** The backstory for the 2024 30th anniversary refurbishment is just as chilling. With the alien creature acting strangely, a mysterious military force locks down the site and conducts a series of experiments on the creature. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LORom5oQKfg latest teaser video]] showcases ''Nemesis'' coming back to life with a more horrifying experience than before...

* ''Oblivion'', which is a coaster that's just as terrifying as the above, along with containing theming that looks like a cross between ''Film/BladeRunner'' and ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]]''. It starts by slowly climbing up the lift hill and turning a corner, then stops over the edge of its first drop, which happens to be ''90 degrees straight down''[[note]] It’s actually only 87 degrees[[/note]]. It hangs there on that edge for about three seconds before diving into a tunnel; but the tunnel is obscured by fog so for all you know, you could be about to slam face-first into the ground or fall into a BottomlessPit. The marketing even claims that at least one car disappeared completely, leaving no trace. Fun, right?

** In January 2024, the rides new name was confirmed to be ''Nemesis: Reborn.'' With the monster now supporting a new red and black colour scheme, the iconic roller coaster will be even nore terrifying then ever before.

* ''The Smiler'' on its own is just as intense as the other coasters in the park with 14 inversions, but the ''real'' creepy stuff about it comes from the marketing for the ride -- which depicts the people riding it being brainwashed and gaining extremely freaky smiles that put them deep into the UnintentionalUncannyValley, such as in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xSz-YiXHRM one of its commercials]]. The "Smile. Always" series goes even further into this theme, depicting Miles Cedars' slow descent into madness as he's tortured and brainwashed by Dr. Kelman.

* ''Duel - The Haunted House Strikes Back,'' was quite the creepy experience, which comes naturally with its HauntedHouse setting. Among the things you see in it include a bust that lurches forward, a giant face opening up to reveal a screaming skeleton face underneath, zombies jumping out everywhere with bright strobes, and plenty of other [[JumpScare jump scares]], especially when you're about to head into the Trommel tunnel then BAM, that gory zombie screams out of nowhere, and the fact that it's a BigLippedAlligatorMoment that has nothing to do with the rest of the scene only adds to the surprise if anything. It also has a [[GiantSpider massive spider]] tilting its head as well as a man who you see flicking the switch who turns out to be a skeleton. You also see three ghosts appear out of nowhere behind a large triple window only to swerve to the right and encounter a groaning zombie with a grossly disfigured face with blood and snot everywhere. In 2023, it was refurbished into the incredibly creepy ''Curse at Alton Manor''.
