Well, here are all the hybrid structures.. It's probably gonna be one of these that you are both thinking of. I'll leave it for you to browse!

I was basically thinking any of the above really. I was wondering whether Alton would go so far as to disguise a steel as a woodie or perhaps something more like The Voyage. It's probably a complete mis-thought, but it sprang to mind when I was thinking about how they would get around all the rules they have etc..

I highly doubt they will drag in another B&M. Unless it was a floorless or something of that sort. They practically have everything else. B&M Flier, Dive Machine, Suspended Coaster etc. They are likely to jump on the wooden coaster bandwagon which they've been faffing over for the last few years. Even if it was steel structured like California Screamin' I doubt it would be anything of the size (not height) because even with Corkie gone the park doesn't have all that much space to play with. It wont be very high because of the planning officials and local's moaning as usual. Perhaps they will do what they did with Nemmie and Oblivion and build it partially underground? That would be amazing, walking through Thunder Rock Ralley whilst a semi-wooden coaster rumbles underneath you then you have Rita launching over your head. Whatever they do I hope they pull it off big time. I'm not particularly excited with the Sealife thing, but I'm extremely excited to see what Alton do for their 10th Millenium year. That is the time when they will need a new coaster and I know they wont let us down. They are going to need something good to replace their most classic ride, thats how I KNOW they will pull it off.

I dont think the park will go for B and M again either, for the main fact that the majority of the parks coasters are B and M and i woulnt imagine the park sticking to one manufacture, maybe GCI or something if they are going for wood but if its not a wooden coaster then i could imagine the park going for an Intamin.
As for the Sealife center, i think it will suit mutiny bay very well as mutiny bay is based and themed around an island with water Ect therefore i think the Sealife center would suit this part of the park very well. The Sealife center will also be a good addition for those who dont like rides.
Bring on Sealife and maybe a flat :--D

^Umm... two B&M out of seven running coasters?
How I look forward to the day we safely get to know whather the new ride is an SW or not. If it is, then we might expect something uniques, if not, my best bet is woodie. A Hybrid would be sweet too, as they can be built with more forces due to stronger supports.

furie said:B&M Wood!
Suspended B&M Wood!
With a water splash!
For families
And a launch!
LOL imagine if there was a water splash on an invert, you'd get more soaked than on "Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls".
No but seeing as its an SW it wont be a woodie, plus they wouldnt build a woodie as ug land is very close to the village and i dont think the village would like the sound of rumbling wood. So we have to look forward to a steel coaster thats new and cool. Hopefully something new to europe like a terra coaster, now that would be cool.

I hope they put more effort into the sea-life than Chessington did. Theirs is what looks like a temporary tent.
Aquariums are all exactly the same inside though. Whenever sea-life started preventing you touching the rays and not having interesting things like octopus was when they began to be a complete failure at life and plummet into the realm of boring.
And if these are the thoughts of someone who likes animal attractions a heck of a lot, then what on earth do the majority of people think?
Proper attractions, plz.
