Toxicator is a top spin style ride which is to open on 15 March 2025 at Alton Towers, UK.[1] It is the first top spin to be built in the UK since Ripsaw in 1997, and the first Suspended top spin in the country.[2]
History
In February 2024, Alton Towers submitted a planning application for a new 60 ft (18 m) tall ride in the Forbidden Valley, dubbed 'Project Ocean', on the site previously occupied by Funk ‘n’ Fly (originally occupied by Ripsaw).[3] Planning permission was approved in April 2024,[4] and construction began in May 2024.[5]
Ride experience
The ride is located above a pathway connecting Galactica to the rest of Forbidden Valley. It contains green-lit fountains which interact with the ride system.[6] The gondola has a maximum height of 78ft, due to a 16ft elevated platform.[1]
