Alton Towers | Unknown | Unknown Junior Coaster | 2026

I mean the main question right now is why would such a basic-looking coaster require a maintenance building? Very rarely do you get such small-scale coasters with something like that.

Presumably it's just for engineers' comfort when working on the ride. But it does beg the question if there's a secret bonus thing that the plans aren't showing?

It's the washing machine element.
 
Well that layout is something, a helix could definitely have fitted in, looking at maps it does take up much more space than Octonauts so i hope its at least a hilly layout as from the top down it looks disappointing less interesting.

I wanted something like Flying Eagle but alas, with most of the theming on the right side of the train i would hope that the cars could rotate around on the second lap, or something unique happens in the shed if it's not just a maintenance building but im not hopeful that Merlin put the cash in for that.

It's a odd choice so far, but im intrigued on how it will end up.

Having no direction changes is quite good for a junior coaster, in my opinion. It depends on the age range it's aimed at, but the statement made it sound like it's as young as can be, whereas if you have the wild banking and direction changes, it can make it feel more like a family coaster.

That said, the layout is very simple, and I'm wondering if it might possibly be a mild type of spinning coaster. I'm clinging to my theory that Spinball Whizzer may not be in the park for too much longer.

Likewise. When this was announced, I was expecting CBeebies to be expanding onto that plot.

Spinball is a maintenance nightmare.

Also, I really hope this has better capacity than Octonauts and something to take the pressure off other rides in high season.

Any theories on manufacturer?

Looks like the answer here then was "It doesn't"!
