Notes
The official Alton Towers page lists The Towers as the location, 78 seats per vault, a ride time of 5 minutes 25 seconds, a first opening in 2000 and a minimum height of 2 ft 11 in. Wikipedia and TowersTimes both confirm a Vekoma Mad House ride system; Wikipedia adds 4 rows and 78 riders per vehicle. The design credit for Tussauds Studios and Drew Wilson stays in place as the thematic and creative credit. Because no exact opening day in 2000 has been verified with confidence, the opening date remains blank.
Theming
Gothic Towers attraction built around the Chained Oak legend, with preshows in the historic ruins and a hidden Vekoma Madhouse finale.
Story
The attraction uses the Chained Oak legend as its starting point: an old curse, a recovered branch and a hidden vault in the Towers come together in a dark show ride.
Ride system
In a Madhouse, the motion of the bench stays limited, but the rotating chamber and show lighting convince your body that the entire room is tilting.
