Thirteen, Intamin ''psychoaster'' - Alton Towers 2010

[Coaster-Fiend]

Funny it would be to watch all the obsessed AT fanboy faces drop, but it would disappointing for sure.

 

[marc]

I would love it to be good though simply due to the fact I used to love Alton and wants reasons to go back.

Notice the company here.

I see what you mean.

If it is either of them expect long queues.

The Alton fanb websites are going to look a tad silly if they are wrong, seeing the statement was that they could offically say the make.

 

[Enicomb]

Those do look very similar, and as someone said before Gerstlauer seem to be 'in' at the moment.

If it is either of them expect long queues

Why is that? Alton is very good at keeping capacities nice and high.

And who cares if it isn't Intamin, everyone on hear seems to bash the majority of the Intamin coasters we have over hear anyway (Shockwave, Colossus, Stealth...)

 

[marc]

Saw has high queue times and a coaster like Lynet holds even less.

I am one of the few thats likes Colossus, Stealth lol.

 

[SaiyanHajime]

I'm so out of the loop. Someone summarize?

What is the general opinion on this now? Are people being optimistic or does it look like ****?

Two words for you Martyn B, Spinball Whizzer.



I have been in and out of this topic so I don't think I can summarize it all Joey but it has mainly been everyone arguing about who the ride manufacturer is more than anything. That and what the story of the ride will be based on.

 

[Jools]

^ Whole family seconds that notion. :lol:

 

[marc]

I forgot about Spinball Peep as I think I have been on it all of twice as I just can not be bothered queuing an hour for it.

 

[nealbie]

Irony amuses me most, almost as much as the upper-middle class etiquette that Neal presents with each post.

But even that is not as amusing as all the bitching going on in this topic. People please, it's a coaster! Well, actually it's not, at the moment it's a pile of mud with sporadic holes and ditches in it. :roll:

 

[marc]

^Its a construction topic so there is always going to be these types of discussions until we know what it is

Remember the Saw topic I remember some of your comments lol.

Tbh though I have not seen any bitching or anything like that, just people trying to work out what it is.

 

[andrus]

It doesn't look like a mega-lite if your watching the blue prints. I was personally hoping for a 4D coaster. But now it looks more like a eurofighter, and it makes sense since the tussauds group built one at thorpe last year, sad but true.

 

[Coaster-Fiend]

We need some new pics of the site on here, c'on coaster geeks hop to it!

Is that law is it? :wink:

OK. People strongly disagreeing in argument format as to who is/isn't building whatever it is, is polite conversation. Gotcha

 

[marc]

^I blame the Germans lol

 

[nealbie]

That's the spirit!

 

[furie]

Reasons against Gerstlaur.

1. Square supports (like Intamin now use)

That's about it really

 

[nealbie]

See I'd quite like a Gertslauer if it was of a similar ilk to Fluch. As that would create more reasons to laugh at Thorpe and Ollie
