Forbidden Valley, also known for the nickname "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 flats just as much as Schwarzkopfs and B&Ms. Pinfaris, not so much.
[edit] Current Rides and Attractions

- Forbidden Sweep - The replacement to Ripsaw after it was stolen by chavs at the end of 2015.
