Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

It is definitely something along the lines of green, but I honestly think it looks fine and suits the area. At least it fits in, rides at Alton Towers often seemed to be slated for their lack of cohesion with their surroundings (a la Rita).
 
Yeah I just can't see the big deal with the station right now. Like, when it comes to Merlin and their investments, there's so much more to moan about. If it's really **** then I'll happily say so down the line. At the moment though, I prefer this 'theme' to Smiler, Thirteen, Rita & Spinball. It's just on the wrong kind of ride :p
 
It's not that bad, kinda what you'd expect the houses in a hidden village of wicker worshiping people to look like? :p

As long as it's themed well inside ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Do you think it looks good then?

Personally I don’t think it has any kind of aesthetics. I’m hoping they’ll add some kind of features to the walls, because it’s pretty bland and uninspired.

Also, the tower it has makes it look like a tesco from the 90’s painted green.

I don't see any issue with the station, it's nothing special by any stretch but fits into the surroundings well and doesn't look 'cheap'.

I do wish they'd stop adding that green mould effect to everything though.
 
Sorry for double posting, but Alton Towers have just posted another video to YouTube:
Um... er... What is this supposed to mean, Towers?
 
SW8 is now being advertised as a "WORLD'S FIRST" on the new short break TV adverts.

You know, we never actually saw what was inside that building.
 
Ahh right, I thought @MakoMania meant one of the short YouTube videos Alton Towers keeps posting. Well from what we have seen, it's obvious it isn't to do with the layout itself. It's either to do with something that goes on in one of the buildings, or the theming structure.

A week today will be the announcement. It is going very slowly.

Oh I do wish they;d **** off with "WORLD FIRST" bollocks marketing, I get that the GP as a whole are thick and it works for them but it's just so ****ing lazy and I'm convinced it's not conducive to providing long-lasting positive results.

Long story short when you push WORLD FIRST it means the next one always has to follow a similar pattern because people always ask "what next".
