Footage released today (February 21) shows the heart-pounding experience riders can expect when they board the new ride, Toxicator.
Those brave enough to face the ride can do so when it opens on Saturday, March 15.
Alton Towers Resort said the topspin ride is the highest of its kind, towering at 78ft thanks to its 16ft elevated platform.
The only topspin ride in the world to be elevated above ground level means spectators can watch the entire experience from underneath.
It is positioned in the 'Forbidden Valley' area at the Stoke-on-Trent attraction, flanked by the popular Nemesis Reborn, which was revamped last year in an 18-month transformation.
Water fountains dramatically shoot up around the new attraction, representing the 'chemical solution' formed from the 'Nemesis’ saliva'.
Bianca Sammut, Vice President of Alton Towers Resort, said: “We are excited to be giving fans a flavour of the truly ‘spincredible’ power of Toxicator.
“From March 15, those brave enough to submit to the spin will be able to experience the latest that Forbidden Valley has to offer.”
The story of Toxicator is linked to Nemesis Reborn - it is the latest 'technology' from the 'shadowy organisation' known as 'The Phalanx' and is used by them to extract and separate 'toxic saliva' from the 'Nemesis beast'.
