Aaaaaaaa, in context with the wooden coaster idea I getcha.
I read that out of context and more just a general it could be as lame a claim as Infusion blah blah blah.....
Honestly though, for once, I actually have faith in the company and their initial claims. I don't know where it is coming from BUT for some reason I do believe it will be a worthwhile world's first. They have said publicly, not just to enthusiasts, that it will be a world's first. So even if it was the worlds first BnM woodie, that wouldn't mean **** to the public. That would be a big faux pas in terms of marketing. Massive in fact. The public are not that ****ing stupid!
Apparently BnM are expected (or even speculated) to announce either their own woodie range or 4d at the IAAPA... Neither of which are worlds first.
Therefore Perhaps it won't be a BnM at all at Alton! I admit I thought it would be, but I could bemassively wrong too. (Remember when everyone was adament that Thorpes new coaster was going to be BnM and it turned out to be Gerstlauer. Regardless of the debatable circumstances, it still ended up as not being a BnM!)
Yes BnM are expected to reveal a new concept coincedentally around the same time AT have announced a new new worlds first coaster. My argument to that would be, Why on earth would BnM launch a new concept in this years IAAPA to then tell people you cant order one though because we have promised some park in the UK the first one in 18 months time. Surely it would be in both companies interests to hold the suspense and have a real shocker to the world.
Furie has said time and time and time again. It is impossible to second guess what is coming. Yet people insist on trying... Alton are extremely well versed in keeping everyone guessing.
Remember Air... Even when it was being built people couldn't work it out because it seemed to mix inverted and sit down coaster. Remember Rita... For months everyone was talking about a booster bike coaster that was going to go in Gloomy Woods themed to broomsticks. Even planning appeared onling and so on. All the while plans were being finalised for Rita. It keeps people guessing and keeps them interested and therefore is good marketing in itself!
IF it truly is a worlds first then whatever it is, is going to be totally different to what we can speculate upon and is also going to be treated with the most fierce secrecy until AT are ready to go to town with the media frenzy they would want and expect.
Edit: Coaster Fiend. That was what I was getting at!!!!!!! It doesnt mean it is a wooden coaster just because Wardley is working on the project.
