Knew I should have said this earlier...
FOR THE GMTV THING PUT ANY POSTS MENTIONING IT IN SPOILER TAGS SO THAT THOSE WHO DIDN'T WATCH IT FOR THE REASON OF NOT WANTING TO KNOW (although impossible these days) DON'T HAVE TO READ IT ON HERE
Thankyou...

Hmm, just seen the video on the website.
When it's fully landscaped and themed, I'm sure the whole experince will be better.
Although the ride does look boring, I'm hoping it'll be exciting to ride. Most rides do look boring on video, it's the actual ride that counts.
I'm going to withhold judgement until I've ridden it but that video has confirmed that I'm not fussed about running to ride it first.
As for the worlds first element, it's nice concept but again, it needs to themed properly to be well excecuted.
I think Thirteen looks like an "experince coaster" rather than a tense, thrilling and exciting one, similar to X:\NWO.

Maybe there is a screen in front of you on the worlds first part....something appears to light up in the vid, unless that is just the camera adjusting to the light.
TBH, the drop itself does look to give a decent bit of air, but for all the expense they went to it with it, it would've been nice to use it for more than a few seconds.
Only a small thing, but its impressive how quickly it is able to reverse out after reaching the bottom...some coasters with moving tracks seem to take ages to align themselves.
Overall, it looks pretty fun....not a thrill ride obviously, but it still looks entertaining.

Just watched the video as well. Glad I didn't get up at 6am to watch that tiny thing. The ride does look boring and disappointing. But luckily I was told early on before construction not to expect much from it from someone who was working on it so I was trying not to get excited and it proves to have paid off.
I'm glad they covered the helix though. That might be quite fun.

hmm... I've been defending this thing for a long time now, at the same time I've tried very hard not to get my expectations up...but even so, that is a major let down.
The outside part of the ride looks ok, apart from the fact that it opens in 3 days time and still looks like a building site, but the inside section looks so poor, basic and uninspiring.

Not sure if the American viewers can get on the GMTV website. But the video's on Youtube if you want to see it.
Remember it contains spoilers.

Still don't know if you'll get even slight airtime in the back over the first drop though. The whole ride looks kinda force-less.
