Not sure if every region sees the ad but as the park don't  have no clue when the ride gonna open. The normal GP don't know that the ride not open after watching that ad as they not fans of theme park websites. It's false advertising and Thorpe Park got done for it when they advertised Vortex new for 2001 and it wasn't even on site yet.

Do you have any idea how expensive media bookings are?? If they cancel the booking you are looking a lot of wasted funds....much rather they advertised the ride than waste money. It isn't false advertising as they have not depicted a date which the ride is open. The ride still exists which isn't open yet...you see brands pre advertise products months before they are on sale pretty much the same concept. Don't forgot the majority of viewers are not gonna jump into their cars and go to alton towers the next day, most visitors will plan a date a view weeks in advance in which hopefully the ride will be open. If not then Alton Towers will have a problem for 'false advertising'

Unless just before u go back  into the station there is a secret freefall drop to another level where there is a washing machine, then there is a special section of track that lifts the train back up just before you go back into the main building so no one sees anything....
Now there is you're secret element and worlds first.....

I though they had a free fall drop coaster with a number as its name,themed around a crypt and a dark forest...
Oh well that might just be me!

@altontowers What happened to the "Wheel of win"? It said in the rules that the comp was running until Sept but it is no longer on the app??

@DanMc_SUFC Hi Dan, It was removed from the App earlier than planned due to players feedback. We hope you continue to enjoy the game! Smile.
