Halloween will come early this spring to Alton Towers has the park has unveiled details abouts its latest spooky attraction.

‘A haunting dark ride, taking you on a hair-raising journey through the spectacular twist and turns of the cursed Manor,’ is how Alton Towers describe The Curse of Alton Towers.

The haunted area where Alton Manor resides was once home to the attraction Duel, which closed last September.

Alton Towers say that the ride was ‘abruptly closed after the building was repossessed last year due to unnatural activity in the area.’ 

The reality is the closure was part of the re-imagination of what will be The Curse of Alton Towers.

Kate McBirnie, Head of Product Excellence at Alton Towers Resort, said: “Let the countdown begin! The Curse at Alton Manor is no ordinary dark ride. It has all the components of a supernatural tale – it’s dark, compelling and promises some thrilling and scary moments along the way. Fans of eerie rides will certainly appreciate this one.

“More details on The Curse at Alton Manor will be revealed next month, so stay tuned for what’s to come.”
