What Would You Be Most Surprised To See At Alton Towers?

[PhoenixStudios]

* * * This is in terms of some kind of ride, experience, or a change in either. * * *

What would you be most surprised to see happen at the Towers?

A new flat? A new coaster? Woodie? Steel? Intamin? B&M? Zamperla? Vekoma?

Think of it as something new that happens that may be surprising, while still may have an extremely faint glimmer of happening.

Or you could go crazy off the walls with any idea.

A Woodie. I would LOVE to see one at the towers but it is really unlikely unfortunately  .

[rhino18]

A Eurofighter. Duh! 

[NickiFan]

A kingda ka clone..

[X/: no way out]

Tbh I don't see Ripsaw being refurbished anytime soon, sorry guys

[NickiFan]

Good, I dislike Ripsaw.

[Danny]

A proper shop building/unit as opposed to a shipping container.

[Luce]

A ride or attraction that doesn't exit into a shop and the removal of Fastrack

[Martin]

Toilets that actually look clean and don't smell vile 

[Luce]

Yeah, I agree Martin - it would be nice to have the toilets refurbished as most of them aren't overly pleasant

[Dom]

I would be surprised to see rides not breaking down

[Dan]

I would be surprised to see somewhere where you can park for free

[Zac]

I would love to see the actual "Alton Towers" fully restored.

A permanent horror maze/show ride in the Towers, along the lines of London dungeons, With a story like Hex but based on the Towers, or replace Hex and use it as the start of the walk through indoor dark ride or walk through (I know there is Duel)
Maybe a rotating element like the Ghost Blaster ride in Tooley street (can't remember the name as it wasn't there long before london dungeons moved to town hall).
A Dark maze with random unlocking doors in maze so no 2 experiences the same, with the angels from Dr Who as there is the BBC element in the park now, (escape the angels) make it a walk through or dark ride.
4D indoor haunted ride, Virtual 4D effects things projected onto walls, Wind and smoke effects, vibrating floor? Moving walls?

Potential is huge.

Personally I would be most surprised to see a new woodie, but I can see maybe a flat coming before it? I don't know what Merlin's plans are, and if the No. of flats at Thorpe affect this.

[TowersManiac0110]

Get N:ST out as it just wastes space. Terrible and painful addition to the park. A new Woodie would be amazing too.

[sw7nutter]

I would doubt a S&S swing would replace N:ST. No matter how much I dream for it.

[Thorpe Towers 13]

Though I would love to see it, if a woody popped up I think I would take the pledge! It would need to be a big big big thing to get a decent ride!

[Ripsaw Raver]

As much as I would like a woodie, I think a launched valley hyper would be awesome.

As for my other vote, a flat in place of Submission.

Technical Park Pegasus, not too high great capacity, a good thrilling ride.



Easily themed to a MOJ Machine

That's a great idea, actually. The current flats always have at least some little difference to your average one (with the possibly exception of Enterprise), like Ripsaw's curving saw in the middle, the spikes on Submission, blades on Blade (I can see a pattern here..), etc.

Although, I would like to see an addition to Gloomy Wood or Dark Forest.
