COMPOUND at Alton Towers

Description

COMPOUND throws you into a high-tension walk-through where an isolated facility has gone very, very wrong. You’ll move in small groups through tight corridors, storage rooms, and industrial spaces while alarms, flashing lights, and sudden noises keep you on edge. Live performers appear from unexpected angles, sometimes getting uncomfortably close as they herd you deeper into the maze. The route feels disorienting on purpose, with dead ends, blind corners, and moments of near darkness that build suspense. It’s designed for older teens and adults who enjoy intense, actor-led horror experiences rather than gentle spooky fun.
