Alton Towers has announced details of the UK's first Rollercoaster Restaurant which will be opening at the theme park in 2016.

Opening in May 2015, the new Rollercoaster Restaurant is set below a vast rollercoaster track where diners can watch as their food orders tackle two gravity defying loop-the-loops before dropping 8 metres down a tornado spiral to their table.

Plans for a new theme park near Llanelli in Wales are to be submitted, with 26 rides including as many as 7 roller coasters.

The theme park on a 20 acre site just off the A484 in Carmarthenshire would join Oakwood Theme Park located in neighbouring Pembrokeshire.

Alton Towers has announced their 2016 opening dates, some teasers about a new ride experience and a 3 year improvement scheme.

Following the previously confirmed return for The Smiler roller coaster, there will be a number of other changes for 2016 at the UK's number 1 theme park.

Plans for LEGOLAND Windsor's new Haunted House attraction have been approved, following a successful appeal against their previously rejected application. It will be similar to Ghost - The Haunted House which was new for 2014 at LEGOLAND Billund, featuring a spooky walkthrough experience and two 10m drop towers.

The new attraction will be located in the area between the Heartlake Express railway track and the footpath from the Coastguard HQ to Atlantis - Submarine Voyage.

Alton Towers has announced that its investigation into the incident on The Smiler on 2nd June 2015 has now finished and the world's first 14 looping roller coaster will reopen on 19th March 2016.

The theme park was closed for five days after the crash in which 16 people were injured, four seriously. When The Smiler reopens it will feature new safety systems.
