New for 2023: The Curse at Alton Manor

New for 2023: The Curse at Alton Manor

The new attraction is set to be the park’s most immersive dark ride to date.

Alton Towers is keeping ride details, including the backstory of the Manor’s sinister past under wraps for now, however it has said it will be a haunting ride which will frighten and excite both brave youngsters and adults, as it takes them on a hair-raising journey through the spectacular twists and turns of the manor.


Although there is very limited information around what to expect, the creators are said to have found new and unimaginable ways to scare and surprise fans, with special effects and visuals that have never been seen before from a UK theme park.

The spooky site where Alton Manor resides was previously home to the interactive attraction Duel, however the ride was abruptly closed last year after the building was 'repossessed' due to unnatural activity in the area.

Although information around the strange goings-on inside the old house is limited, the image offers a set of clues about what’s in store for fans who dare to ride The Curse at Alton Manor, but the park is leaving it up to fans to figure this out.

Kate McBirnie, Head of Product Excellence at Alton Towers Resort, said:

“Let the countdown begin! The Curse at Alton Manor is no ordinary dark ride. It has all the components of a supernatural tale - it’s dark, compelling and promises some thrilling and scary moments along the way. Fans of eerie rides will certainly appreciate this one. More details on The Curse at Alton Manor will be revealed next month, so stay tuned for what’s to come.”
