Twirling Toadstool is a ride at the British theme park Alton Towers.
On 16 January 2017 Alton Towers announced that Twirling Toadstool will be temporarily closed as part of the park's Towers Loving Care initiative.
Ride Experience
This ride is made up of 48 hanging seats suspended by chains. When the ride begins, the chairs are lifted several metres off the ground, then they begin to rotate. Once the chairs have been lifted to a certain height, and are rotating fast enough, the chairs are banked as the ride tilts.
