A new ride at Alton Towers was forced to temporarily close on its opening day after a burst pipe caused brown liquid to leak out near the queue entrance. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Toxicator is a ground-breaking Huss Top spin flat ride, reaching 78 feet high. Opening on the 15th of March, 2025, guests are seated back to back straight before being taken up to new heights and being spun forwards and backwards multiple times whilst being high above Forbidden Valley.
