Error ¡¡
The sun newspapper confirmed world first element .
And world beating is 14/15 inversions.

New image from AT Twitter:

Ive just noticed there is what looks like the corner of a massive smiler logo on the front of the train.

I don't like the alton towers branding onthe front... Takes away from the orginal :moj theming

I think the eurofighter with otsr are somewhat painful because, being a much more compact rail transitions and inversions are very hard, but being 4x4 is much better suited to transitions and will not be painful.

Anybody want another image?

Arrrrgh beat me! OTSRS?

Edit: Yes it is OTSRS

[AltonTowerfanatic]

but I really like the idea of laps bars after one post I saw saying how great it fits in, the feeling and no safety ect..

[JayJay90]

EDIT: I'm not a fan of the illusions on the back

The picture moves bottom left if you stare at it

It looks like like there is a soft, padded section at the top of the restraint. :moj

Anyone else find the little wheel in the middle directly below the smiler logo quite interesting? I've never seen one of those before - possibly for special effects similar to the seat rotation rails on X2?

Here's my two cents:

Whoever designed that train needs to be shot. I mean, shot right in the face. It looks DREADFUL!

I mean , look at the promotional art! It gives the trains a menacing, experimenting look - as if you are sitting in some lab apparatus. But what do we get instead?
Tacky, (wrong) coloured, basic, not remotely menacing nor actually good looking plain-ass metal.

Artistically, that is probably one of the most horrible looking trains I have ever seen.

That would be the wheel from the other side of the row, just the angle it was taken makes it look as though it was in the middle

We're is that bottom left illusional picture going on the cars?

[lewis97]

No one seems to have mentioned the fact the trains are in a green-screened room... Could this be as part of the TV advert or for other promo images?

Hopefully they grow on us (like the name)...

I really cannot picture in my mind that chunky blocky carriage going around that tight twisted track yet? Not a fan of the style of the train at all.

These trains look really good, not sure on the image on the back of the seats though, love the logo being on the front

... the name was annoying at first, but at least we appreciate it's classic british sarcasm of not being smile-inducing at all. But this?

This won't grow on me at all. I'm the kind of person who has a go at lecturers for writing notes in Comic Sans.
