CALLING all horror fans – Alton Towers Resort is about to open its spine-tingling new attraction, The Curse At Alton Manor.
The haunting and immersive dark ride launches tomorrow.
It charts the terrifying story of Emily Alton, the troubled daughter of a pair of Victorian socialites who much prefer partying to parenting . . . until one night when they disappeared into thin air.
The only person remaining was Emily, and some say she haunts Alton Manor to this day, looking for the one thing denied to her — play.
Families and brave youngsters courageous enough to cross the threshold of The Curse At Alton Manor in the Gloomy Wood area of the theme park will also be confronted by flying demons, levitating dolls and haunted chandeliers.
The ride includes special effects that are a first for a UK theme park and the haunting audio will make guests feel like Emily is talking directly to them, while 3D projection-mapping brings the scenarios grimly to life.
Bianca Sammut, divisional director at the resort, said: “We’re delighted to take the wraps off The Curse At Alton Manor and welcome those brave enough to enter. We have harnessed cutting-edge technology to provide a fully immersive experience that blurs the line between reality and Emily’s demonic world.
“Visitors will seem to disappear in front of their very eyes as a result of spine-chilling special effects and visuals that have never been seen before in a UK theme park.”
This new addition joins a host of other amazing attractions and rides. Are you bold enough to take on the Resort’s world-class roller coasters, including Wicker Man, Nemesis, Oblivion and The Smiler?
Alton Towers Resort is also home to the UK’s only CBeebies Land, so the theme park offers the perfect place for children to learn, play and meet some CBeebies friends.
The Land includes rides and play areas, as well as live shows from Bing And Flop and The Teletubbies. Whether you’re after adrenalin-pumping experiences or family fun, there is something for everyone.
