Alton Towers Resort has revealed the name of its brand-new ride set to open in Spring 2025.

Toxicator will open inside Forbidden Valley, described as a "fearsome battleground of otherworldly aliens, suspicious scientific experiments and military might" by Alton Towers.

A statement on the theme park's website reads: "Take hold and brace yourself. Because your world is about to be turned upside down. ​

"Toxicator is ready to whip up a dizzying vortex of fear in the heart of the Forbidden Valley.

"Hang in suspense and feel the powerful forces at play, spinning you into a whirlwind of excitement and fear. Hearts will pound. Adrenaline will soar.​

"Ready to face the ultimate thrill?​"



Toxicator will open inside Forbidden Valley this Spring (Alton Towers Resort).

Judging from the promotional video for Toxicator, the ride appears to be similar to the former Ripsaw ride.

Ripsaw, a HUSS Top Spin, was taken out of operation in 2015, having opened at the park in 1997.

The ride saw up to 40 riders sat in a two-tier gondola being spun by a pair of robotic arms, as well as being lowered into water jets.
