Those trains look absolutely stunning, might be one of my favourites ever. The theming so far looks great already and the station doesn't even have turf over it yet. Really excited for this.

How fast would the rotation be? Just curious as to how something like this would work, in terms of redundancy measures. Would it have magnetic brakes on part of the rotating element to ensure it doesn't slam into the track below if something were to go wrong? Or would the points of rotation have...

People who behave like that on twitter are insufferable ngl. I think I'll just wait for an announcement if there ever is one.

Yikes, not a great look, is it. To echo what has been mentioned already, great to be interacting with fans, but it makes her look a little foolish when she makes public posts like this online. I can get her viewpoint but this just comes across as stroppy and disorganised to me.

Yeah I reckon you're right and that we'll see some of the old characters/motifs pop up again eg. the floating violin etc.

^ I was hesitant at first too, but I think paired with the soundtrack, it'll feel like the ride system is 'dancing' with the surroundings, and I think that could be something really special. The piece of music sort of lends itself to something like this, at least in my opinion.

New paint is all good but will still look a mess on the water feature and landscaping they ruined with concrete. It's a shame, if they replaced the trains (even if it means losing a car on each), painted the coaster/area up, landscaped and peppered some theming in, it would actually look decent...

I guess if they really want to keep to the Walliams brand, ride attendants could shout various slurs to families and children exiting each attraction? Probably cheaper than ditching the entire theme, plus it would add a bit of spice to the area I reckon.

I mean, haven't we known he was a bit of an arse even before the area at Alton Towers was built? To echo what others have already said, I doubt this will have an impact unless more sinister allegations emerge.

I haven't seen any for the actual layout. I did see one bit of concept art, and I guess it might be for the dueling coaster station, but I could be wrong there. Might have been posted here already though...

Very much doubt it. I'll happily eat my words when the time comes but I think perhaps some goons are looking too much into it?

Seeing that track and the LSMs just makes me sad we're not seeing a full-on Blitz Coaster tbh. Still, I'm intrigued as to how they're going to execute this.

Does the rapids look absolutely terrifying or is it just me?

This is well known and very true, although my point was more that B&M coasters don't necessarily have a higher throughput just because they're simply made my B&M. I still, in my opinion, find B&M an odd choice for this size of coaster. Track size just looks a little unusual given the height, in...

Other manufacturers build high-capacity coasters though? Surely it's all down to track layout, number of seats per train, and number of trains able to run on the layout, as well as other things such as ease of loading/restraints. I also find it odd that B&M were chosen. I just assume they got a...

This! Glad somebody understood what I'm trying to get at. I think it'll look cool, but I just fear it might loose it's grandeur when there's a coaster next to it that is seemingly taller than it.

I'm sure it does, I'm talking more about the height when compared to the supports of the coaster. For some reason I assume the theming structure would be slightly taller than the coaster's helix.

Statue looks quite small compared to the coaster, or is it just me? Kind of takes away a bit of the drama, but excited to see this progress nonetheless.

Looks like, if the sketch is somewhat accurate, that you'll go into a show building forwards and reverse-launch out, or the other way around? Could be cute! Perhaps a Gerst like Firechaser Express, or perhaps something cheaper I reckon.

I always think of those Togo torture devices as Heartline coasters, but maybe I just played too much RCT as a child! When I think of the Pipeline coaster, I'm picturing the Arrow model that never came to be (Secret Weapon 2 and that stuff we all know) I agree though, Pipeline- The Surf Coaster...
