The ride itself actually is in a shed behind the towers. The ride simulates being in a room that turns upside down, simulating a paranormal experience. The illusion that is pulled off quite convincingly with some clever technical trickery.

Where does this put guests? Aparrently, restoration works on the towers have uncovered a hidden vault, which holds the fallen oak branch.

Alton Towers
...When a branch does fall, and a family member does die, the Earl becomes very scared, and orders the oak to be chained up, so that no branches can fall, and conducts experiments on the fallen branch in an attempt to break the curse.

The story goes that the Earl of Shrewsbury denied an old beggar some spare change. As a result, the beggar placed a curse on him, that everytime a branch fell on an oak near the towers, a member of his family would die.
