Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st
Just got off the phone to Dad. Turns out he attended some seminar thing yesterday... at Alton Towers! He said that SW7 had its own slide in the powerpoint they were shown, but it just listed the bulleted facts that the news articles have published.
He did mention one interesting thing though (which he couldn't remember that much about :fp2
Apparently they said that the new ride will be very much treated as it's own "brand" which would include releasing "a game". Now, what type of game, I have no idea. Board game? Phone app? PC game?
They also mentioned as part of that about there being a branded shop, but obviously didn't let on anything about the world's first element. Now whether they just mentioned it in the same way they would for any of their rides that has an exit shop, or whether it was a hint towards the rumours I don't actually know.
If I'd known in advance that he was going, I'd have better prepared him to take notes/ask questions! hahaha!
