It's the end of Walliams World! Alton Towers axes attraction dedicated to comedian's books just five years after its multimillion-pound launch

Alton Towers has closed the World of David Walliams, an attraction dedicated to the comedian's books. The closure occurs just five years after the multimillion-pound launch of the area. Among the shut attractions was the £18 million Gangsta Granny ride. The entire themed world has been shut since Tuesday, although the theme park has provided no specific reason for the decision to axe the attraction so shortly after its significant financial investment.
