I know everything about how bad and disappointing this ride is bound to be, but it's absolutely gorgeous!

I've said all along this will look stunning on location in X-Sector, and it really will. Plus, everyone will be on this so we can all whore the good rides, like 13 and Rita ;)

When you were drawing your "ice cream" on your last video; I thought that that view was actually what you were starting to draw ;-)

Much as I am impressed by how many different ways Alton are photographing the same section of track, does seem about time they added some new bits!

The pictures that AT have posted on Twitter have been brilliant! I have to say that element looks amazing... just pray for some new updates soon. New track pics please!

This. Absolutely.

Unless after all the teasing, this is just a fancy sculpture, and not really a roller coaster.
:wink:

You thought that was an ice cream? My drawing skills are awful, definitely don't have me as a Pictionary partner! ;)

We know it's because there's little else to show as construction has been slow and the only bulk they have up to photograph is that element.

Even so, this element (or double element) is the most exciting part of the ride. It's unique, so they are always going to focus on it. Any other part and it'll just look like Saw.

So yeah, obviously they're going to photograph the swan, not the ugly duckling.

And LOL Pierre :lol:

Within days judging by the weather - probably Tuesday.

I give em huge credit, Alton Towers always comes up with unique rides, and this seems to be another. Excited what the final product will look like.

That Smile Maker is like a fetish piece hahaha. When they used that effect in The Sanctuary it WAS actually an oral gag from a fetish website. The entertainment manager bought it and kept getting suggested links to other fetish items for weeks online hahahah.

Judging by the comments on TT, I think that an aerial update may be in order.
