I'm just curious... do the transfer tracks have the 'stopper' on them, or is this for the reverse section?
I'm even more excited about this than i can already be. lol

That track looks like Intamin. If it was B&M it would be thicker. What car park was it in?

^The track is Intamin, it's been confirmed that it's Intamin building the ride.

Interesting observation - the track looks very similar but not sure if SW6 has intended water elements? I think this will be a more one off build hopefully with some unique elements not seen before.
Can't wait for my next visit to Alton Towers end of October to check out construction.

Didn't construction go vertical on this thing, like...a week ago?

It's looking incredibly similar to the Intamin spinner at Bakken...except Alton already has a spinner.
I'm stumped.

^ I believe they've said that removing Spinball Whizzer is part of the long-term plan.
But still, I doubt it's a spinner.
