Gangsta Granny: The Ride opening at Alton Towers on 17th May 2021

Alton Towers has announced that new attraction Gangsta Granny: The Ride will open on 17th May 2021, subject to government guidelines.

Alton Towers has also revealed 'first look' images of Gangsta Granny: The Ride, revealing the ground-breaking, brand-new family attraction that brings to life David Walliams’ most popular children’s novel. The thrilling new multi-sensory ride experience will see guests join the main characters as they attempt the greatest heist in the history of the world: to steal the Crown Jewels.

The new images reveal the exhilarating journey guests will take from the very moment they step foot on the Royal Carriage through to a sneak peek of the 3D projection-mapping and animation inspired by the artwork of Tony Ross.

Guests will aboard a Royal Carriage as they set off on a remarkable tour of London’s Crown Jewels, only to be swept-up in Ben and Granny’s exhilarating escapade. The ride will whizz, twist and spin through the sewers on a 360° special effect laden wild ride to break into the Crown Jewels vault.

Passengers will see, feel, hear and smell this unique re-telling of the Gangsta Granny story as they descend with Ben and Granny into the sewers, get chased through the streets of London and even come face to face with the Queen.

The fun doesn’t stop there: a whole area of the theme park has been transformed, inspired by The World of David Walliams. As well as Gangsta Granny: The Ride, the new themed area will feature a host of other rides and attractions where guests can:

  • Pick up a crazy bargain in Raj’s Shop
  • Race on a regal thoroughbred on the Royal Carousel
  • Giggle with delight on Raj’s Bouncy Bottom Burp
  • Encounter other surprises and twists along the way

David Walliams said:

“I can’t wait for Gangsta Granny: The Ride to finally come to life and open its doors to families. The images really showcase the amazing production behind the ride and it’s a real delight to see my characters brought to life”

Alton Towers has also revealed images of the new Gangsta Granny themed bedrooms in the onsite Alton Towers Hotel.
