Alton Towers Resort will see the return of its drop tower dark ride as it reopens in time for May half term.

The underground attraction, Nemesis Sub-Terra, will reopen on Saturday, May 27 and Alton Towers Resort invites guests to embark on an intense journey and witness the research of The Phalanx before freefalling into the pit. 

The ride is also known as the Phalanx Research Facility and it’s being reopened by the secret organisation tasked with keeping the Nemesis beast under control, The Phalanx.

Civilians are invited to take a thrilling ride deep into the Earth’s core to discover the secretive research of The Phalanx.

Alton Towers Resort set to reopen ride ahead of May half term

They’re advised to look, stay alert, but don’t touch, as they’re shown exciting glimpses of a Nemesis egg.

Alton Towers Resort explains that they’re told it’s controlled and contained, but very little is known about the origins of the egg that sits beneath the Nemesis site, but it’s showing life signs and a team of Phalanx operatives are investigating. But can they keep control?

For more information or to book your tickets to the theme park, you can visit the Alton Towers Resort website.

A new logo has also been revealed for the ride and it echoes the look of the new Nemesis track that was unveiled last week.

The slick black track with red veins snaking along its length can now be seen ahead of its return in 2024.

Located next to Nemesis Sub-Terra, fans of Nemesis can also watch the transformation take place on a specially constructed viewing platform overlooking the site.
