Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 I don't think the OTSR in the picture means anything. It's surely just a minor detail added to enforce the notion of the ride inverting.

I managed to get through my entire twenties without one single hangover. I had a big session on the night before my birthday, and really paid the price the next day. I don't think I've felt as ill as that in a long time. I'm really not a keen drinker these days, so maybe I have a lower...

Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1 Just because the concept art features OTSR, it doesn't mean the ride itself will. It's only a conceptual impression, so don't read too much into it. As for the name - hmmm, I'm not 100% keen TBH. I was hoping for something a tad more...

^^That's really exciting news about The Sanctuary. I loved this maze to bits last year. I wonder if it'll be free? (Not that I mind paying)

Very exciting news! According to TowersStreet, Oblivion will receive a much needed repaint and some TLC. The Sanctuary is also set to return for the 2013 season. Good times :)

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st ^Add to that, I do believe they did some work on the trims last year, and the ride is now running marginally better than before. It's still a tad dull, though.

My first drop tower experience was Apocalypse at Drayton Manor. I had done Oblivion many times before and was quite smug that Apocalypse would be tame compared - wrong! I hated the whole affair from the ascent to the drop itself. I came away from the ride shaking and feeling very uneasy. I...

Am I only one that doesn't care much when it comes to park shows and the like? I know they play a major part in the ultimate theme park experience, but I don't have the patience to sit through singing and dancing if there's a top notch B&M within the vicinity.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st I've just seen the latest aerial shot on TTF. It looks like they've started work on the station building now, but the whole area is still quite a way off completion.

Thanks for that. I guess that settles it :)

There are several rumours going around that PA want to do away with Furius Baco. The park are investigating possible(?) health problems and complaints from riders. Assuming this to be true, it'll be interesting to see what PA use as a replacement attraction. Source: PortAventura Noticias

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st Hmm, thinking about it, I wonder if SW7 will hold the title of world's longest inverting roller coaster? Just a thought.

Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1st I love the logo! It actually looks sinister and dystopian...

OK, wait for it....................................Ed Miliband. Please don't hate me, people :oops:

2012 has been the best year ever in terms of theme parks visits. Highlights: Carnival of Screams, The Sanctuary and ToTT (my first ever real scare mazes) Nemesis Sub-Terra (hey, I liked it from the start ;)) Scarefest and the rides in the dark Drayton fireworks and Apocalypse in the dark...
