Behind the scenes of Gangsta Granny: The Ride at Alton Towers

Hannah Bechelet takes an exclusive look around Alton Towers' upcoming ride, based on the David Walliams book Gangsta Granny.

In the special report, ITV Central's Hannah Bechelet talks to John Burton, Creative Lead for Alton Towers.

Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books, Gangsta Granny tells the fun story of Ben who discovers that his Granny is secretly an international jewel thief.

The thrilling new 4D 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.

On-board a Royal Carriage, guests will set off on a Crown Jewels tour only to be caught up in Ben and Granny’s audacious adventure. The ride will whizz, twist and spin passengers 360° through a series of scenes where they will see, feel, hear and even smell an electrifying and unique re-telling of the Gangsta Granny story.

Using state-of-the-art special effects, 3D projection-mapping and animation inspired by the artwork of Tony Ross, guests will descend with Ben and Granny into the sewers, be chased through the streets of London and come face to face with the Queen: but will the madcap scheme succeed?
