Marauder's Mayhem is a ride at the British theme park Alton Towers. The ride was installed in 1987, when park expansion was increasing every year. The demolition of an old toilet block left a space in the AquaLand area, and Mack's Tea-Cup ride was installed.

It seems from the design on the ride, that the Merrie England theme was in mind from as early as the mid-eighties. The ride stayed the same for over 20 years, until the area's retheme into Mutiny Bay prompted a different 'look', in the form of an exploding barrels theme.
