First drop looks amazing! Makes me so excited for Gwazi which will esentially be the same thing minus a foot or two but even steeper ?

The Smiler: This is the ride that first got me into theme park enthusiasm and was the first coaster I ever followed from plans thorough construction to opening and the pre-opening hype has still not been matched for me by any other coaster. I'll always have a soft spot for it. SeaWorld Parks...

It didn't take until 2000 for a new thrill ride, Ice Blast opened in 1997 (3 years after the big one). That's not to say that the situation has to be the same now, but the park invests a lot more than most enthusiasts give them credit for. Over the last decade we've seen new attractions in...

Flat rides don't need to start construction anywhere near this early.

There will be a sort of inversion in the backstage part of the layout. Not sure if it will actually be classed as an inversion or not, more like on your side rather than fully upside down.

I remember Flying Dino being pretty horrendous but I can't remember if it surpassed this.

Been down most of today apparently (you can imagine the scenes of chaos). I for one could not have forseen a new Intamin coaster with 5 launches, a drop track and a switch track having issues in the first few days.

MMXX is the 2020 intamin coaster, the waiver is for a 2021 project.

Looks a bit weird but I don't mind it too much.

A different angle:

Don't normally like posting links to video updates, but in this one you can see that what looks like the lift hill has started to go up. Interestingly it is on the other side of the site than on the concept art from the leak. Probably a good move as the lift is now much further away from the...

10 hours now according to the app.

Have fun folks!

Alton Towers are very capable of adding a world class coaster. The original SW8 was going to be substantially larger than Wicker Man however the amount of rock needing to be removed for it blew the budget completely. Hopefully they can revisit the same site in Forbidden Valley as was...

The park needs a new major attraction quickly. They haven't had a good new attraction since 2012 which is quite a long time for what is a decently sized park. Hopefully they stop wasting money on stupid short term investments.

Bit of a consruction update. Going to be a busy few years in this area of the park with the 2020 coaster, Wild Arctic replacement and new Killer Whale experience.

The waiver was just approved.

From the presentation slides last year it seems like it will be taller, faster & longer than InvadR.
