Alton Towers has axed the World of David Walliams without explanation, shutting the attraction from Tuesday after just five years in operation. The theme park has given no public reason for the permanent closure, leaving visitors and families blindsided by the sudden announcement.

The attraction was one of Alton Towers' family-focused zones, themed around Walliams' children's books.

No statement on Walliams himself, his controversies, or any commercial factor has been offered by the park.

The closure is permanent, with no suggestion of a replacement attraction being announced.
