The Towers used to be home to Henry Chetwynd-Talbot the 18th Earl of Shrewsbury. Over the years parts of the Towers have been restored and turned into Halloween attractions and some sections have been opened up for guests to walk around and experience. From the roof of the towers, you get the best view of the whole park, looking afar to attractions in Forbidden Valleys and closer to the towers X Sector.
