After an initial teaser, Duel closed on 6 September 2022 and its replacement was announced as
The Curse at Alton Manor the following January. Later details revealed that the ride's new premise would revolve around a character named Emily Alton, based on the little
Victorian ghost girl that inhabited a dollhouse in the queue area of both the Haunted House and Duel. A main theme of the ride is that her spirit seeks revenge for being left alone and neglected in the house. As part of the renovation, the laser guns and targets were removed and the ride vehicles restored to six seats. The attraction officially opened to the public on 18 March 2023. ==References==
