Alton Towers has unveiled its new ride dubbed the “first-of-its-kind” in the UK.
Known as the Toxicator, the topspin ride will be open from March 15 at the theme park, giving thrillseekers excitedly awaiting the dizzying experience much to look forward to over coming weeks.
The ride will accommodate more than 500 people per hour, who will be seated back to back before being flipped around and held down, as they are left to face “alien acid” for a moment.
Aptly positioned next to Nemesis Reborn in the heart of the Forbidden Valley, the ride towers at 78ft (with a 16ft elevated platform) - meaning it is the highest of its kind, according to Alton Towers.
It promises to be “the only topspin ride in the world to be elevated above ground level”. Meanwhile, spectators can catch a glimpse of the attraction as water fountains flanked by dramatically shoot up.
The Toxicator has been billed as the “latest technology from the shadowy organisation known as The Phalanx … [used] to extract and separate toxic saliva from the Nemesis beast”.
Vice President at Alton Towers Resort, Bianca Sammut, said: “We’re excited to be giving fans a flavour of the truly ‘spincredible’ power of Toxicator. From the 15th March those brave enough to submit to the spin will be able to experience the latest that Forbidden Valley has to offer.”
The theme park has advised that tickets can now be booked for people to be amongst the first to submit to the experience.
