Potential Themes for the Project Horizon Indoor Coaster

While Alton Towers is keeping the official theme under wraps, the location in the Forbidden Valley suggests something dark, industrial, or even extraterrestrial. Given the proximity to the Phalanx control zone near Nemesis Reborn, many fans believe Project Horizon will be a continuation of that storyline. Others wonder if we might see a return of a classic concept, reimagined for a modern audience. If you want to be there for every update and teaser reveal, becoming a Merlin Annual Pass holder is the best way to ensure you don't miss a second of the action.

Architectural plans reveal a massive 20-metre high building, which points toward a high-tech indoor coaster similar to those found in major international parks.
