Friday 21st February 2025
Alton Towers Resort has unveiled thrilling new drone footage of its record-breaking new attraction, Toxicator, ahead of its grand opening on Saturday, 15th March 2025. This first-of-its-kind elevated Top Spin ride will subject thrillseekers to intense centrifugal forces, extreme spins, and high-speed flips, delivering a pulse-pounding, gravity-defying experience like no other.
In the video, we also get a first glimpse at the music that could be playing around the ride, adding to the intense and immersive atmosphere of Toxicator.
Located in Forbidden Valley, Toxicator stands alongside the recently revamped Nemesis Reborn, adding another high-intensity thrill to the area. The newly released footage gives fans a first-look at the dizzying ride cycle, revealing never-before-seen perspectives of its incredible speed and force. Guests eager to experience the ride’s first-ever spins in the dark can do so as part of the Alton After Dark event on opening night.
Toxicator: The Ultimate Spin Experience
Toxicator isn’t just any Top Spin ride—it’s the highest and most intense of its kind, towering at 78ft, thanks to its 16ft elevated platform. The only Top Spin ride in the world to be lifted above ground level, it allows spectators to stand underneath, watching every flip and twist from below.
Inspired by the mysterious Phalanx organisation, Toxicator plays a crucial role in extracting and refining toxic saliva from the Nemesis creature, converting it into a highly volatile chemical solution. The ride’s dramatic green-lit water fountains represent this powerful substance, adding a cinematic visual element to the experience.

New For 2025 At Alton Towers Toxicator
Monday 13th January 2025
Alton Towers Resort is challenging thrillseekers to submit to the spin as they reveal the first tantalising details of the unique new attraction that awaits them this spring.
Named Toxicator, the new topspin ride can accommodate more than 500 riders per hour. They are seated back-to-back before being flipped round and held face down above a ‘bubbling pool of highly toxic alien acid’.
The first-of-its-kind in the UK, Toxicator sees thrillseekers subjected to heart-pounding centrifugal forces from intense spin patterns.
The only topspin ride in the world to be elevated above ground level means spectators can watch the entire experience from underneath.
Standing at a record-breaking 78ft high thanks to its setting on a 16ft elevated platform - it is situated in the Forbidden Valley next to the iconic Nemesis Reborn.
It is the latest technology from the shadowy organisation known as The Phalanx and is used by them to extract and separate toxic saliva from the Nemesis creature.
It applies an intense spinning, centrifugal force to the saliva which turns it into a chemical solution so powerful it will melt anything it touches.
Fans were recently treated to an exciting first tease of the new attraction in a TV advert unveiled this week.
Bianca Sammut, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort, said: “Alton Towers is renowned for consistently delivering new and reimagined thrills for our fans and as the UK’s only topspin ride, we’re excited to welcome Toxicator to the park.
“We can’t wait to challenge thrillseekers to submit to the spin. Located in the heart of Forbidden Valley, this is the latest chapter in the Nemesis story which has captivated generations of thrillseekers worldwide.
“We’re not yet ready to reveal precisely when Toxicator will turn your world upside down, but rest assured the wait will be worth it.”

Alton Towers New For 2025 Huss Top Spin Delivered
Wednesday 20th November 2024
Shawn Sanbrooke, a theme park YouTuber, has made an exciting discovery at Alton Towers that has set the fan community buzzing. While exploring the resort, Shawn spotted what appears to be key components of the park's upcoming 2025 attraction being stored in one of the car parks. The parts, partially covered in snow, offer tantalizing hints about the new ride’s identity, which enthusiasts have speculated to be a Huss Top Spin—a popular thrill ride model.
The discovery provides compelling confirmation of months of speculation. The visible details on the ride pieces, including a striking black and yellow color scheme, align with what fans have been anticipating. However, the snow blanketing much of the structure has made it difficult to fully discern the ride’s overall aesthetic. This color palette might hint at a dramatic or intense theme, possibly tying into a larger narrative or area revitalization within the park.
It’s safe to say that this sneak peek has heightened anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying addition to Alton Towers’ lineup in 2025.
