Festival of Thrills - An Exciting NEW Event Kicking off at Alton Towers Resort from April 04th Onwards!
Festival of Thrills – An exciting NEW Event kicks off at Alton Towers Resort from this Monday April 04th through until May 06th!
The new seasonal event offers park goers the chance to celebrate the resort’s epic roller coasters as they reawaken for the 2022 season.
Each of the resort’s 7 major roller coasters will feature an appropriately themed musical artist adjacent to the attraction in question.
The aim? – to help celebrate & ‘reawaken’ the rides from their cold and wintry slumber as they burst back into life and welcome thrill seekers back aboard them once again!
Music genres set to feature throughout the event include pop, rock, Gothic rock, drum and base & electro synth to name but a few!
Festival of Thrills makes up the first of 6 fantastic seasonal events set to feature at Alton Towers Resort this year!
Speaking about the event Chris Carter (the resort’s Events & Entertainments Director) says;
“This year we plan to host a series of thrilliant events which will provide fun and thrills for families and thrill-seekers throughout the season like never before.
“We are really excited to kick off the 2022 season with a brand-new event for our guests. Festival of Thrills will be a thrilliant celebration of our awesome world-class rollercoasters, with a host of fantastic live music which will represent the personality and iconic backstories of the rides.”
