After closing due to a large fire that destroyed the old Skyride station in The Dark forest the whole system has had an overhaul during the closed season and the burnt down station has been rebuilt better than ever! Gone are the horrible old skyirde pods and new colour Poma pods have been installed on the circuit. These new Skyride cars are a vast improvement on the old ones.

The Skyride station has now been removed and new foundations look to have been poured ready for a new station building to be constructed during the closed season. It is expected that during this time the whole Skyride system could be overhauled with new cars and control systems.

Work removing the burnt down Skyride stations continues at Alton Towers, with the structure completely burnt out and unsafe.

Heavy machinery can be seen in the Skyride station at Cred Street, this is probably being used to remove large elements of the burnt down station.
Wednesday 22nd July 2009
The damage of the Skyride Fire at Cred Street is now visible at Alton Towers. All of the damaged walls and dangerous structures have been removed leaving just a shell of the building left. We expect that over the next few weeks the station will be taken down and rebuilt over the closed season.
