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

[Ollie]

It's Saw II the ride guys. Sorry to disappoint.
Not long till the track gets moved onto the construction site I assume.

Haha, epic! That would be so stupid and genius at the same time!

 

[Ormerod]

If this ride was based on a horror film that would be the end of coaster enthusiasm.

Please don't be another Eurotrash, they are spreading faster than swineflu.

 

[Swat]

Eurofighter and World first don't go together too well.

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 <img src='http://www.coasterforce.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_censored.gif' />?

>:C

i don't think it's really a eurofighter if it has no 95 degree drop... (and the indoor section isn't tall enough/the dugout large enough for the pullout for it to be indoor) also, the blocks are way too far apart...

it doesn't look like a eurofighter at all... just no.

Nobody answered because nobody knows :lol:

It looks short and low and seems to be reliant on the indoor bit.

Nobody knows anything about the indoor bit, other than "enthusiasts will probably be disappointed".

So, erm, we're all still really waiting to see as stuff is revealed. Personally, I think that the ride through the woods is going to be good fun. It looks like it has a bit of air time and some dives through the trees. A bit like a cross between Cobra (Paultons) and Treetops (Oakwood). That's my base level of hope - with luck, it'll be Intamin and more akin to a mini-megalite.

I'm dubious about the quality of theming due to it being the same team that worked on Saw - but we'll see.

I think the indoor section is probably just something a bit silly,but okay - like the indoor section of Saw.

So, I'm still varying between "meh" and "okay" at the moment in my thoughts

Hang on, if it is a Eurofighter and it's supposed to be this "Saw II", wheres the inversions? I think we can rule out both Saw add ons or Fluch ripoffs.

I'm thinking, (and hoping) people are just taking the piss.

^^Haha I was joking Erol. It's actually Hostel the ride.

 

[silenthillXD]

^ Oh god thats worse! ^^ I am hoping they use the statue on the outside as a basis for the main story, as it seems that it could be quite an interesting idea!

 

[CMonster]

What's a hostel? :?

 

[NickkyG]

What's a hostel? :?

It's a film which relies on blood/gore and underneath it all, not much else.

 

[Screaming Coasters]

No silly, its a place where you go for cheap holidays!!!!!!

 

[CMonster]

So, Saw/Holiday Inn?

 

[Screaming Coasters]

Yes!

Holiday Inn: The Ride.
No refunds.

 

[Smithy]

Could be Premier Inn. Where everything's Premier. But the price. Because if the price was Premier. We'd get a decent ****ing B & M rather than some boring little OH MY GOD IT GOES BACKWARDS sort of gimmick.

 

[CMonster]

So, just to get this straight, a hostel's like a cheap motel?

And Holiday Inn: The Ride=Win

 

[Jools]

What do you people know, it's so blatently going to be Final Destination: The Ride.
