Alton Towers Resort

The Staffordshire theme park Alton Towers, located on the outskirts of the Peak District, probably doesn’t need an introduction. Covering 910 acres and divided into ten exciting zones, it is the biggest theme park in the United Kingdom!

The Rides Alton Towers has been welcoming thrill-seekers of all ages, sizes, and degrees of experience to its forty-plus rides and attractions since it opened in 1986.

Those courageous enough to ride the rollercoasters will be thrilled and awed by the showstopper attractions, which include record-breaking components.

England hasn’t produced a wooden coaster since Wicker Man, which is more than twenty-one years ago. Rumbling and shaking your way towards and through the Wicker Man’s chest causes the massive effigy at the core of the attraction to explode into flames, thanks to state-of-the-art special effects.

As far as roller coasters go, the Smiler has more loops than any other ride on Earth. Travelling at a staggering 85 km/hr, riders complete a maze of loops.

The thrill attraction TH13TEEN features the first free-fall drop in roller coaster history, sending riders reeling as they hurtle backwards through a terrifying maze of turns and twists in the dark.

The exhilarating sensation of space travel is combined with the thrill of flying on Galactica, which suspends passengers in a prone posture.

Even the most jaded adrenaline junkies can’t get enough of Nemesis. On one of the world’s most extreme rides, riders let go underneath the track and feel forces of up to 4G.

One thrilling element of Oblivion is a 180-degree plunge into a tunnel made of black, dry ice, where riders experience 4.5Gs as they plummet to their deaths. Be sure to take in the breathtaking views from the peak before you descend!

The jaw-dropping Rita can propel riders from 0 to 100 km/h in a little 2.5 seconds, making it the perfect bike for speed demons. Hurled down a succession of sweeping curves and dips at an incredible rate of speed, you won’t have time to catch your breath.

Family Fun
Guests of all ages, even those less enthusiastic about roller coasters, will find something to enjoy at this park, so don’t worry about the little ones.

There are a tonne of attractions at The Land, as well as indoor and outdoor play spaces, and live entertainment every night, including shows like Hey Duggee’s Big Day Out Badge, the Teletubbies Big Band Live Show, and Bing and Flop in Bing’s Picnic.

Cloud Cuckoo Land is a fun place for smaller visitors as well. They may ride the most bizarre carousel, hop like frogs, or try their hand at driving at the Cuckoo Cars Driving School!

Or, be ready to be awed by the five terrifying performances, boat ride, and six themed zones that make up the Alton Towers Dungeon. Experience the eerie past of the original Alton Towers in Hex: The Legend Of The Towers, an immersive attraction that will captivate the whole family.

A View of the Heights
It is a graceful Grade I listed building with portions originating from the 12th century, not a false castle, as is frequently believed, but the magnificent stately residence that is the centre of Alton Towers. The Earl of Shrewsbury and his family, the Talbots, resided there for about 500 years, until 1924.

Away from the bustling ride areas, the lush, picturesque gardens provide a tranquil haven with shaded spaces and picturesque focal points like the Chinese Pagoda Fountain, the Swiss Cottage, the Dutch and Italian Gardens, the Gothic Prospect Tower, and many more.

It offers thrills, chills, and spooks to everyone who attend. Guests may experience the thrill of riding in the dark on attractions that remain open late, and a number of award-winning fright mazes use real actors and special effects to terrify them.
