It is the biggest single investment on a ride at any Merlin Entertainments-owned tourist attraction in the UK.
Building work is continuing on the site of the new ride ahead of its opening to the public on March 16.
Now designers have revealed elements of the new rollercoaster, which officials hope will become as iconic as the existing Air, Oblivion and Rita rides.
The new ride will have:
A top speed of 85 kilometres-per-hour – 10kph faster than Air;
A highest drop of 30metres ;
A track length of 1,170 metres –three times the length of Oblivion;
A ride time of 165 seconds – three times longer than Rita;
A capacity of 64 passengers on each ride.
"It is the biggest rollercoaster we have ever done at Alton Towers and it is not for the faint-hearted."
But theme park officials are still refusing to reveal what will make the ride a 'world's first'.
