Maybe new elements? 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.

I'm stumped. _________________ -Daniel
