Just as you thought all the overhyped PR rubbish was over for TH13TEEN, here is another I think its a good idea but i dont agree with the last paragraph, "Adrenalin-pumping speeds" -

Alton Towers Opening day Photo Trip Report
cmpunk771 replied to cmpunk771's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It is part of th13teen but when i ate breakfast with John Wardly this morning he told me that they had MUCH more planned but as a quick route out and to get it open they used scaffolding. I did enjoy the ride but there is TOO much Hype around it. Rita also has new music when they launch you. Its in a wraiths voice, like an old man "Put your head back, hold on tight, YOU MUST ESCAPE" i think he means the forest. Then after you have been launched or just as soon as it starts he says "GO, GO, GO" so its good they changed it, but TH13TEENS themeing in AMAZING, best in UK. There is a little indoor bit above the station with little girls writing on the wall, its very dark and forestry in there if thats a word lol I hope you guys enjoy it when you come over, i saw a few TPR hoddies today but didn't say hi -
Heya guys, I just got back from 2 days at alton towers and i had the most awesome time. I was staying in the alton towers hotel and on friday night during the VIP night i met Girls Aloud and Bill Baily I am going to cut to the photos and give you my TH13TEEN review at the end Enjoy On the monorail for 8:30, get are ERT! Right on to oblivion while everyone else went to Th13teen, had 5x rides on it and got my oblivion condom Oblivion "Insert sexual innuendo about going into the hole" Nice new restrains on the cars Ok now over to the Dark Forest Entrance Wonder why he is here RITA QUEEN OF SPEED, oops no i ment RITA Rita control booth Guy in Pic "What is this idiot doing" Painted ritas cars The cars This is why we are here Dead trees all over the place in the Que. It will look amazing when lots of trees grow over and engulf the Que. Theming Getting closer Baggage hold, and stairs up to station, I like how there is a ladder you walk under for bad luck Wraith in station Unfinished ceiling Ride op Box Going onto Crypt Met god himself, was a really nice man, but he didnt like the attention, he seemed shy This thing really towers over Ride exit Alton towers hotel Ok so here is my ride review You start out coming into the station with writing on the wall and the pungent smell of forest. As you are dispatched and go up the lift hill you see the other car arrive in the crypt. You then travel down the drop and weave around the forest, when the forest grows it will be an amazing sight when riding as at the moment its a bit like a building site still. You then enter the crypt where the door crashes behind you and you can hear the floor creaking, you are surrounded by leafs and then the lights drop. You then are plunged in pitch black with air blasters then as the light comes up you are surrounded by wraiths. Then launched backwards around the cold underground helix. My thoughts is that if you are expecting some amazing G's then you wont get it, it is well themed mine train as i see it and very smooth. Dont get me wrong it is well themed, probably best in UK but i hate to say it the drop is rubbish. I really didnt feel it, it wasn't strong, it is good for a 1 time scare but it has no re-rid-ability. The effects where half done and where on and off all day. Overall a good addition to the park but it is not something that is going to be huge. I am going to stick with nemesis and Air

I saw a good idea at another theme park website. They where saying that the secret element could be a Swinging piece of track? Maybe it will be suspended by some sort of cable and it will swing freely? Seems more plausible then my friends idea of the car jumping off the track :L -

Is that what the cars are going to look like? Also Sonic Spinball is looking nice -

cmpunk771 replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think there will be the secret element in the backwards turn(as we see in the photos) or the backwards turn to show the car running away from something in the building because we know after the turn it then enters the station. I think there will be a really bug animatronic or a big projector screen and something will try to attack us. -

Well as we know the car cant be too amazing because of the strength of the track, i would think its the cars because of the truck load pictures we saw of the SW. So that could be cars in there or is there something going to happen inside the building that makes it unique? -

With Th13teen i think that no doubt will it be best themed ride in the country, Looking at the photos so far we are going to have a amazingly themed ride but will the actual ride be any good? Anyone got any guesses on the worlds first element, i have a feeling its something going to happen on the cars? -
