World's first epilepsy warning coaster?
Those spikes seem interesting. It's nice that they're trying to make this coaster look scary.
To be fair, if you put a coaster next to Oblivion, marketing it as 'thrilling' would be out of place since Oblivion is the physical manifestation of fear (cough ignoring Nemesis).

Trippy. Phsycotic madness is completely in stark contrast to Oblivion's clean, clinical demeanor.
THC selectively targets and destroys tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unscathed. Conventional chemotherapy drugs, by contrast, are highly toxic; they indiscriminately damage the brain and body.

Today i was on the park speaking to a ride operator and i was talking about how i was coming back for scare fest and i was looking forward to the scare mazes and he said a few interesting things, most of them were covered in the press release about the sanctuary, but there was one line that really stuck with me.
He said it will be about the ministry of joy and their experiments and that ''if you don't smile, bad things will happen''
I just wondered if something like that could carry across into the ride.
Of course, the ride operator could have just been guessing or making things up.

If it truly is a "World Beating" coaster, surely there's only a limited number of things it could be. i.e Inversions, Speed, depth/height(not likely), length.
Other than that it could just be marketing crap again. If they mean world beating as in scariest, physiological etc. I'll be mightily pissed off if that's the case.

Ok so basically, Iv been a member on here for years but I hardly ever post unless I think I have something interesting to say. I know there are hundreds of fake claims made on fresh accounts by excitable teenagers but basically I know for certain what the secret is about this ride. But I am presented with the following issues:
Do people actually want to know?
The way I found this out will be difficult to explain with out singling out a single person and risking getting them in trouble, so if I was to tell you then I would have to not say publicly how I found this out but I am happy to explain this privately to the towerstimes team so they can confirm the claims I make are true.
Thirdly, where would I post it? Here? Another topic or in spoiler format, explain please.

To be honest, I don't really want to know because i want it to be a surprise. When N:ST came out I was there on opening day but I didnt know what happened inside (apart from the drop) and I liked the surprise. PLEASE DO NOT SAY UNTIL WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE OPENING.

You could spoiler it, but then you'd know what all the Phsycodelic faces painted around the place mean, and that would be dull.

spin_doctor don't do it! If someone could get into trouble for telling you and you telling us (especially if it's their Job that's in danger) then don't post the information. I'm sure people would want to know, me included, but it's not worth it.
Also I've seen you post before and so can vouch that you probably aren't winding us up

Im surprised that so many people are ok with not knowing.
I dont want to get anyone in trouble Nightfall your right. However, stating what the worlds first is without specifying how I know will make it nearly impossible for anyone to guess who is responsible. Its just difficult to get people to believe me without explaining how I know
To get you all a little excited though, Its quite surprising. Well I was surprised anyway.

Well that's good to hear. I’ve been getting tired of all these suggestions of most inversions as it’s such a lame record that’s fairly irrelevant and normally comes at the expense of a great ride.
I hope no one thinks I'm a kill joy for telling you to keep it secret but the trouble with releasing such information is that when something this big gets out the park take it very seriously and start asking questions. I've heard a few stories of people getting in trouble before because they've told a friend who's told a friend who's told... you get the idea. Plus if it is the actual main secret the chances are the park will get the information removed as soon as it's posted. When Th13teen's name was accidently revealed a day early they contacted every website with the news forcing them to remove it and requested no one discussed it either. All this and it was still announced the very next day.
Talk to the Team and they’ll give a good recommendation on what to do.

In all fairness, whether or not there are people on here that want to know, I don't think anything should be disclosed, only. Day or two ago people were dating how great it was to not know anything about the main workings of this new project, lets enjoy not knowing until the towers want to tell us, or let us find out.
Lets go back to 1997 where no one knew what was happening, the enjoyment!!!!!

So the general consesus is, that nobody wants to know. Fair enough Probably for the best anyway, my revealing it would probably raise more questions than it answered anyway as I dont know all the fine details. I cant wait for this to be finished.

well then, would you at least be able to say if you think anyone will be disappointed given the speculation people have been posting so far?
