Im thinking I may have to stay away from this thread now, as its only a matter of time before we see a photo from inside or some more details are released. Especially now staff are there training.
Dont worry, we wouldn't dream of ruining the surprise! :P It is awesome in there though
I was thinking the adverts could be 'Paranormal Activity' like.. there's this craze about amateur videos now. I think it would be cool if one of the ride hosts were going round the inside (undeground) of Sub-Terra and there's a load roar that's echoed through the 'cave' or whatever and then the hosts start getting worried with their flashlights in hand and then the screen goes all fuzzy black and white and then the screen goes pitched black and then slowly the Nemesis Sub-Terra logo appears.. and then the logo disappears and then the Alton Towers logo appears and the ad ends. That would leave the advert/teaser being a confusing look and people that saw it would want to know more about it and wonder what this 'Nemesis Sub-Terra' is! I love teasers like that. A bit like the SAW ALIVE teaser where 2 people break into the maze, a bit like that but the two people in black are looking through the caves.. Just my ideas, I like to let them out on topics

That's a really good idea:')
I would be so hyped if that happened;)
That's much more than I was expecting from the uniform, and much closer to what I had hoped for Can not say a bad word about it!
I imagine it won't be long until people start 'losing' the hats though :P
It does look rather warm for those poor staff though! When I worked at Towers, I'd always end up wearing the bare minimum required uniform, it's tiring work that keeps you warm enough in itself!
If they had supplied us with red and black briefs, I'd have quite happily worked in just those during the summer.

Pretty certain they're wearing all that cos it's cold right now? .
In any case, I cant imagine much tiring work on that ride? Entrance, Merge, Baggage, some indoor positions?
Let's not get shirty, especially so close to season opening.
I'm excited now; this is their most mysterious attraction to date. Little over 8 days remain and I have no clue what to expect from this apart from it'll be mind-bogglingly good.
I would just love to see the pre/post shows and of course those all important effects in the drop towers section itself.
Is there any mention of the capacity of the ride? Also, I remember an interview with John Wardley after 13 had opened. He discussed how they designed 13 to include a decent throughput of the ride and how successful it has been, even performing better than expected. Do you think this concept will have been taken into consideration with regards to Terry? Or do you think with this kind of attraction, queues will be impossible to tame?
Really getting the itch now. I've been trying to arrange a date to go to Alton with my friends but no success yet. I wish they were as excited as I am. I'm 29 years old and Alton Towers is a magical gateway into my inner child, pathetic really
Very few know what it will be like, we will just have to wait. It will have a fairly decent throughput as the park will know that big queues just cause complaints.
