Mark Kerrigan, the Resort Development Director, said:
This development will assist in underlining our status as a short break destination and it will be open year round alongside the hotels, water park, spa and conference centre, forming a unique experience for the guests who already stay overnight with us.
It has been sensitively designed to ensure it will not detrimentally impact the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape and will complement the new enchanted village lodge development as the course will lead adventurers around the woodland adjacent to it.
The Enchanted Village Tree Top Quest will see visitors suspended up to 13 metres in the air as they walk or swing over platforms and bridges, returning to earth on zip wires. It hopes 300 visitors will use the attraction every day.
Work continues at Alton Towers on the construction of 122 Woodland Lodges and 10 Luxury Treehouses in a 'fairytale' Enchanted Village to the north of the Alton Towers Hotel, Splash Landings Hotel and Alton Towers Waterpark.
