^ I believe so, it's supposed to look like a stone monument/statue according to the plans.

More constuction pictures now online: * With thanks to themeparks-uk I must say, it looks very promising & I like the re-themed waveswinger.

Wasn't too sure where to post this, but thought it was the best topic for it. BPP have announced what is new for 2010:

Well it's official, Legoland Florida to open in 2011: * Information by Orlando Sentinental and Theme Park Review

Maybe they'll just re-theme Rita's shop to make it in to a Thirteen one. Seems the most logical answer to me. Or maybe we'll have one for each; only time will tell.

The next major (Stealth size or bigger) coaster will be installed around 2016 as they have to wait 10 years to build that high. It is also stated in the new MTDP that will be released shortly. Here is a small section of it: I'm sure we will have a new coaster, hopefully B&M before then...

I thougt it was about time to make a Wild Asia topic, as there doesn't seem to be one. Post any thoughts or updates here... I'll start it off: Here is a new picture of the Kobra: * Taken from Chessington's Facebook page.

I prefer the old Paulton's one to be honest...

If Cariba Creek ever became Lego, it would be the worst move Alton/Merlin have ever made. The hotel is a caribbean theme for a reason, making a Lego waterpark would completely defeat the object of both. It's just stupid and Merlin should keep their brands seperate. I hope it never happens...

A post on TowersTimes has stated that it was done by a professional ice sculptor during Tuesday night ready for yesterdays photoshoot. There is evidence of this on this Twitter site: http://twitter.com/JoeBourton It's just a marketing purpose again, but quite a nice one at that! :--D

I have been wondering at that apparent piece of wooded track. I've just realised what it is. It's just those cylinder supports with the wooden beaming around the edge. You can see it from a different angle in the rest of that picture. The snow just makes it harder to see... :)

The latest image of construction, provided from TPM: Doesn't look like too much has happened but there is still time.

It is confirmed by Alton Towers. The updated versions of the brochures/info packs in the hotels show the ride with Sonic logos on it.

When I saw Animagique, I was actually quite disappointed with it however, I may just have been expecting too much. I thought Philharmagic was much better and would be more suited there. Everyone has opinions though...

The report did end up a bit too much in the 2nd person, we'll try a bit less of that next time! cool) You can see next to nothing of Thirteen from the roof of the towers. I looked as hard as possible to find the slightest view but there are just too many trees. The closest you should be...

Never heard of this gameshow or what it is, but I'll give it a go :--D Name: Darren Age: 18 Occupation: Student

The forums are quiet at this time of the year, where everyone is waiting for the new year to be upon us. So, I bring a small trip report of the Santas Sleepover event at the Alton Towers Resort. The day began bright and early at 8am, where I picked up my friends joining me. We conquered snow...

Thanks for organising the trip Peep! I had a good time and enjoyed the company. Sorry I had to leave so early, as I had a birthday to go to that afternoon/evening. Once again, thanks a lot everyone! :--D

The supports are indeed being painted :--D TowersTimes have posted a whole load of photos of the supports being painted: Before: After:
