David Walliams officially signed off on Gangsta Granny the Ride and in this latest video we get a sneak peek of the Gangsta Granny POV and get a good idea of what’s in store for us!
Six local Staffordshire school children become the first kids in the world to experience the ride, giving it a big thumbs up!
Walliams led the six schoolchildren onto the ride to be the world’s official ‘First Riders’ of Gangsta Granny: The Ride. The children could not contain their excitement as they rushed to try out the exhilarating new attraction.
This brand new attraction at Alton Towers resort will be a multi-sensory experience as you will join characters from the book as they attempt the greatest heist in the history of the world: to steal the Crown Jewels.
The exhilarating journey will see guests hop 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 even smell an electrifying and unique re-telling of the Gangsta Granny story.
David Walliams said:
“It’s an incredible feeling, I did feel very emotional. I did think ‘wow, how has all this happened’ because the book was written just over 10 years ago, and it’s now famous enough to have its own ride at Alton Towers. I came here as a kid! So, it’s pretty mind-blowing.”
“I just loved going on the ride, and I can’t wait to come back with my son and nephew because they are both under 10, I mean they both will absolutely freak out when they get to experience it. “
The ride is due to be launched May 17th along with the rest of the attractions in The World of David Walliams and the brand new Raj’s Shop which you will enter upon leaving Gangsta Granny: The Ride.
