It's widely believed to be a Zamperla. I guess we will have to wait and find out.

Looks like an figure of 8 with banked turns to me, can't really tell from that picture, if Sonics open at February half term ( which it might be, has been before) we may get a closer look!

We've posted a few more details in our news article.

I'm actually rather excited about this, sure it's not a thrill ride and I'll only bother with it once or twice - but it looks to be a nice solid addition with some thought going into the presentation of it.

I'd have to agree adz, this ride really has had thoight and detail put into it, it would seem! Cant wait to try it out and see the outcome of theming :)

I expect you'll be able to see quite abit from the ground, I'd also think you'd get a good view from the get set go tree top adventure formally nutty squirrel :P

Sonic Spinball is indeed open during February Half Term as is Get Set Go so there should be plenty of opportunity for photos of this.

Depending on how the park advertises this, it could pull some hefty queues. CBeebies Land overall was still more or less an hour for most things towards the end of the season last year.

I mentioned this earlier. I believe it is a mistake made by RCDB.

Idk whether this is relevant but if you take the initials of Octanaughts Roller Coaster Adventure it spells ORCA. Coincidence?

An orca is another name for a whale, which is one of the theming elements of the ride and storyline so that sounds like a good reason to me :)

Possibly orca theme, adventure to find orcas http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wTM-tJorzeQ/hqdefault.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; just got told about octonauts by my little cousin and it sounds like they do underwater missions, and once the got trapped in a whale... Could this whale be key to the story?

Course it is, it's the main focus in the promotional pics behind the the coaster train :) I'd suspect heavily themed towards whales and under sea creatures with interactive features
