what were secret weapon one and two as i don't think they ever got made did they ?

Can you please use capital letters and try to make your posts more presentable - furie
 
Secret Weapons 1 and 2 were both planned pipeline coasters but neither were made. 1 was never made due to financial issues. Secret weapon 2 was were the pit idea came from. It was to be themed around a secret weapons facility (hence the name). But then when John Wardley rode a prototype of the pipeline coaster he found it to be slow and energy inefficient. So it was scrapped too.

It then evolved into Nemesis (SW3) and the theme evolved into that of the alien.

Hope that helped :--D

Isn't there a video of the prototype somewhere? Please send me a link if there is one.
 
I've never seen a video of it, I will look sometime though.

I do know that it was an Arrow concept though, if that helps at all :--D

It's probably a spambot, for those very reasons. The mods have been notified.
