Hey everyone, Decided to go to Alton Towers with the family for the first day of scarefest. Here are a few pics of SW6 to look at that you might enjoy.
As you can see, the lift is fully complete and the majority of the first drop is now complete aswell. I have to say, it does look alot bigger in person than the pictures seem.
The drop seems relatively steep aswell so it could be a great ride.
The station is very impressive. I can give my two cents on the situation as well. Firstly if you look up to the top floor of the steel structure you can see where the track goes. (you won't be able to see this in the pics unforunately) There is a distinct area on the top floor which would be perfect for a track to either pivot or drop through. Not only this, but on the roof of the steel structure there is a much smaller gap. Now this can be for a few reasons. Its either going to be a roof light or area for plant. Or it can possibly be where the end of the track pivots in to! Also, the large concrete hole at the bottom is definitely not the same size as the whole for the track, however it did seem roughly the same size as the hole in the roof. But that could be merely coincidence. If non of you understand what I mean I will make a diagram explaining my theory.
They also had a few live actors promoting the ride walking around ugland. They were great, they seemed to like walking slowly behind people to freak them out.
