Alton Towers launches two brand new attractions for the 2012 theme park season. Adding to its existing portfolio of over 50 rides and attractions, Ice Age The 4-D Experience and Nemesis Sub-Terra.

What's New at Alton Towers 

Located in the Cloud Cuckoo Land Theatreat the theme park, the Ice Age cinema will combine 3-D footage, based on the third movie in the blockbuster series, with an exhilarating variety of physical effects including icy blasts, snow and bubbles. Fans will also have the opportunity to meet both Sid and Scrat around Alton Towers, before staying over in one of the brand new Ice Age themed bedrooms in the Splash Landings Hotel. The super-cool rooms feature everyone’s favourite characters from the film – Scrat, Manny, Diego and Sid and will keep the whole family entertained with quizzes, games and prizes!

Also new for Alton Towers in 2012 is Nemesis Sub-Terra, a psychologically and physically thrilling experience, taking place in a dark, intense underground setting which will be based around the back-story of the original Nemesis attraction, which opened in 1994. Set to be one of the park's most terrifying attractions, Nemesis Sub-Terra takes guests down into the deepest, darkest location of the theme park for the experience.

The new attractions join old favourites at the UK’s number 1 theme park. With over 50 rides and attractions there is something for all the family to enjoy, whether you’re after gentle thrills or pure adrenalin pumping experiences! After an action packed day, enjoy a short break at either the Alton Towers Hotel or Splash Landings Hotel situated just a stone’s throw away from the theme park. Discover the fun and quirky features of the Alton Towers Hotel, based around the travels of the incredible explorer Sir Algenon. Over in the Splash Landings Hotel, the sun shines every day in the crazy Caribbean themed hotel.
