Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 As far as I'm aware it's the central hub of the Marmaliser, the body of the 'Spider'. The black panels around it are LED screens, as shown in the mobile game.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 ^ :lol:

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 From facebook. Sea serpent/roll over erection. And a pretty one.

I've no idea why, but the tiny drop out of Nemesis Inferno's station really gets me. Saw's indoor drop usually works too.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 And interestingly in this vid from before it opened you can see it part grey, part black! (7 mins 52 seconds in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ojniYSI1w

Or the clown coaster that's already there re-themed? I get the impression that the 'new' Taxi ride is also a re-theme of the old lorry ride... New: Old:

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Try the Scanner feature on these two images.... -- :P

I enjoyed it. Yes it has lost a bit of character now that it's not squished in between the Tooley Street arches, but as an overall experience I think the new one is better. Some really nice theming and effects, and Jack the Ripper provides a nice new scare!

Good to see the awful/massive back rests on the boat ride have gone. Should get a bit of a view if you're not in the front row now!

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 ^ I hadn't even noticed the lapbars and car floors, I retract the previous comment! They don't look like they're attached to the car infront though.

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 That concept train almost makes it look possible that the seats could flip forwards/backwards on the horizontal axis.

It will be interesting to see what 'feel' the new Dungeons do put accross. I don't know if any of you have been in the Warwick Castle dungeons since they added the new final scene last year (The Witches of Warwick)? That for me is the best Dungeons show I've ever been in - actually genuinely...

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 For what it's worth, two men from Gerstlauer were in the hotel bar on the evening of the last day of the season. They told us that "Yes it will have lapbars".. Whether they were winding us up or not is another question but they...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st Not sure if this is official or not but either way a nice little teaser... http://vimeo.com/56623975

Re: Those crazy Japs... This fits quite well with the rumour that The Swarm's back row of seats will be reversed for 2013. I really hope not though.

Is this the kind of thing that's planning documents will be online somewhere? I've just had a look on the Pembrokeshire applications site, although had no luck. Not sure exactly what I'm looking for.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st I remember suggesting that X Train as my bet back in January, so it's exciting to see rumours coming back towards them, they look sweeeet! Image in my head now is dual loading in the station with the trains right up close to each other...

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st So if this is true, Alton can technically hold the inversion record FOREVER by just adding another spin to the programme. Very sneaky.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st Has anyone seen this yet? A building of some kind on the site. It's been there a month or so, can be seen from behind Enterprise.

Fire wasn't on today, after asking why I was told they don't use it very often because 'it smells'. FFS
