Ok, right...... Umm......uhhhhhhhh.....mhmmmmm...... IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!! The way the train looks going threw the inversions is slick, smooth, quick and exciting and I can't bloody wait for more footage of this beast testing!
ALTON TOWERS YOU'VE EARNED YOURSELF A SMILING ADVOCATE BEFORE THE MARMALISATION PROCESS HAS EVEN BEGUN, WELL DONE!
I still have a feeling when the lights were on for that one night, the trains must of been tested.... I'm sure they are just going to release the footage of the trains going around as the official advert of the ride (because let's be honest... It looked pretty badass)..... So we will just have to wait until the advert is released (which will probably be later on this week (BGT i'm looking at you!))

Add on say 30 seconds for the bits cut out. Still leaves about 30 secs for the indoor part and half of the first lift?Tom_Jephson wrote: video is 92 seconds long, yet it has a ride time of 165 seconds... hmmmm #-o
Also, no marmaliser effects running on this?

I really think that the lift is the answer as we only saw the top of the lift hill with the morning show and Alton seem to skip out the start of the lift hill with their video, either that or the indoor section! What a stunning coaster we have here!

I'm sorry how many coincidences do we need with that vertical lift! I'm becoming more and more inclined to think that there is a fall back feature. Why edit it out? Just why?
Edit: also new entrance sign. Again just like the game. I hate to say it but I reckon we will have that rainbow staircase lmao.

Right im using Nemesis94's recreation here to work this out... From leaving the station to the point in the off ride video is 32 seconds. Add on 92 seconds for everything in the off ride video. Thats 124 seconds. The corkscrew and vertical lift hill is another 31 seconds taking us up to 155 seconds. And then obviously the final break run adds another 10 seconds on taking you to roughly 165 seconds.
Obviously using the recreation with the official off ride video isn't entirely accurate but it gives you a good idea. It would also mean if my figures are right... no backwards drop on the vertical lift.

This is just looking more awesome every day! The cars going round the track is exactly what I imagined
My only bone to pick is the new entrance...... is that it? It's a box and a billboard? Doesn't look much compared to the other ride entrances around the park
