Alton Towers Evacuates Forbidden Valley After Toilet Fire

A small, contained fire broke out in a toilet facility within the Forbidden Valley area of Alton Towers theme park, prompting a temporary evacuation of that section. Guests were asked to leave Forbidden Valley, affecting rides including Nemesis Reborn, Galactica, Nemesis Sub-Terra, and Toxicator, while other parts of the park remained open. Alton Towers staff quickly extinguished the fire before the fire brigade arrived, and the evacuation lasted about an hour as the cause was investigated. Visitors reported confusion and long queues as they left the affected area, with some expressing concern on social media. The park emphasized that guest safety and wellbeing are the top priorities and thanked visitors for their cooperation. Despite the disruption, the incident was managed swiftly without further escalation.
