A Merlin spokesperson told our editor:

"Merlin Entertainments is committed to the ongoing transformation of its theme parks into world class destination resorts, and this includes its four major sites in the UK, including Alton Towers Resort and Thorpe Park. "
"In the last two years alone we’ve seen multimillion-pound investments to both Alton Towers Resort and Thorpe park, including the UK's first suspended top spin ride 'Toxicator' and the UK's tallest and fastest roller coaster Hyperia at Thorpe Park. "
"Following a busy summer period and we head into Autumn, both parks are gearing up for their hugely popular and award-winning autumn events - Scarefest and Fright Nights. We also have exciting plans for new investment to Alton Towers Resort in 2026, and we look forward to sharing more details in the weeks ahead."
COGNEWS looks forward to sharing future developments as soon as they land.
