Got an idea of how the Alton Towers Resort may develop over the coming seasons? Discuss it here.

Could not find anything about this anywhere else unless i missed it if i did then sorry.

Whilst on park on monday the 18th in the thirteen queue the people behind me were talking about the black hole dome being refurbished into something to do with Twilight the films.

Now i wasn't all that excited about hearing that and was wondering if anyone could get any information on this.

I hope this is a very false rumour.

A twilight themed ride would belong in dark forest. You always hear people talking cr$p in the queues. Ive heard all sorts such as "they are extending the corkscrew" "oblivion is being made bigger" "a new ride is opening before the year is out"

We can have a ritual ceremony and do it with everyone else!

Oh god, please no, don't let this be true, I think it would be more suited to either a maze or something that suits the x sector, anything twilight related would look really out of place in there. Maybe a corrupt government storyline for a maze would be great, and could really be amped up for scarefest

The Black Hole tent will most likely finally see an attraction within it in 2012. As mentioned at the Th13teen evening, if not then, it will be after SW7.

I am highly optimistic for an attraction in 2012. As for being based around the Twilight Films, well thats certainly the first time that rumour's cropped up. :shock:

Though it is way to early to speculate at the moment, I would take that with a huge pinch of salt. Hints that have been given seem to point towards a family thrill coaster, though obviously nothing on the actual theme.

2012 and a new attraction in the Black Hole tent could coincide with a retheme of X Sector, or at the very least, a major overall of the current theme.

What, like last year's scarefest which featured the film's soundtrack on Nemesis (amongst others).

Before anybody starts panicking (I am too late already really)...

This is not happening, it is just one of many myths/rumours that surround the tent. The likliness of this happening is so low that it is not worth thinking about. At all.

Goes to show how imaginitive the GP are (yes, I know that is stereotypical), coming up with a "[insert gimmicky movie] themed ride" and thinking it would be a good idea. #-o Alton Towers are so much better than resorting to something as low level as that...

People in queues behind you are never right.

There would be a huge backlash against them if they themed an attraction to that franchise, and they are smart enough to know as throwaway fads go, it is a very throwaway fad which will be forgoten soon enough, thankfully.

I personally would not eat an anual pass, I'd just burn who ever was responsible and the attraction itself.

Next time you hear someone behind you, unless it is clear they know what they are on about (and talking about that in general proves they don't), then please disregard it.

whats this?

A new member, saying what is expected to happen in the future of Alton Towers?!

F**k me - its a miracle the messiah is here and twilight will last forever as the most loved book / film franchise ever.

Excuse me if I take this topic as complete and utter bollocks.

:hraaagh: If they go anyway near that film series I blow torch my cat's tail off along with my tongue (since it's in slight pain)!

Surprised that a rumour like this blew up all of a sudden, it is ridiculous to say the least. samx57 if I were you I wouldn't listen to the rubbish that some Towers' visitors come out with :wink: , either they were young children talking rubbish or older visitors with turd for brains and no common sense, coming out with nonsense like that :lol: (I hope so that is, don't build a Twilight attraction Alton [-o< ).

Wasn't copying Diogo :) , first thing that came into my mind was ironically something I loved more than alot of things and was really showing how serious I am about them adding an attaction themed around the nonsense that is the Twilight movies since blowtorching a cat's tail off is not something I would do (especially to my cat :shock:), only in really serious cases that is, like a ride themed to one of the most rediculous films ever made opening in an area that has no relevance to that film franchise at all at our amazing and unique no 1 theme park. Imagine seeing a Twilight themed ride in X-Sector, it would ruin the atmosphere and may result in a total retheme of the area, and who really wants an area like X-Sector
rethemed to Twilight. Pretty sure no one on here does. It is one of the most original areas in the park and to just get rid of that theme only to replace it with the most rediculous theme ever would be a devastating mover from Alton.

Twilight themed ride.. no thanks

Nah, this wont happen. Everyone knows twilight sucks...

Wouldn't suit the theme of X-Sector anyway. I'm hoping for a quality dark coaster to be put in there in 2012!
