Re: Alton Towers | SW7 | Unknown (Gestlauer?) World's 1st
Okay, I revoke my previous statement. I'll stop looking as soon as track is on-site instead.
Regarding the spider, one of the themes mentioned in The Sanctuary is fear, correct? Plus Alton's Twitter occasionally mentions fear too, and how the Ministry of Joy will help people overcome these phobias, or "get corrected" as they keep putting it. It's a shot in the dark but lots of people (including myself) are scared of spiders, so that could possibly be how the spider statue ties into it...? Like, the MoJ are forcing us, their patients, to confront our arachnaphobia head-on...and then the 'world's first' element tumble dryer thing is us being wrapped/twirled up with web by the spider?
Just an idea. Probably a very silly idea but still. Either that or they woke up and thought "Spiders. Spiders are cool. Let's piss off the Ropers and make loads of noise erecting a technospider, then we can sell toys and videogames of our awesome technospider. PROFIT".
