A mosque woulda been the BOMB <3.
Yeah, the church is the only thing I like about this ride.
The back of the wing really pisses me off, it looks half finished and gross. The back of the plane hasn't been TOUCHED and looked like it's been perfectly placed on the ground, not crash landed.
The station is all I am impressed with.

A mosque may have been a little elaborate and I like seeing a smashed up church. Divine war or whatever. From what I can tell, this would feel a little like riding griffons outer seats.

Because it's politically incorrect to involve a non-christian place of worship
Also, the whole Revelations Apocalypse thing makes great themeing.

The fact that you see nothing between the wing/center fuselage and the tail assembly speaks volumes to me about the impact of the crash. A "lot" of plane crashes have an intact tail assembly left over. (Lot is figurative, usually either the whole plane is vaporized or intact, with only relatively few instances in between...)
As for why a church instead of a mosque or synagogue?
To offend the most people, of course!

Well my father was an engineer for BaE systems for years, his reasoning is that on an aircraft there are two high structurally integral points, front and rear, they both taper and have little weight stress, no passengers, wings laden with fuel etc, so in a crash situation, these are usually the only two areas of a fuselage left.

Because there aren't many of those in country villages in the UK... Which is the theme.Gazza said:
And they don't convey they whole "end of the world!" image as well. That is afterall the only reason they used a holy building in the first place, it's connotations.

The station is looking great and so is the theming. All this PC nonsense does my head in all the time ...... BTW does anyone know if annual pass holders can go on the opening day, you dont have to buy a ticket or reserve a place or something ???

Update. Trains have been delivered and are underneath the black material on the top left. Don't know how to post pics, so here is a link to the website. The picture is the one on the far right at the top...

I hope you didn't mean this...
(Sorry about this picture, quick screenshot!)
Anyway, it's far too thin to be a wingrider train and to be honest it looks more like a track cover!
Alternatively you could use http://imgur.com, which is free and for anyone to upload!
