Nick Varney on The Curse At Alton Manor - Alton Towers (2022)

Фильм және анимация

In September 2022, we sat down with Merlin Entertainments' then CEO Nick Varney for a special interview on the Alton Towers Haunted House. Here Nick shares his view on the ride's fate as Duel and the vision for the new Curse At Alton Manor, as seen in our documentary (here now in full).
You can watch the documentary here:

Nick Varney has since retired from Merlin and The Curse at Alton Manor opened Spring 2023!
Special thanks to Merlin Entertainments, Alton Towers Resort and Nick Varney for very generously giving his time and insight.

    I think they delivered exactly what they set out to do. I just hope Towers can maintain it as the years go by.

    I just went on the ride for the first time a few days ago and it really was everything Nick described here. The effects and story were amazing. And the one thing I really love (apart from it not being an IP ride!🎉) is that, as mentioned in the video, this ride could only ever be in Alton Towers. That’s so special and unique. Just like Hex. Fantastic!

    I did this on the 1st of August and it was incredible! One of the best rides in the park and best uk dark ride

    5:17 That is more or less exactly what happened to Valhalla before the reimagining! Thankfully, that got sorted out, and there is no much closer to its former glory 😁

    I went on it back in the summer. I have to say I thought it was an absolutely load of rubbish. Luckily there was no queue and we just walked straight on. But if I’d of queued for it, I’d of been quite unhappy.

    Why did you think it was rubbish?
