| Forbidden Valley |
| Forbidden valley was originally called Thunder
Valley in 1990 when thunder looper was installed then for 2 years nothing
happened but in 1992 the "new beast" moved up from Talbot street
along with a kiddies roller coaster "beastie". Then in 1994
something special happened the hole was dug the roller coaster was built
and the theming was done and "Nemesis" was open Alton Towers new
12million pound inverted coaster was open to the public and also with a
new coaster a new name came "Forbidden Valley". Then during the
closed season of 1996 funny things were happening to "Forbidden
Valley" the Thunder Looper was taken out and replaced with a top of
the range Huss Top Spin called Ripsaw was opened and the re-theming of the
pirate ship called the blade entered "Forbidden Valley" and the
beastie was moved down to kiddies kingdom. Then when the 1998 season
opened many people mourned the loss of the beast 1997 was the last
operating year. Then nothing much happened up in "Forbidden
Valley" for the next 4 years but at the end of 2001 season guests
could see something big was happening the lift hill was built and so was
part of the drop the only thing people knew was it was going to be called
"AIR" and had seen a model of it in the entrance shop. Then for
the 2002 season the ride was opened and it was called "AIR" a
B&M flying coaster this put a whole new level to coaster riding and
after its year of absence we welcomed back dino dancer under the new name
of dynamo |
| Theming |
|
Some say "forbidden Valley" has the best theming with huge boulders randomly placed and rusty wire fencing and all the rides are made to look like a rusty industrial site run by the huge monster that is "Nemesis" which is also the main attraction but AIR is slowly over taking it other rides like blade, ripsaw and dynamo are also attracting guests |
