Gangsta Granny: The Ride - Behind the Scenes

Go behind-the-scenes of Gangsta Granny: The Ride, the ground-breaking brand new family attraction coming to Alton Towers Resort that brings to life David Walliams’ most popular children’s novel, Gangsta Granny.
Merlin Creative Lead, John Burton, takes viewers inside the ride during its build and reveals what fans can expect when they join the main characters as they attempt the greatest heist in the history of the world: to steal the Crown Jewels! His tour of the indoor attraction reveals how special effects and cutting-edge animation will provide a thrilling new experience as guests join the main characters Ben and Granny on this first of its kind attraction!
David Walliams, who reveals that he has provided a number of voiceovers for the characters in the attraction, also talks about his close involvement in the new attraction and how he never dreamt his best-selling book would become a ride at the iconic theme park....

[@_czllxm_99]

Yaass 😛😛😛😛

[@mikekaraoke]

This does look really good however, please tell me you will have at least a couple of animatronics??

[@Jason-Clark235]

it probably will have lots of animatronic but spread round the ride. I’m just hoping this wouldn’t be a book ripoff and it does the book justice

[@leeblanchard6434]

Really looking forward to this one, it's been a long time coming. Hopefully Covid restrictions allow this to open 🙏, but safety first 👍

[@yourrandomneighbourhoodche541]

[@staticz0953]

Best ride at towers 😂

[@Stubwood_on_YT]

Exciting stuff, but what about Raj's bouncy bottom burp?

[@stevebozrecreations]

After the devastatingly dissapointing abortion that was Thorpe's "Ghost Train", here's hoping this will be a dark ride done RIGHT, so far it is looking promising.
