Thrillseekers can get their adrenaline pumping at the UK’s biggest theme park as soon as Saturday as Alton Towers prepares to reopen. The Staffordshire resort will be reopening from March 19 with brand new attractions.
Home to the famous Nemesis, vertical drop coaster Oblivion, and Wicker Man, it also offers the country’s only CBeebies Land, perfect for little ones. Three new attractions will be ready to welcome families at the colourful corner of the park, including Hey Duggee Big Adventure Badge, JoJo & Gran Gran at Home and Andy’s Adventures Dinosaur Dig.
There’s also a new Bing live show joining the line-up of themed rides and live entertainment. The resort - just an hour and 40 minutes away from Manchester city centre - is opening in plenty of time for the Easter half term, and has announced a programme of festivities to celebrate.
