The topspin ride, called Toxicator, will be the only one of its kind in the UK and will accommodate more than 500 thrillseekers per hour who will face a ‘bubbling pool of highly toxic alien acid’
Alton Towers has revealed its latest adrenaline-pumping ride, set to enhance the Forbidden Valley section of the park. Last year, the resort introduced a new Nemesis rollercoaster and increased the creature theming in the area.
Now, a 78ft high topspin ride named Toxicator is set to further develop the story, reports Birmingham Live. Capable of accommodating over 500 thrill-seekers an hour, the ride flips guests around to face a “bubbling pool of highly toxic alien acid.”
Alton Towers claims that Toxicator is the first of its kind in Britain, promising riders ‘heart-pounding centrifugal forces from intense spin patterns’, with green, illuminated water fountains on both sides of the ride. The ride will be situated on a 16ft structure, allowing guests to walk underneath – a world first according to the theme park.
For those intrigued by the story of the Nemesis creature and the world dominated by The Phalanx, there’s a narrative that accompanies the ride. The new technology is reportedly used by the mysterious organisation to “extract and separate toxic saliva” from the creature, applying an ‘intense spinning, centrifugal force’ to transform it into a “chemical solution so powerful it will melt anything it touches.”
Bianca Sammut, the vice president of Alton Towers Resort, is buzzing with excitement: “Alton Towers is renowned for consistently delivering new and reimagined thrills for our fans and as the UK’s only topspin ride, we’re excited to welcome Toxicator to the park.”
She promises that this ride will satisfy those hungry for excitement: “We can’t wait to challenge thrillseekers to submit to the spin. Located in the heart of Forbidden Valley, this is the latest chapter in the Nemesis story which has captivated generations of thrillseekers worldwide.”
But there’s a tantalising mystery as to when this dizzying experience will be unveiled: “We’re not yet ready to reveal precisely when Toxicator will turn your world upside down, but rest assured the wait will be worth it.”
