After last years’ success with the opening the World of Jumanji, The Curse at Alton Manor, and the LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race Experience, it would be hard to top that in 2024… But this year we have so many things to be excited about including epic events, new coasters, the launch of a 10-acre Woodland Village, and so much more! So, check out some of the most anticipated things to be excited about this year.

Nemesis Reborn!
Where: Alton Towers Resort
Deep in the Thunder Valley area of Alton Towers Resort, a routine excavation led to a shocking discovery - Nemesis, an alien predator from another dimension. This dangerous creature had been hidden, lying dormant until it was disturbed and awoken from its slumber. Once awake, it began to feed and wreak havoc on the surrounding area. The ensuing battle to contain the beast resulted in the near destruction of Thunder Valley, leaving behind a post-apocalyptic landscape that is now known as Forbidden Valley.
In 1994, the situation reached a critical point, and the Phalanx, a private military organization, was mobilized to deal with Nemesis. Their extreme security division managed to pin the beast down with 250 tonnes of steel, successfully containing it. A security silence fell over Forbidden Valley and for years that followed, everything seemed to be under control, and the world moved on.
Then in 2022 the normally secretive Phalanx revealed that they would be closing the area to carry out investigations… Now in 2024 Nemesis Reborn is expected to open.
