I know it keeps being said but that airtime hill is just WOW! Looks like they ain't going to trim brake it too much, if anything at all.

The station looks amazing

Also it looks like the lights come on when the ride begins!

Brilliant video!
Really shows how good this ride is! Loving the sound effects and lighting and loving the fact that he looks like he is going to throw up at any minute haha! Also confirms where the on ride photo is and that the inside is still in progress.  However I don't think they will give any of the inside sections secrets away until the opening day...

never been so excited for a rollercoaster in my life, if looks amazing )

Awesome video!!! do you see any headbanging now? haha, well, the bump at the first roll, ok, but fewer than the Laura tobin's run...

Can't wait for this!

I this video before the train passes through the Innoculator and Hypnotiser, you see a flash... I believe this to be the ride camera fully operational!

In the video you can also see the shop glass floor...



Looks like we will be able to see the ride running under our feet - should be awesome!

I had noticed that too but I hope in a way that its dark in the tunnel so you can't be seen.... Unless that's the point in the flasher in the game (yes, Matthew puts hands to face) lol

[Tom_Jephson]

Wow I love the effect of those lights just before you set off! SO excited!

Best video so far.
I love that flash as it begins and with the sound effects.

I think on the right -he's a bit of a big ride virgin but that made it all the more interesting to watch.

I forgot to say a bit erlier back how I really appreciate the framing of the ride (e.g. half way corrected, process complete) It makes you more aware of whats going on in the here and now. Its like when people on TV say the time, the channel, what show it is - just makes you alert to whats suppose to be going on by affirmation of things you mostly already know

Does it still say "Half Way Correcte" at the V.lift?  what about the "D"?

I paused and worked it out, if you look at the bottom right of the picture, it looks like a C at the end of corrected, it's because the elevation of the wall changes and at this point it's over lapped because the next part of wall sticks out, it definitely is a D

lol Ah thats right.(I have CORRECTED that mistake in my post) The D is there its just hidden by the support footer/foundation thing from that camera angle but you will see it on the ride.

I went through the effort of pausing it at the right point so you can juuuuuust see the D

I don't usually bite when people are showing me their D's over the internet but I clicked and yes you can see it there!

At this point in the video you can see how good the landscaping looks and the plants they've planted look really good, real effort show into making not just the ride but the scenery look good as well. Good job Alton Towers!

[danwhit709]

I've never actually seen The Flasher testing.. Is there any footage anywhere?
