be merlin moving the RTP's onto one shared API? That would make things a bit easier.

Thank you for reporting, I've updated the Alton Towers class to use this new URL.
