Alton towers have permanently closed the skyride I am very confused as they just refurbished it I am kind of thinking it may be an April fools prank as this is very shocking! I don’t know if any of you know any more I can’t really find much information on it.

Ugh, I normally love WOF but I hate everything they are doing right now

Couldn't they have achieved rain protection without *completely* enclosing the lift? At least leave it open to the inside so you can actually see you're going up a spiral. What's the point of a spiral lift if it's enclosed like this? Visually for riders, now it's just a long (noisy) monotonous curve to the left.
