Alton Towers is a park I always have wanted to visit. Thanks so much for the view.

The text on the bottom just said along the lines off. "Gift is first come, first serve, limited supplies". And, "Platinum, 2year, and 1 year passports only, no funcard". And, Must show up at nirobi gate with passport and ID. That's all it said.

Wow, 1 million post? That's super awesome!

Just so everyone's made aware of this. Passport Holder ERT.

Can't wait for it. It's going to be so awesome. So, is anyone going for opening day?

Agreed. I know for a fact my younger sibling would hate it.

I promised a few people I wouldn't argue anymore. I absolutely disagree with you, still, and would love to argue my point even further. I'll respect your opinion even though I disagree. Let's get on with life. Either way, going to the park later on and should hopefully get some more pictures.

Again, your mistaken. I'd like to first say that I have always defended the coaster, not once saying it sucked. So, please, for the future, look my my post before you comment on them. I'm not saying you said that the coaster will suck. I'm saying it's probably not intended for being a "steeping stone" coaster. In my original post to this argument that happen a month ago, I said you can't assume this will be a horrible coaster unless you ride it. You shouldn't assume, nor can you make a accurate assumption until you ride. I don't see why you're getting so worked up about this. If you want to quote me again, actually do it so you know it's right. However, this will only attract unwanted ears. So, let's just accept each other opinion, and get on with the thread. I'll stop. Edit: Oh, I see where you said that you saw me saying this coaster will suck. Read the full sentence before you argue it.

"Family friendly" as in, if the 48" height requirement sticks, more kids will be able to ride it. That frustration of being just under the height can be compounded when big brother or big sister can ride, and the younger can't. Lower height, more potential riders. Less heartaches and tears for parents... The notion was not to say that this was going to be a glorified wacky worm... rather, that more families with younger children would have the option of riding provided the height doesn't change. I don't think you'd get what I mean. Your originally said it was MADE for a lower age group and was not suppose to be thrilling. However, just because it has a lower height limit, it doesn't mean that it was designed as a stepping stone. While yes, it can appeal to a very small range of kids, by having a slightly lower height requirement. I agree that more children will be able to ride, obviously, it's just your previous comments that I have a problem with.

^I've already made my position noted on pass discussion on this subject. Let's take 5 people who I just interviewed in my school class, who dislike "intense" coasters, such as Sheikra, Kumba, and Montu, and see what they think based on photos and videos of the ride. When showing them photos of: The Tower element, The loop, the videos of the launches, the Drop over the skyride, and what little we've seen of the Rhino Rally Section. Overall, the consensus is that the ride would be more appealing without the loop, and less steep drops. They also noted the that launches scared the shit out of them, and I showed them the "slower, not up to speed" version. They don't consider this a family oriented coaster. When asked, if they would ride one of these four coasters; Kumba, Montu, Sheikra, and Cheetah Hunt, only one of the five kids said cheetah hunt. I understand that these are only 5 people of the GP out of a absurdly large number of actual visitors, but, what coaster enthusiastic might find as boring, could be thrilling to GP. I highly doubt most of the people who visit Busch have ever gone one or more top 10 steel coasters. You can go ahead and say, "Hey, this coaster is going to suck, and it's directed as a stepping stone to the bigger rides." However, I couldn't disagree more. I say it's suppose to be another thrilling coaster, it's just being thought of, by most enthusiast, as another low class ride. Also, regarding the 48in height requirement, it's rumored to change. (Busch's official facebook still is telling people it's not set in stone.) Of course, this could mean nothing.

I would expect: Cheetah Coaster, Dat Cheeta, Dat Coaster, Dat ass.

According to Busch's Ride Rehab page, the Skyride, which was suppose to open up April 24th, was delayed to May 27th when Cheetah Hunt opens. Oh well, I was hoping to getting some nice photos before the ride opened..

Little update, I went to Magic Kingdom and basically studied the ride. Every 5-7 a mist/mystified water cannon would fire hitting the riders that are right in from of the "barb patch". Though, It looked like mist, and the water was not hitting the bridge at all. However, the splash that everyone is talking about (The splash right before the second lift hill) is indeed disabled and cutting short right before it hits the boat.

Strange, I was there (MK and MGM) yesterday. Thanks for the update on all of these things!

You can tell which one comes first? Damn, your smarter then I thought.

Even if that was the case, it would have been cranked up by now. Just sayin', here in Florida we are already in the 90's on average. While we haven't hit the extent of our summer weather, we already are way past the colder days. The smaller splash started around February, it was running though Christmas and New Years. (It was running a combination of 2 of these "new" splashes, then 1 of the ones that get you wet.) Same thing with the one that splashes the bridge, I haven't seen that running since the new splash profile was put in place. (However, that could be changed by now, I haven't checked). If it's like this, it's not because of weather now, in my opinion.

Well, remember when we saw construction photos we saw what could or couldn't be a indoor section. So, I'm wondering as well.

HOLY CRAP, Those Orange umbrellas are totally new to the park. I've never seen them before! No, just kidding, while I really haven't seen them before, I'll leave a positive post like you asked! I really enjoyed this PTR, nice photos, and it makes me feel like I should get to the park more often. Thanks for posting it.

Personally, I can see them making a full variability show based off all the mini shows they pull in potterland, of course with a storyline added, and maybe a few others.

I wonder how fast the launch will be. I'd be satisfied with a POV for this coaster, no wait line for that. Haha.

We don't need to argue this. While I would love to challenge your opinion again, because I believe your not taking everything into consideration, arguing will only attract mods and cause war. Even so, I accept your opinion.

Thanks for the description. I was able to watch the video last night when I got out of a area where internet is blocked. (Pesky school). I agree with your census on the spinning. Thanks for taking your time to describe it to me.

I actually really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting!

I also understand you. I do want to point out your point though. If you are straight thinking, and go base on appearances, yes, you can assume that el toro would be a amazing coaster. No doubts about that. However, there is such thing as people who think "out of the box" or, people who think differently. I personally would think more about how rough it will ride, how comfortable, and others factors that can only be figured out by riding, which would in turn shape my opinion on the coaster. So to anwser your question, Yes, I do think that some people who saw El Toro testing were not immediately convinced it would be a amazing coaster. Nor, in fact, is everyone a fan of El Toro. However, I see your point, and I totally understand. Yes, I agree you can make assumptions. It's just that your example didn't support it. I agree with you on the most part, You're last statement is spot on with how I think the coaster will be like. I just like taking the counterpoint, most of the time, and then defending other's views that are possible. I try to take all sides in the most effective way. So, please don't think I don't agree with you and I'm telling you your wrong. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Side note, I'll be going to the park hopefully this weekend, hopefully the SkyRide will be open by then. (It's opening was delayed.)
