Cred Street
Head down to Cred Street and be greeted by a happy area filled with live shows and rides all aimed at younger children. Home to a rather large factory that has featured in a very famous film and children's book!
Forbidden Valley
This area is home to two of Alton Towers' most famous rides - a roller coasting duo that is up there with some of the world's top coasters. There's also the incredible setting for two other thrill rides - a post apocalyptic landscape, featuring one big bad alien creature that's forcing its way to the surface from a huge ravine!
Gloomy Wood
A spooky time awaits you in the dark recesses of the Gloomy Wood. Battle against evil in a ghost train ride with a difference, or take a creepy walk through to the Forbidden Valley.
Katanga Canyon
The crags of this mighty canyon are home to two family rides. Within the abandoned mines lies a disused mine cart track, converted into a family roller coaster. Meanwhile, the river that runs at the base of the canyon is known for its white waters and speeding currents!
Merrie England
A splendid English disposition awaits you in Merrie England - the celebration of all things that are in our green and placid lands. Boil up a fine English brew on a theme park classic, or get a soaking on like with the British weather on the log flume ride!
Old MacDonald's Farmyard
A little land of farming frolics. The kids will be thrilled by all of the animals at Old MacDonald's farmyard, which also provides the little ones with a selection of great rides and attractions.

X-Sector
Journey through a black hole and find yourself in uncharted space. This sector has rides more wild than a space rocket launch, including the world's first vertical drop roller coaster!
