Forbidden Valley, also known for the nickname "[[B and M|B&M]] Valley", is home to some of Alton Tower's most popular rollercoasters. Themed around a... valley that's forbidden but isn't actually IN a valley so it makes no sense, it also evokes a post-apocalyptic theme which is basically just rusty junk placed around on the grass and embedded on the ground 'to look' the part.

As much as it tries to campily scream "OooOoo look at me! Aren't I scaaaaary? I'm FORBIDDEN! You shouldn't go neeeeeear meee, oooor elseeee you will Diiiiiieiiiieeeeieeeeeeeeee!", people will still go there. It's like reverse psychology, but stupid.

Demonstrated below, Forbidden Valley has a fetish for [[Huss|HUSS]] flats just as much as Schwarzkopfs and B&Ms. Pinfaris, not so much.

=== Current Rides and Attractions ===

*[[Nemesis]] - B&M's "The Nemesis"? NO.

*[[Galactica]] - [[Air]], but fitted with virtual reality to distract rides from the endless concrete.

*[[Forbidden Sweep]] - The replacement to Ripsaw after it was stolen by [[chav]]s at the end of 2015.

*[[Blade]] - A Huss Swinging Ship with blades attached, to kill any guests who intrude on [[Thunderlooper|Thunderlooper]]'s sacred grave.

=== Former Rides and Attractions ===

*Dynamo - Generic Huss Breakdance, now living in Germany.

*[[Thunderlooper]] - [[Schwarzkopf|Schwarzkopf]] Launched Loop Coaster, now living in Brazil.

*The Beast - Schwarzkopf Jet Star III, removed in preparation for [[Air|Air]].

*[[Ripsaw]] - A Huss [[Top_Spin|Top Spin]] posing as a rusty piece of scrap metal. No theming required. Also a spectator ride in every season and month it's open, technically water torture alongside [[Battle Galleons]].

*[[Air]] - The concrete extroadinaire posing as a [[B and M|B&M]] generic flying coaster.

*'''DEMOTED''' [[The_Beastie|The Beastie]] - Younger brother to The Beast. Which was demoted to Adventure Land before recently being converted into tin cans. A [[Pinfari|Pinfari]]... nothing more to say.

Forbidden Sweep

Lightswitchr:

Forbidden Sweep is a classic example of a <s>overpriced</s> pay-per-use attraction located in [[Forbidden Valley]] which was bought from a Total Wipeout auction.

The player must dodge and jump over two rotating beams for a very generous twenty seconds before the operator turns it up to full speed and cleanly knocks the player over the trees and into the garden lake. Following complaints, the Chinese Pagoda is being fitted with a net in order to catch the players who then gently slide off directly into an Accurist advert.
