Alton Towers Sky Ride Set To Return For 2025?
Is Alton Towers Sky Ride FINALLY set to return for 2025? In a brand new official image and update shared by the resort themselves the ride’s gondolas can be seen traversing their way across the park’s beautiful heritage gardens.
The iconic transportation ride first opened at Alton Towers Resort back in 1987 and has been transporting guests around the park giving breathtaking views of the park as it does so.
In 2022 however the ride sadly closed and has stayed so for the past 2 years whilst the resort have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the Sky Ride back for future generations to enjoy.

Taking about the progress taking place on the ride, Alton Towers Resort have stated the following;
“The iconic Skyride is soaring through testing as part of a multi-million-pound investment! As Alton Towers Resort embarks on a multi-million pound investment into the iconic Skyride attraction, we are excited to see the gondolas moving again.”
“Specialist teams have been carrying out extensive work behind the scenes to preserve the charm of the Skyride, ensuring it remains a beloved feature of the park for generations to come. A true piece of Alton Towers Resort history, the Skyride has whisked millions of visitors across the park since 1987, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences.”
Although the Sky Ride’s official reopening date is still yet to be announced, this latest update by the resort makes us ever more positive we could infact see the Sky Ride return for Alton Towers’ opening day on 15th March 2025.
It’s no mean feat to say the ride has been greatly missed over the past two years with many of those visiting relying on the ride to be able to make their way around the park.
Alton Towers did however provide an increased amount of mobility scooters available for hire from Guest Services upon arrival, but this still didn’t quite compensate for the Sky Ride’s absence given the park’s overall size and varying gradients.
That being said, today’s news fills us full of hope that the Sky Ride could infact make it’s return to the park sooner rather than later.
We will of course keep you all up to date as and when further news becomes available regarding a potential opening date and more so be sure to stay tuned over the coming months as we make our way ever closer to the start of Alton Towers’ 2025 season.
