There's something wrong with the essence of that statement :lol:
Again, SW status is not officially confirmed in writing, just confirmed on ATA as much as it is a coaster. Again, no reason for disbelief, the sources are probably good, but not guaranteed...
It was the first Invert in Europe.
I believe it's still the only coaster which doesn't reach the lowest point of the ride until over halfway through (pretty much all other rides drop top to bottom right at the start).
However, I'm happy for somebody to come along with another example of this and prove me wrong

^Question is: What could that be? What does the rest of the world have that Europe doesn't have?
- We can rule out B&M Standup and Intamin Twisted Impulse coaster.
- Aquatrax doesn't really seem like Alton.
- S&S El Loco and Eagle coasters are already confirmed other places.
- 4Ds are also massive. The trains are the size of city buses, and the coasters are tall as buildings. Alton can't build that.
- ZacSpins also require a bit of vertical space. Even halfway submerged, to fit height restrictions, they wouldn't be unique to Europe.
- Tilt Coasters? I don't know whether to facepalm or burst out laughing.
- EDIT: There are no Hybrid coasters in Europe. However, they're hardly more than regular woodies in the eyes of the GP.
This is exciting. The least thing I'd say about Altons 2010 coaster, is that it's predictable.

Alton already has Nemmy, Air, Blivvy and Rita though.
That's 4 big coasters.
Thorpe has Colossucks, Nemmy Inferno, Stealth and will be getting SAW.
That's 4 big coasters.
And when they're trying to promote Thorpe as the thrill capital of England, I think we have a few more years, until they've added more big coasters into Thorpe, to wait. There's no doubt there will be a coaster in 2010. I just think it'll be one of the more family orientated ones.
