the announcement that Alton made through the RCCGB
That happened BEFORE Merlin took over...
Not to say the original SW6 could still see light of day, but I doubt it much...
No to a Baco, what Ben said I fully agree...
UC is also right in that people rarely seem to think logically when rumours about new coasters come about, or indeed with ANY new rides...
I look at the Chessie advice topic and shake my head sometimes at the silliness of some of the ideas I see as they wouldn't suit the park...
Different ride types which are essentially the same WOULDN'T WORK!!!
I'd love a wooden coaster yes, but if it's not cost-effective for the park and alternatives are looked at and chosen above it, then so be it...
I'd rather see Alton stay open than fritter money away and die...
