Alton Towers Resort has teased it’s new topspin ride and revealed its name as thrillseekers wait in anticipation for the opening of the ‘highest ride of its kind’.
Opening in Spring 2025, the Toxicator, is the first-of its kind in the UK submitting riders to heart-pounding centrifugal forces from intense spin patterns. The new topspin ride at the Staffordshire park can take more than 500 riders per hour who are seated back-to-back before being flipped round and held face down above a “bubbling pool of highly toxic alien acid”.
Standing at a record-breaking 78ft high, due to it sitting on a 16ft elevated platform, it’s the only topspin ride in the world to be elevated above ground level meaning visitors can watch the entire experience from underneath.

Located in the park’s Forbidden Valley, next to the iconic Nemesis Reborn, it is the ‘latest technology’ from the shadowy organisation known as ‘The Phalanx’ and is used by them to extract and separate toxic saliva from the Nemesis creature.
Bianca Sammut, vice president of Alton Towers Resort , said: “Alton Towers is renowned for consistently delivering new and reimagined thrills for our fans and as the UK’s only topspin ride, we’re excited to welcome Toxicator to the park. We can’t wait to challenge thrillseekers to submit to the spin.
“Located in the heart of Forbidden Valley, this is the latest chapter in the Nemesis story which has captivated generations of thrillseekers worldwide. We’re not yet ready to reveal precisely when Toxicator will turn your world upside down, but rest assured the wait will be worth it.”
