New 78ft ride at Alton Towers 'will turn your world upside down'
Staffordshire's Alton Towers has revealed the first tantalising details of its unique new attraction.
Named Toxicator, the new topspin ride can accommodate more than 500 riders per hour.
Thrill seekers are seated back-to-back before being flipped round and held face down above a 'bubbling pool of highly toxic alien acid'.
Standing at a record-breaking 78ft high thanks to its setting on a 16ft elevated platform, it is situated in the Forbidden Valley next to the iconic Nemesis Reborn.
Bianca Sammut, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort, said: “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.
“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.
“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.”
