An 'intense and disorientating scare maze', it will be set within an intimidating Phalanx facility featuring dark and claustrophobic environments amongst the hallways and chambers of their labs.

Guests will be 'plunged into a sinister sci-fi experiment where their DNA is the next weapon'. The all-new family scare attraction, Amigos in the Afterlife, will take over the previous site of the Alton Towers Dungeon and invites guests to 'step foot into a vibrant world where the gap between this life and the next is at its thinnest'.
