So many conflicting reports on Twitter.

I’ve seen reports of the toilets, a skyride station, monorail, some trees, and one of the cafes on fire so far.

My money’s on a dodgy vape torching itself. Probably lit up and then someone tried to extinguish a lithium fire with the sink taps..

Nemmy and Gal are back open now.

Edit: here's a video from the initial evac

Alton Tower confirms 'small fire' broke out in Forbidden Valley - park remains open​

A spokesperson for Alton Towers told us: "Earlier today, a small, contained fire was discovered by a colleague in a toilet facility within the Forbidden Valley area of the Resort.

"Our team quickly put out the fire, and as a precaution, we temporarily evacuated the area while we established the cause.

We’d like to thank our guests for their cooperation. The safety and wellbeing of our guests and team members is always our top priority.”

Nothing serious! Source
