Join us on a new Expedition Alton Towers as we look at the UK's Space Mountain. The closed Black Hole at Alton Towers. The theme park's second major roller coaster opened in the park in 1984. While it might not seem much on paper, it was one of the most loved roller coasters in the history of the park. A ride which closed to make way for Secret Weapon 7 - The Smiler.
