Alton Towers 2021 ReOpening plans have today been revealed in a new press release and we get a rough idea of when we can expect to hop on Gangsta Granny: The Ride.
The Staffordshire based theme park will open its gates to guests from April 12th.
Before the rides open to the public the Alton Towers gardens will open from March 29th – April 11th with the park resuming normal operations April 12th as it currently stands although this date is still a guideline and not set in stone.
The Resort is also aiming to have a fantastic line-up of live entertainment, celebrations and festivities throughout the year. More details to be released soon.
It is also anticipated the Theme Park’s much-anticipated latest attraction, Gangsta Granny: The Ride will open in the Spring after the re-opening.
The ground-breaking, brand-new family attraction brings to life David Walliams’ most popular children’s novel. Published by HarperCollins Children’s Books, Gangsta Granny tells the story of Ben who discovers that his Granny is secretly an international jewel thief.
The thrilling new 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, 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.
Restrictions will still be in place across the park in line with Government Guidelines.
A full overview of the range of safety and hygiene measures that have been implemented ahead of reopening can be found here. Measures will include:
- Pre-booking tickets: All guests to pre-book tickets online in advance of their visit to enable capacity control
