Looks like a lot of inversions from the plans. Edit - asked what type of coaster it might be but then read the posts again. A Eurofighter.

Maybe they could just remove all of the rides? Then they would have plenty of room to build a new coaster.

I am disappointed that they don't have a real plane flying towards you at 500mph as you hit the drop. Poor show.

If its London then does that mean it will always be raining?

^ Either that or Universal is correct that Jaws is now outdated.

Can't believe no-one has said 'they're putting in a bigger boat'. Sad to see Jaws going. Like recent discussions on the removal of other rides the disappointment will be gauged by it's replacement.

That first picture that Eddie posted shows just what a 'parking lot coaster' Colossus is. Release the hounds.....

Why does this discussion make me think of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas shouting 'DANCE' only instead of at Spider it's at Happy Feet?

It always astonishes me how critical people can be even of the best rides. The lift hill of Tatsu is one of the most thrilling experiences there is. And the pretzel loop is the best imo. The cost of sticking Tatsu under the mountain would have prevented it being built in the first place I'm guessing.

There's a tv show in the UK called Frozen Planet. Last week it showed a Sealion trying to catch a penguin. Both of them were useless on land and it was quite funny watching them slide about (maybe less funny at the time for the penguin). Maybe the ride could be based round that?

It's good to see that as this thing starts to take shape a lot of the negativity is disappearing.

Also on that page was the rumour that it was Deja Vu and Jet Stream being removed. Oooh so close.

That looks like it has the potential to be the best element in any of the UK parks.

My huge regret when I went to IoA was that I queued for ages to get the front seat only for the dumbass operators to send the trains out at different times. I went round the track cursing them and this news has brought back that old anger. Good coasters? yes but without the duelling they come behind Montu. Surely there must be a way round this? I too had thought plexiglass so it still looks like the train is coming towards you rather than a net. Also what does this mean for other 'duelling coasters'? Will they stop all trains running together in case some fudgewit decides to do something crazy?

^^ is that camera wet from the piece of track splashing into the water?

I think after 13 everyone will be taking any hype with a large bucket of salt.

What good fortune for AT that they have discovered something else lurking in the grounds. They couldn't have had the park on a more interesting site. Also - I love that original Nemesis launch video.

Hi-tech that wasn't.

I can never imagine going to a park and NOT trying a coaster.... But that's just me.

CBS are clearly barking mad. I'll get my coat.

^^ Whilst I liked the introduction of the quacks I do have a nostalgic preference for the old fashioned log flume. It was the longest in the world when I first rode it - I'm sure it's been overtaken now.

^^^Love it!

So in other words we're all gonna die?

^ Ta. Suspected it was over that side but couldn't quite picture where. Slightly strange to build a new dark ride with the old Black Hole structure still in place. Always felt that would be resurrected at some point.

Those maps are really confusing. Where exactly is the proposed site within the park?
