Re: New "world's first" coaster at Alton Towers 2013
Th13teen is VERY good in the dark, at the time of year a coaster of its nature and theme is designed for. Consequently, 7 out of 8 months of the season, it's only purpose is to occupy shorter 'thrill-seekers' while the rest of the their group is condemned to Rita.
However, as we've said to death now, it really didn't deliver on the promises we got during its marketing in 2009-10. I was going to say 'it's not a psychoaster' - but as nobody knows what the hell a 'psychoaster' IS, maybe it is - and they're just not especially psychologically trying experiences...
Anyway, it IS to be hoped this mistake's not repeated, and whatever new additions we get in the next few years do exactly what they say on the tin, so to speak.
