The Blade at The Alton Towers Resort
The Blade is a giant chunk of metal that swings like a pendulum in the depths of the Forbidden Valley.
The Blade offers a ride that is similar to the classic pirate ship rides. The back and forth motion builds up gradually until the ship is vertical, giving the feeling of being weightless.
This is a ride that fits perfectly into the Forbidden Valley area, you will be swung high over the post apocalyptic ruins - giving you great views of Nemesis and the surrounding areas - just hold onto your lunch!
The Blade is a fun attraction that gives the best thrills when you are sitting at either the back or the front of the ride.
