I'm not sure if the track has been re-painted but the trains definately have, but they still need to completely revamp the whole area anyway.

This has nearly hit 100 pages, yet we haven't seen a single footer!? :?
I'm pretty excited for this, I'm just worried it's going to become over-hyped like with Saw: The Ride, and end up a disappointment. At the end of the day, Alton Towers needs something new, fresh and thrilling to bring them back up, they've been going down-hill since the construstion of AIR, I've simply lost hope for the park. But at the end of the day, they're making their money, and the 'magic' is still there (Nemesis, Oblivion, Runaway Mine Train etc.), they just need to bring some fresh magic into the Towers, and heres hoping this is the answer.

With the amount of ground work needed to be done, are they not behind schedule yet?

The Swarm's groundworks were starting around july. This coaster won't have to have so deep footers on some parts compared to The Swarm, since it is a lighter type than a B&M. They have plenty of time. And about the comment of overhyping like Saw:The ride, don't you mean Th13teen. I thought Saw:The ride had great feedback.

Saw did get excellent feedback when it opened, it's only dissapointment was when it broke down and closed on opening weekend. Th13teen received pretty much negative reveiws. Hopefully Alton has learned not to overhype a attraction that might not live up to it like they have done with TH13TEEN and n:st. 3rd Time lucky :--D

Just a question and im sorry if this has already been asked. The toilet blocks that are around that area, are they going to be removed due to SW7?

If it is going around them I would imagine they would built new ones.

That is interesting I thought they would replace them.

Why go to the expense when they're perfectly fine as they are?

They might re-fit them or even theme them if we're lucky, but the building will stay. It make sense really, moving toilets isn't as easy as some other buildings due to the amount of plumbing needed to be done and new channels to sewers etc.

Exactly. Plus, this is Merlin. Why go to the extra expense?
