Alton Towers' New Toxicator Ride Briefly Closes Due to Burst Pipe Incident

The highly anticipated toxic waste-themed attraction faced a temporary shutdown on its opening day after brown liquid flooded the queue area.

Toxicator, Alton Towers' newest ride, temporarily closed on its opening day after a burst pipe caused brown liquid to flood the queue area.
Visitors speculated the liquid was sewage, but Alton Towers denied this, attributing the issue to a nearby burst pipe unrelated to the ride itself.
The ride was paused for approximately one to two hours on Saturday, March 15, before reopening to guests later that day.
Some parkgoers expressed frustration over long wait times and lack of compensation, while others praised staff for quickly resolving the issue.
Toxicator, part of the Nemesis storyline, is the only elevated top spin ride in the world, standing 78 feet tall and featuring a toxic waste theme.
