Alton Towers reveals first details of scary new attraction opening this spring

Alton Towers has released the first details of its new attraction coming to the theme park this spring, The Curse at Alton Manor - set to be the resort’s most immersive dark ride to date. The Resort said it will be a haunting ride which will frighten and excite children and adults as it takes them on a hair-raising journey.

Creators of The Curse at Alton Manor are said to have found new ways to scare and surprise fans, with special effects and visuals that have never been seen before from a UK theme park. The spooky site where Alton Manor resides was once home to the attraction Duel.

Kate McBirnie, Head of Product Excellence at Alton Towers Resort, said: “Let the countdown begin! The Curse at Alton Manor is no ordinary dark ride. It has all the components of a supernatural tale - it’s dark, compelling and promises some thrilling and scary moments along the way. Fans of eerie rides will certainly appreciate this one.

“More details on The Curse at Alton Manor will be revealed next month, so stay tuned for what’s to come.”

Alton Towers Resort is renowned for providing unique attractions, including Wicker Man, the UK’s first wooden rollercoaster to be built in over 20 years, Oblivion, the world’s first vertical drop rollercoaster and The Smiler, the world’s first 14 loop rollercoaster.
