An advert of Hex The Ledgend Of The Towers

Hex: an attraction that's a thrilling and chilling experience, whichever way you look at it. A stunning mix of atmospheric build-up, cinema and ride experience that will turn your mind and body inside out.

The ride takes place in the south wing of the Towers. Your journey begins on foot, with a walk through some of the ancient galleries, at the end of the Picture gallery a group of about 80 people are allowed to go into the briefing room. In the briefing room you are told of the legend and the wicked curse placed on the Earl is re-created on screen before you. Next you enter the Octagon, before the actual ride was built this was just a roofless room, not used for hundreds of years, but now after much restoration work it is part of the ride- the lights go off and you are told about the secret vault where the branch was hidden by the Earl.

Next you are asked to enter the secret vault hidden behind the bookcase. As you enter the room, you can feel that something is about to happen to you, which will change your life, you are told to sit down and the safety bar lowers and locks tightly. Something goes wrong, the fallen branch in front of you seems to be giving off some sort of power, charging the room. Slowly you begin to tilt and sway from one side to the other almost like a 'pirate ship ride', the look one the rest of the groups faces makes you shiver, is this really happening to me? The room suddenly spins a full 360 degrees, not just once, but many times. The loud music and mysterious smells add to the experience. Then you are held upside down looking down at the floor which was once below you, you are actually upside down, or are you?
