Alton Towers reveals plan for brand new £12.5m 'Project Horizon' attraction
Fans of Alton Towers will be pleased to hear that the popular theme park is set to get a brand new attraction, currently being referred to as 'Project Horizon'. Plans for the new attraction, costing £12.5 million, have been unveiled this week but exactly what the attraction will be has been kept 'top secret'.
This would be along with an additional 11 which are said to be in poor condition. However, the plans indicate that the loss would be 'significantly offset' through new tree planting proposed as part of a landscaping works scheme. The application states: "The design of the new attraction will respect its surroundings both in landscape and heritage terms, and the design approach will seek to meet the expectations of resort guests whilst respecting the heritage of the site and its surroundings including biodiversity and woodland landscape.
Another objector James Green, also of Alton, said: "The visual impact on the surrounding area is unacceptable as the proposed building sits above the tree line as seen from multiple highly sensitive locations such as Toothill, Rainroach, Farley Park, and will almost certainly be visible from view points around Alton Castle, St. Johns church and other points in the Town Head area of Alton.
