Hex – the Legend of the Towers, Dark ride in Alton Towers Resort, England
The indoor attraction combines physical effects, optical illusions, and a moving platform that creates sensations of rotation and swinging within a stone vault.
The ride opened in 2000, incorporating elements from a local legend about the 15th Earl of Shrewsbury and a cursed oak tree during the nineteenth century.
British actor Jim Carter narrates the haunting tale throughout the experience, connecting visitors to the regional folklore of Staffordshire through multimedia presentations.
Visitors must measure at least 90 centimeters to enter, and children between 90 and 120 centimeters require adult supervision during the 5-minute experience.
The attraction occupies both the authentic gothic ruins of Alton Towers and a purpose-built vault, featuring an experimental machine that generates mysterious movements.
