New for 2008, climb
on board Marauder's Mayhem, an explosive mix of rum
barrels and TNT, that is bound to send you into a spin. A barrel of
rum was always bound to set your world spinning, but at Alton Towers
they have taken this theory to a whole new level with a fresh look
for their tea-cup ride, where for the first time you will be able to
choose how much the room spins when under the influence.
Marauder's Mayhem was originally opened in 1986 as the Tea Cup Ride
when it was themed as spinning cups and saucers, where riders chose
the speed of their tea-cup by spinning the wheel in the centre.
Originally located in Aqua Land, the ride has remained in the area
through it's transformation first into Merrie England and now Mutiny
Bay, making it one of the oldest running rides in the park.
