Toxicator - Program Beta (Alton Towers)

2026 Toxicator - Program Beta at Alton Towers Toxicator is a top spin ride at Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. It opened on 15 March 2025. It was the first top spin to be built in the UK since Ripsaw in 1997, raised on a 16 ft (4.9 m) platform elevated above a pathway. The ride is located above a pathway connecting Galactica to the rest of Forbidden Valley. Upon the attractions debut, it featured green-illuminated fountains that interact with the ride. The gondola has a maximum height of 78ft, due to a 16ft elevated platform. It is a suspended top spin ride (guests' legs dangle rather than resting on a floor) manufactured by Huss. Alton Towers characterise the ride as the mechanism by which the fictional 'Phalanx' organisation extract saliva from the Nemesis creature using extreme centrifugal forces. The barrels alongside the queue and silos alongside the ride supposedly store Waspirium, the highly corrosive substance extracted from the creature's saliva, which is also represented by the green fountains. The tunnel underneath the platform in which the ride is elevated contains many posters with references to other former and current attractions at the theme park, including Ripsaw #altontowers
