Hmm. Do you think Black Hole will be removed in time for a new attraction to be put in it's place next year ?

We can all hope! Evenmoving something from Thorpe or Chessington to the site would be cool. Like a Breakdance in the dark *drools* 
Seriously though, I reckon Alton will put something in there for either 2007 or 2008, but what and how decent will remain unknown!
It's quite exciting to know we'll have a new something in that tent at some stage! Just hope its decent.

I'm still holding on to the dream of a MoveIt, though as I'll probably never go on it if they do get one I wouldn't be too impressed if it was hidden away in a tent.
There's loads of things they could do with the tent beside rides, it would be fairly well suited to a show of some kind or they could build a fairly large well themed walkthrough in one side leading to a ride in the circular section.

I think rides scu as these would be brilliant. Perhaps having 2 flats in there?
http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%2 ... mzamp.html
or
http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%2 ... oursm.html
Would both be perfect in the tent. I would love the second one to be installed and make it look like you were actually swirling into a black hole! Perhaps having guests wait in a holding area above the ride. Where the floor becomes see through where they see guests spinning upside down.
Then a door opens where they spiral around the outside of the ride to the floor with metal meshing or porthole windows allowing them to look onto the ride. They then board the ride and exit out the same way as the Black Hole tent.
So firstly you spiral up to the top where you are held and watch a pre show which you then see ride through the floor your standing on with lots of flashing lights etc etc. Then you board the ride and on the floor infront of you it would be brilliant to have flame, ice and water effects. Maybe wind effects aswell? You leave the ride to a post show and shop?
Good?

Or, alternatively, go for:
http://www.mack-rides.com/en/products/c ... -Mouse.php
Nice, dark, compact, vertical lift.
It's what the tent was made for, and the capacity is up to 1,000 per hour.
ANd look at the effects Mack can add to the ride:
Indoor, Outdoor capable Vertical Lift system Chain Lift system Spiral-Lift-system, Turntable, Direction Change Various drop sequences Flexible Speed Water Contact

Anything that doesn't just spin around sounds good to me. They literally do make me sick.

Rides do not have to be announced, they shouldnt need to announce anything that is going into the BlackHole tent as it won't need any new planning permissions.

True, so we could see anything going in there? In my opinion we should look to that tent for the 2007 season! Alton wont leave it empty, they cant leave a vital space like that empty. Im guessing maybe a P2P? Im hoping that its a indoor coaster though. Every park needs a dark coaster! But theres not a lot of room in there?
Maybe we should have a well themed flat?

As much as i will miss this ride it's also very exciting to see what happens to the site. I mean if no owner has been found for the ride yet then why are they removing it ? that would say to me that they need the space for something else otherwise they would of probably left it there till they found a buyer.
A new indoor coaster would be great though, something like a Space Mountain, now that would be cool. They have the room to extend the site so i dout there would be any problems getting a larger coaster in. The one thing im dreading though like everyone else is another P2P attraction. What ever happend to that saying "Alton Towers believes in value for money"

It's now coming from several sources that there is nowt special planned for 2007. A thorough park spring clean and update thats all. Anything more than a P2P will require a significant U turn from their plans let alone a major scratching of the heads session to find where the budget comes from. £5 parking anyone or skyride with cycle pedals. . . .decisons,decisons . . . .

:P Well we can all hope!
I think perhaps a cheap second hand flat would do nicely in there? Just with a fiew lights im sure they could fork it up? Perhaps another temporary coaster in there. I thought what would be a possibility. Buying another tent and putting them end on end? As these tents are widely available and dont require to much maintinence.
Its always a possibility to make some more indoor space and im sure it would fit above the enterprise site. Which i would like to see move to Ug Land.
