Alton Towers Discussion Thread

[australianalexA village is missing its IDIOT!]

This is a little frightening, especially considering I was on this Rita only a month ago.

Cue an endless amount of Intamin Cable jokes in 3, 2, 1...

If they switched to Directv they wouldn't have had that problem.
Just glad no one was hurt.

The site has progressed well, with deep holes appearing around. The station area is the most interesting.

Oh SNAP!

In other news, glad to hear that work on SW7 is coming along nicely. Might need to give this one a visit in 2014 (2013 is already booked up.)

New scaremaze for the towers it seems. The Boiler House to be replaced by The Sancutary....... all it seems linked in to SW7 !!

plus new photos of the SW7 site www.Clusterfarce.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30089&start=1526

Alton do love their holes !!!

[SLUSHIEIt's hot outside, and I have a headache]

So is this going to be somewhat of a dueling coaster, but single track? I looks as if its going to be launched for the 1st half, then a vertical lift and then dual with another train that would have been launched for the 2nd half. Either way it looks like its going to be pretty impressive. Can't wait to see the interlocking cobra roll and pretzel.

Oh NM I guess the first part is a normal lift.

The first thing that kinda came to mind when looking at this ride was Battlestar Gallactica as Universal Singapore. After realizing that's by Vekoma, nobody wants that. It does look to be a maurer sohne and I guess that's ok.

To think of the power that cable has wielded... Yet it looks rather limp and unintimidating now.

I'm not sure about power, I've had burps more powerful than Rita's launch

The SW7 site has progressed well indeed, with the hole getting deeper and wider day by day. Unfortunately the hole is flooded abit by the pipe on the side. Hopefully it's not from the toilets near by.
