* [[BreatherEpisode Air]]: The world's first "flying" rollercoaster prototype. Sits next to Nemesis and themed (nearly) around a oasis. Opened in 2002. Planned to be renamed "Galactica" in 2016 and re-designed around a space theme involving virtual reality headsets.
* [[YouAreNumberSix Th13teen]]: Was unfortunately marketed as a thrill ride, "The Ultimate Rollercoaster", when it's meant for the family market. Themed around an unearthed crypt during the removal of the Corkscrew, alongside a dark forest, mysterious Wraiths and many other inconsistent aspects. Opened in 2010.
* [[SlasherSmile The]] [[HappinessIsMandatory Smiler]]: The latest rollercoaster containing a world's first element, this time being the first coaster with fourteen loops. Also the last to be designed by John Wardley before his retirement. Like Oblivion, themed around a sinister research facility - this one designed to turn people into mindless grinning automatons. Opened in 2013, but is currently closed after a freak accident that injured several riders in June 2015.

* Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory: The Ride: One for the kiddies -- a Disney-style two-part attraction (first half a gentle boat ride, second half a simulator) based on the Creator/RoaldDahl novel with its characters depicted through both CGI animation and animatronic figures designed in the style of Quentin Blake's illustrations. Opened April Fool's Day 2006 and currently the only theme park ride based on this novel.
* Corkscrew: One of Alton Towers's first rollercoasters and the crux to the park's opening success. Opened in 1981 and finally closed in 2008. Infamous for banging riders heads around.
* Rita (formerly Rita, Queen of Speed): A hydraulic-launched rollercoaster. Very fast. Originally themed around racing then, with the arrival of Th13teen, re-themed as a spooky abandoned ruin.

* The Haunted House/Duel: Originally a dark ride through a terrifying haunted Victorian mansion, Duel received a 'makeover'for 2003 with zombies and laser guns, and now challenges riders to attain the highest score possible as they blast their way through a heck of a lot of semi-comical animatronics.

* Nemesis Sub-Terra: Companion ride to Nemesis with the premise that Nemesis has laid an egg that's being monitored in a containment facility, from which riders must escape (through a maze filled with strobe effects and actors jumping out at you) when the egg "hatches." Re-worked after opening to poor reviews.
* Spinball Whizzer/[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogSpinball Sonic Spinball]]: Originally named Spinball Whizzer (a pun on the title "Pinball Wizard" awarded to the eponymous character in the rock opera ''Music/{{Tommy}}'' by Music/TheWho, later repainted and themed (under license from Creator/{{Sega}}) around ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''. Each train consists of a single car with seats facing each other, that spins freely 360 degrees 'round through most of the ride.

* Creator/GeorgeOrwell: ''The'' inspiration for the X-Section, and said land looks like something out of ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'', except it's more focused on forcing people to be ''always'' happy.
* HauntedHouse: A dark ride present in the park was themed after and named ''The Haunted House''. In 2003, it was remade into ''Duel''.
* OnIce: In the late 90's and early 2000's there was an ice show at Alton Towers that featured characters from BeatrixPotter such as [[TheTaleOfPeterRabbit Peter Rabbit]] Miss Tiggy Winkle, Tom Kitten, Miss TiddleMouse, and The Two Naughty Mice.
* OneMillionBC: The theme for UG Land (now the Dark Forest).
* TheOphelia: The "Th13teen Girl", who appeared in the original TV ads for Thi13teen and used to appear at Scarefest. She was removed after the actress was attacked by drunken park visitors, but is still considered part of the ride's mythology.

Alton Towers is a theme park located in [[UsefulNotes/TheMidlands Staffordshire]], England. It is often voted the most popular theme park in Britain, just above Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and is one of the country's leading attractions. Like its sister parks ThorpePark and Chessington World of Adventures it is currently being run by Merlin Entertainments Ltd., and caters for the family market, edging on thrills and more or less, fun. The park was escalated notability in the 1990s thanks to John Wardley, ride concept designer for Tussauds and now Merlin's creative consultant who revolutionised the British theme park industry from the late 1980s to the early 2000s, who developed part of the park through theatrical brilliance.
