SW1 & SW2

[KoasterKraver]

This topic has been made to decide if SW1 & SW2 will ever get built. If they do what will they be?

[Burniel]

They were the original ideas for nemesis (SW3)

They never got built and opened. They almost definitely never will

[JammyBand]

They were two designs of Pipeline coaster (manufactured by Arrow) that would open in Thunder valley. Upon traveling to the USA to ride a coaster of this type, they discovered they were unreliable and actually not that thrilling. The two designs were scrapped. After that, they heard about the new B&M coaster type (the inverted coaster) and they realized that it would be a really thrilling attraction. Nemesis was born. Yay!

The original design was intended for the area behind corkie. There were a couple of designs considered, apparently one was a woodie for this area, as detailed in smokes and mirrors.

No I'm pretty sure it was for the current site of nemesis ...

Arrow went under in 2001, so, unless AT have a tardis, they will never be built

I'll look for a source for you, but I'm pretty sure the first was considered for the area in Abbey Wood behind corkie, regardless of the TT information: in all honestly, the designation was not truly official, so whichever plans are truly the first considered proposals for the 'Secret Weapon to rival the Big One', as the term comes from, we may never know.

^ your thinking of the racing coaster that was planned to be behind corkie and yes, they were both for where nemmy is now, as they, like nemmy, where in the ground, and the only place that they could build a coaster in the ground was where nemmy is now as there would need to be a lot of trees removed behind corkscrew

Here are the original plans for SW1 and I can echo whats already been said SW1 and SW2 were both planned on the Nemesis site

Obviously many plans floating around in this early Tussauds/ Pearsons era!

Cheers for the amount of clearing up. The information is still sketchy!

[JaykeAT]

It would be a nice nod to the nerds, but I doubt they would ever be made seeing one of the companies meant to make them has gone bust.

[gaz1313]

The plans will never be acted upon for the same reason they weren't acted upon in the first place: the ride experience wasn't up to standard for the pipeline coaster type, for JWs design. If a manufacturer could make a pipeline coaster thrilling and profitable then there may be some scope for production. These plans however, will never be produced in this form, and i doubt any other!

[Jamie]

They won't be built.  It would have been interesting to see how things would have turned out if one of these was built instead of Nemesis though!

[lf2001]

They never will get built. It would be nice to see what they would've been, and the pipeline coaster sounds interesting.

Hmmm, why would the plans be in FV then?

[Master_feedback]

If by pv you mean profile view then that's so they could/can show the design is lower than the tops of the trees

[stealthsmiler]

No I think, FV as in Forbidden Valley. As mentioned before someone said the coaster was planned to be behind Corky so
the question means Why are the plans in Forbidden Valley? If the coaster was planned for Ug Land area.

The layouts and designs wouldn't be modern enough for today's theme park industry. Theme parks these days are all about world firsts
