See the full statement below:

Gangsta Granny: The Ride Delayed

 

For those unaware Gangsta Granny is a children’s book written by David Walliams. The ride will follow the main character Ben and his Granny as they embark on a crown jewels tour which is then sabotaged by Ben and Granny who persuade the guests to join them on a heist of a lifetime to steal the crown jewels, the ride is based on the book, though it does not follow the exact story line. The ride will be a 4D family dark ride created by Garmemdale.

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.”

The ride is brought to life using Garmendale’s unique guided dark ride system and a host of state-of-the-art special effects, 3D projection-mapping.

It’s a shame that the ride has been pushed to next year but hopefully it means Alton Towers will receive two new attractions then.
