Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I don't really say these things on the forum. But I am concerned as to how things are going on the SW7 site. Things haven't moved at all for 3 days. 25/08/12 28/08/12 Top picture taken by Rob on the towersstreet forum...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st One thing I have been wondering is why they couldn't use pillar drills to make the foundations instead of making a huge hole. But I pressume it has to do with the type of earth, or maybe the oblivion tunnel. Or maybe, Merlin told them to...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Well I meant 2 to 3 weeks when the track arrives, until they begin putting it up. But for when the track arrives, I do not know.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st If I am correct, they put it in the car park area around where air is. And how long it is on site question, well it depends on many things. But I would say to give it maybe 2 weeks to 3 weeks until it goes up.

Re: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster - Magic Kingdom (WDW) ^You can look on the first page of this forum. There are videos which show it in action, well the prototypes at least.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st My boredom has struck again. Here is a picture I edited on paint as to how I see the inside being in relation to where the public exit section is. Key: Yellow-Markers placed on site. Green-Where I think later markers will be placed on...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I don't recall a inversion underground being done before. Anyway, a question to all. Does anybody know the full story of the Lord of darkness in Oblivion? Is he supposed to be a real man who is working for some sort of organisation, or...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I think they moved the fence back, since the old fence posts are there. I didn't take the photo so I don't know.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st ^The most likely reason why alton don't have a recent B&M, is because B&M create coasters which contain a world's first element in the design of the train. They don't really create mechanically challenging world's firsts as INTAMIN or...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I'm mostly looking forward to see what the horror maze at scarefest has to offer, in other to see what possible hint it could give as to what SW7 could be about, other than a old human test facility.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st If the track exited the other way, it could be possible. But it wouldn't be the same as you drew, in the sense of it being a loop. As mentioned, it would have to have alot of mechanical things to make it be able to do it safely, without...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Here are some recent pictures (NOT TAKEN BY ME) of the site. And judging from the hole and markers, I pressume that part of the ride will be going under the exit of the building. Pictures taken by Rob on Towersstreet forums...

I would like to see a Mack mega coaster here in the UK. To the south would be preferred.

Scorpian at busch gardens tampa for me. I sat at the back row and when the final brake run came, good grief. It felt like somebody punched me in the stomach, and I felt a little whiplash as well.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Looking at another pov of oblivion, that hole is quite deep indeed. And also, what happened to Oblivion's restraints? I've never seen them like that before. Screenshots taken from this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6sAyTFUgzc

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st The hole is much more bigger than I once thought it was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYjQw4jiXsc Video not recorded by me.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st A huge amount of photos. But i'll post a few. Taken from the towerstimes site. Link: http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/sw7/construction/

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I found some footage of the area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnJc_IgTVwU

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Either for a section of the corkscrew or a part of the station building. Well, for there foundations that is.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Well, as you said that hole is for the cobra roll. But it isn't for the station or else people wouldn't be able to go out of the exit of the building. Anyway, I see why that hole has been dug and so it was my mistake. Thanks for pointing...
