It should be standard to cover the majority of any queue anywhere in the world. I have no idea why parks don't. Rain and heat protection in one.

I was under the impression the coaster is the aftermath of a natural disaster, so this is getting quite interesting! My mind is now ticking over with potential names for the ride - there are so many terrifying options. :)

Nice.

The minor details are good splicing in some training footage of some artillery guns in.

The end is coming? Oh it's already happened.

Now it's war.

:wink:

I love this!

The "WAR" logo at the end is really professional and well-made. I kinda wish that was the name just so that awesome logo could be used. I doubt it will be the name though, as awesome as it would be.

I know. I'm almost embarrassed for human kind as a whole, so felt the need to add a paragraph or two at the bottom.

Here is the War Logo from the Official Online Marketing Campaign Video.

I hope it is to help to some of you.

Enjoy!

I hope it is not called WAR. Because

A) I want it to be called Armageddon.

B) Its sounds too much like SAW.

C) I don't like the name of the coaster being "WAR". Not that I have any problem with it...like...morally...I just simply dislike it.

It does look very professional though. :) I would have gone with something like Apocalypse, but Drayton snapped that name up little over a decade ago..

I'm still hoping its not an alien invasion theme, I just think the futuristic theme gets outdated fast imo. The aftermath, of the coming of an end of a war between humans I'd rather. I know LC probably doesn't mean anything but I've heard some people say 'Last Call', I like the name but it doesn't seem right when I say it to myself like, 'I wanna go on Last Call next'. But to be honest, by the looks of things, it seems like it's going to be called War from the advert. I'm hoping the trains are army camoflauged colours ;D

It was the building in the background that did it for me. Too old compared to the concept art we have seen in the plans.

LC# is just Thorpe's project tag, much like SW# (secret weapon) is Alton's. Can't remember precisely what it stands for, but it's something like Looping/Lake Coaster. Thorpe's 2015 coaster already has the tag LC15.

I like the name war, fits in with the image I thought the ride was going to be.

Reminds me of fallout so much! :P war... War never changes!

Although can I say to everyone, dont instantly think war is the name, remember surrender in 2010?

I do love that blipvert looks amazing, although the logo reminds me too much of COD, if you waste money on that IP, I would never forgive you! :P

also, its now clear to me thorpe is the source of apocalypse, I mean they have death, pestillence, plague and now, new for 2012; war! The four horseman of the apocalypse are finally in one place!

So they didn't make it lol!
They took gears if war, removed the gears and of, and then added a red dot in the R, strange lol if it is the case.
