Alton Towers Permanently Closes World of David Walliams

November 3, 2026 · 2 sources

Alton Towers just shut down its entire World of David Walliams attraction for good. The zone opened in twenty twenty-one with rides like Gangsta Granny and Raj's Bouncy Bottom Burp. Merlin Entertainments blamed regular park reviews for the sudden closure. One source connects the timing to recent misconduct allegations against the author. His publisher HarperCollins previously dropped him and halted his book catalog. Walliams strongly denied any wrongdoing after those accusations came to light. His former agency YMU also ended their commercial relationship with him. Walliams famously sold over sixty million children's book copies worldwide. The theme park says guests should check their website for the latest updates.
