The World of David Walliams opened at Alton Towers in 2021 with attractions including Gangsta Granny: The Ride, the Royal Carousel and Raj's Bouncy Bottom Burp.
The former, which brought to life David Walliams' 2011 book Gangsta Granny, was a dark ride featuring state-of-the-art special effects and cutting-edge animation based on the artwork of Tony Ross.
Walliams rose to fame in the early 2000s, starring in Little Britain alongside Matt Lucas. He later appeared on TV shows including Britain's Got Talent, and sold more than 60 million copies of his children's books worldwide.
Alton Towers has yet to confirm what will replace the World of David Walliams, with further details about the future of the area expected to be announced in due course.
