I would be sure they will get this built in a fairly quick time. Hey it's a B&M and they just get all the luck. -

Well if classic B&M building of the ride, they start with the brake run and move forward. So it should be heading this way very soon..... -

Ok, it has been a few years since I have been to Disney Orlando. What do you mean by the cave? Does the one in Florida have something like this now? -

So is this something they might bring to the U.S. Disney? -

I am trying to get an aerial view of the whole new ride area. Google Earth has one that is in the early stages of land clearing. Are there any sites that have an updated one since construction? -

So I see the webcam is now showing to the side where the maze is located. What are those vehicles or items in the view? -
Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

ok, looking at the webcam and the layout diagram am I missing something. The footers (in long straight row) are outside the building and the cut is parallel to them. So is there going to be the rest of the builing over that straight away and how does that map into the cut through pass? Diagrams using web cam photo? -

Just wonder why they dug that huge hole around the footers the other day and now filled back up? -

So the webcam page at Holidayworld says the construction cam is set to go live today. But I can not remember if that has been on the page the last few days or not. I was expecting the return of the cams on the 25th after the announcement but who knows..... -
If this is a recent video of him going down Verruckt, then they have removed lots from the slide top. Last I saw there was wood guiding you into some metal rails that seemed to keep the raft on the slide. So this shows nothing like that on the slide and guess they feel it wont go so much airborne at the top?
-
Watching the show last night on the making of Verruckt answered a lot of questions. It was not urban legend that the raft flew off the track. I was OMG! The weather they have had during the construction was nuts. Kinda surprised to see the cranse issues as well. So in a way, it does put fear in you this ride will not have issues. Really expected to see nets over the ride and now there are some. Show is very interesting and revealing. Good watch.

I think the most interesting part of Banshee will be to see the new wingrider restraints. If they remove the headbashing then it will get a much higher ridership. It will really help to have a ride where you are not headbashing especially on an invert. -

So the hype with the station and hiding it in pictures was standard Alton Towers marketing? -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
mikejenkins1 replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
So I do have a question. Why all the prehype about the building? All it has is a simple roll over (jo jo roll). And was all the story of the room where you would be turned upside down just more hype ? -

Try 'snickers bar' - scrambled that = bearskin -
Rob, When are you guys going to get a behind the scenes tour of this ride and show us how they have used the amazing technology for this ride?

Saw this posted in another thread about Beast videos and I was just about to post the same link here so I will. This is an old Beast commercial. http://youtube.com/watch?v=7PaUvZ0j2Fw
