Alton Towers to Introduce Gangsta Granny: The Ride for the Park's 2020 Season

Alton Towers has announced a new dark ride experience for the park's 2020 season, named Gangsta Granny: The Ride. An odd sounding name for sure, but it makes a lot more sense when you understand that it will be based on the popular Gangsta Granny children's book authored by David Walliams. The theme park previously announced a new land based around Mr. Walliams' characters and stories, and the Gangsta Granny dark ride will be the main attraction.

In the book, the main character, Ben, discovers that his Granny is actually an international jewel thief, quite the opposite from the unassuming cabbage loving grandmother he knew.

The new attraction at Alton Towers will take riders on a journey with Ben and his Granny to attempt to pull off "the greatest jewel heist in history," with many amusing antics along the way. Riders will sit in a vehicle that is able to rotate 360 degrees, which will combine with special effects, projection mapping and more. The park promises a "special effects laden wild ride" that finishes with an "explosive escape" after riders try to nab the crown jewels.

The park has worked closely with David Walliams on the development of the new dark ride attraction, and has released a video giving more information on that partnership and the attraction. If you look close you can even see the layout of the ride and more.
