Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st Is that wiggly bit just to the left of the brown box on the plan the path down to the base of the pit? Doesn't look like very easy access if so...

You have to wait 24 hours or more to unlock each level later in the game. You can pay to unlock the levels instantly. I prefer to activate all the levels at once and then just play them the next day.

Game is pretty slick but it's not precise enough to make anything fantastic. If they make a big pc game in this stle it will be fantastic. Only a couple of levels in but having fun.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st Oblivion: Black Saw: Black Thirteen: Black Swarm: Black SW7: Black It's actually slightly blue according to Photoshop, but it's dark enough for me to consider it black. Yawn. Would be interesting if "lap 2" had a different colour track...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st What if it has back-to-back seating (Spinball Whizzer without the spinning). Then at the halfway point the ride spins and reverses you? One half forwards, one half backwards.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Isn't the station building further back towards the trees? http://www.thealtontowersguide.com/communities/4/004/008/270/274/images/4560929232.swf Edit: Scrap that, just noticed the lowest part of track is still above the station...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st The interlocked cobra part is the lowest section of the ride. I presume the hole being dug is to make room for that?

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I know this has been covered quite a lot, but why did they not simply set the track type to Eurofighter (if that's the style this is) before exporting it?

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st The first page! http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/PA ... story.html "We are going to be working extremely hard to make sure this ride is the only one of its kind in the world." Not explicitly 'world first'. Sounds more like they're...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st It's replacing Duel and all the trains are equipped with laser guns and the objective is to shoot the other car... I'm sold.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I must say, Saw is my favourite ride in the country. I find B&M seats a bit comfier, but the Eurofighter seats are a million miles comfier than Intamin. Saw is perfectly smooth at all times except perhaps at the bottom of the drop where...

I fail to see how this is that bad a ride. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's about the same height as Detonator, which isn't too bad. So it's like a themed Detonator with angry men shouting at you? What's to hate?

Just got back from Thorpe. The Swarm was OK. That's about as far as I'm willing to go, although I only sat towards the front and the back is supposedly substantially better. The whole thing feels slow motion and rather dull, I wasn't aware of any near misses and even the gap underneath the...

I can't help feeling that the only impressive part of this ride will be the drop. Apart from that it will probably look more impressive to watch going round than it feels riding it? How much more theming is to be added? It all looks terribly bare from the videos/pictures I've seen. I think I'm...

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the video is quite funny. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... mp-in.html

Re: The Swarm - B&M 'Wing-Rider', Thorpe Park 2012 Was having a bit of trouble actually placing the coaster in the park and judging the size of it. Not sure if anyone else was struggling with this, but I overlayed the plan above onto a map of the park so you can get a better idea. Image attached.

Interestingly, the shot at 1:26 is mirrored (X No Way Out is on the wrong side, and the first drop curves the wrong way). Video editors can do strange things sometimes!

I just came back from Alton, and gave Thirteen two shots. The first time i thought it was pretty dull, and the drop was very slow, i got off feeling pretty dissapointed. When i rode it later, for some reason i was put into the very front seat (queued in the standard queue and there was a...

I'm there on the 16th too! Snap!

No real visual update i'm afraid. As i'm slipping into a good routine with work i'm finding more time to work with the game which makes me happier. While i was previously developing the game in Clickteam's Multimedia Fusion i've switched to C# now which gives it Xbox potential, but the Xbox...
