They have two types of track.
The bi-rail, and the box like track (corkscrew etc)

Yes I know but people said they dont have the track thats been shown in the plans. I have not looked at great detail tbh as I wasted far to much time on this coaster already.
I dont think anyone will admit to people if they are building it anyway until Alton give the information.

Vekoma have released a new track style before what is stopping other companies releasing a new track style?
There isn't really is there?
They may not admit it, but I am sure they wouldn't LIE either marc!

Trips'n'Pics have stated that the new coaster will be made by Intamin, no sources on that clame but they are usually right: http://www.trips-n-pics.com/tips/coming ... ltontowers
Sanbrooke is at it again...

To save you watching, he has said the following has came from a very good source but won't name said source.
- SW6 will be a B&M
- Rita is getting a re theme to green
- Intamin Spinner for the Black Hole tent
I don't know how much truth is in this (I myself can't see a lot of truth in it), it could all be true or it could all be a load of bollocks.

- I very, very much doubt the new ride will be B&M. There is no evidence to suggest so.
- The idea of Rita being painted green is rather plausible.
- I doubt they would put two similar spinning coasters in one park. However I could see the possibility of a Intamin Zac-spin coaster going in the Black Hole tent.
But to be quite honest, I think somone is making joke out of poor Shawn Sanbrooke.

Adding two rollercoasters in one year would surely be a marketing fail in that the lose the potential of advertising a new coaster two years in a row..
If this intamin is indeed going to happen, I wouldn't be suprised if it's for 2011, not 2010.

I'm going with Rita retheme - they're flogging of Rita merchandise cheap 
Other than that, the supports and track match - 100% - supports and track for Premier and Mack eMotion coasters. As much as they can do doing direct comparisons based on the plans. It's very regular, very basic supports (due to the bi-rail track not having much support in itself).
Obviously, we'll not know until actual track arrives if it's identical to the plans, but if it's different, the council will have a fit. Where they say footers are going, and the size of them - they have to match the plans.
Vekoma bi-rail track is VERY different to the track in the plans. So it was always a long shot it was going to be Vekoma.
I don't think manufacturer is important anyway - it's the "world's first" bit which really makes the ride. We already know the basic layout pretty much sucks!

Yes, the backwards bit HAS to drop. It enters the station high, leaves low. It has to get down 25 foot or something in a very small space somehow
Logic says, some kind of drop (either tilt, or drop tower kind of drop). It could be a slow elevator though, but I can't see it somehow...

I reckon the track will drop quite quickly horrizontally. And will use lights and moments of darkness to make it seem much bigger.
Can't see it just being a slow lift though.
Also even if Rita does get repainted it won't fit in with the remaining area. It's just plonked down above the path and will be blocking the view of the new coaster behind it, unless you come into the area via the sky ride. Then you should get a good view of the new ride.
