I think SW6 is just what Alton Towers needed; a nice traditional sit down roller coaster. It’s something that the park has lacked since the corkscrew’s removal, so it’s a welcome addition in my book. I just hope that the number 13 isn’t scratched into the red box in this photo:

What do these all have in common?
All classed as Family coasters.
We have nothing to fear. The ride is very low and the highest point after the drop is less than half the lift hight. It is also very low. This means it will be fast.
Lift is less steep the Corkscrews and has a large pull out into a shallow drop. This is pointing to a fast lift. Fast lift means more speed.
Agree this is what they need, a sit-down coaster. Here they are getting a sitdown coaster with a hidden secret section and a backwards section. More so, they are getting a ride that ride fans will enjoy, and the kids can come too!
It fits in perfect, Nemesis and Oblivion for the hardcore fearless people, air for people who are not quite so brave, Spinball and RMT for those too scared or small for a big ride and Rita fits in somewhere between air and Spinball, and the is Beastie for little kids. This leaves a gap between air and Rita but is accesable to more people, as Rita blurs the fear factor sits uncomfortable in terms of who will and wont ride it. As it has no tricks like Oblivion and Air, I would say it is below the two, but because of it's launch and size, some people are put off, and the height restriction means some people who would ride it can't. This will have a smaller limit.
Also, as Intamin is confirmed, surely the question mark can be removed from the title?
