If anyone thinks its a different manufactorer now, they must be an utter idiot

OHMAHHHGERRRDD I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW IT!!!! IT A B&M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well any doubters should now be 100% clear of the manufacturer.

Do you think the contract between Alton and Gerstlauer states Shipping container, to be supplied by Merlin Entertainments

Loads of new images uploaded to our SW7 mini site - http://www.towerstimes.co.uk/sw7/

Well seeing how nice them black supports look I am so hoping that Oblivion,Submission&Enterprize get painted to match.

if i remember from the planing app that the black on this is the same as on Oblivion and +1 to repaint and clean up

I was paying attention to SAW at Thorpe Park the day after I saw the track at AT and it looks identical in colour to me. Totally pitch black.

I am back on park in Alton Towers today so I'll have another look. I'll be leaving in about 15 minutes and should be on park around midday.

whats the point in getting there at midday?? Thats 2 hours ride time missed!!!

I normally arrive at 8:45 as I have a premium annual pass so I get ERT but since I'll be here till 9 tonight I don't think I could cope walking around for 12 hours.

^ same.

& oo it's getting very exciting now, will have to try have a look out when I go on sunday for the fireworks

Is there ERT this weekend when fireworks on as hotel are saying that they are dishing out fastrack tickets instead.

Where is the track laid at the moment which car park?  Is is fenced off or can you go and give it a cuddle?(not sure what the fetish is called).

Some construction photos from Today.

This track is dangerous and needs to be kept away from the other track.
