## Key points

- Alton Towers has permanently closed the World of David Walliams.
- The attraction opened in 2021 and featured four themed rides.
- The park has not confirmed what will happen to the area.

## Summary

Alton Towers has permanently closed the World of David Walliams, ending an attraction developed with the author and HarperCollins Children’s Books. The park says it regularly reviews its attractions, and the closure reflects operational and guest experience considerations; the decision matters because the area had been part of the resort since 2021.

The themed area included Gangsta Granny: The Ride, a 360-degree special effects attraction, Raj’s Bouncy Bottom Burp, Royal Carousel and Flavio’s Fabulous Fandango. Alton Towers has not confirmed what will replace it, saying plans for the area’s future use will be announced once confirmed. Walliams has published more than 40 books, which have sold over 60 million copies worldwide in 55 languages.
