Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st
Just so you know, it was intended as a joke, I was merely referring to the fact that the mud we have been so excited about for the last few months has now been covered up in concrete. Anyway, has anyone else who has been on the sanctuary got any thoughts on the theming?

...Nope, still think it's the worst idea anybody has ever cooked up regarding a planned coaster.
"Come to The Sanctuary and try our NEW marmalisation system: The VOMITRON. The Sanctuary, market leaders in social compliance therapy."

Just had another look at the plans. I surely can't be the only person to notice that the "spider" only has 6 legs. Therefore, any notion that it is supposed to actually be a spider (for an arachnophobia type theme, for example) is surely wrong?

^All that technology and for a simple inversion? Seems a bit crazy and pointless to me...waste of money which could go to something much more interesting. We'll have a 'TH3TEEN' all over again.
As for the spider thing, that's a good point brought up. I myself refer to the object as a 'spider' just as a placeholder for whatever it is. It has some resemblance. Whatever it is, it seems pretty futuristic to me.

Could the spider thing be some sought of virus cell? which would mean the theme would be a deadly virus outbreak possibly? Just an idea...

Despite the fact that this thread should not be 151 pages long already, I must add my bit. That rendering from above looks like it will do wonders for capacity...would be a shame if anything even slightly similar to that was implemented on this coaster.

It's just some kind of sentinel I think. Slayed hit it with the War of the Worlds/Tripods thing. It's a menacing guardian overlooking the crowds being dragged into the experimentation chambers against their will, like cattle to the slaughter.
It's just meant to be imposing...

As much as the current rumour fits, I do hope it's not the case. I personally have always disliked "record breaking" aspects because 95% of the time it involves '1 upping' which annoys me. Usually I find the feat a lot more exciting than the fact this guy has shoved 1 more sword down his throat. It's the fact he has swords down his throat at all which is amazing. That's my 3 pence.

What you say is true, but when did I ever doubt TH3TEEN being a good ride? I really like it too. I was referring to the 'Free Fall Drop' element that was over anticipated/hyped and simply saying that would also be the case if the rendered images above us were showing the actual 'world first' element. Simply put, my point was that it would be the same sense of a worlds first as TH3TEEN, hence the comparison...
