Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers
This area was better known as Thunder Valley until 1994, when things began to stir during some routine excavation work. From the depths rose a colossal extraterrestrial beast, undisturbed for centuries, and understandably very, very angry that it had been awoken from its slumber. Immediately the military had the area sealed off, but they found the alien impossible to kill. Instead they trapped it in the valley with huge steel girders, which have since been bent and warped by the struggles of the creature. This is home to one of the UK's top roller coaster rides!
Whilst the mighty alien still lurks in the valley, there is debris scattered all around in a post apocalyptic landscape; testament those who have tried, and failed, to tame the beast. The Forbidden Valley hosts some of the most nail-biting, exhilarating and breathtaking rides Alton Towers has to offers. Spin, fly and splash your way through this world beating theme park experience!
