Alton Towers Discussion Thread

p. 235: Nemesis Reborn announced for Spring 2024!

Recommended Posts

I know which one you mean, saw it on some pictures I can't easily retrace.

 

I think these may be the images you were trying to find.

 

 

 

Credit to towersstreet for the images.

 

These pieces seem to be some form of a braking system. I would suggest a trim, but the multiple connections underneath the track make it seem as if that piece won't be able to take much negative Gs, if that was for one of the airtime hills. I think it could be for one of the top of the lifts.

^ If it was for the main brakes then it wouldn't be the kind that can be lowered, it would be fixed in position like on Mystery Mine. Those track pieces have a bunch of little connectors coming off of them so I think they may be destined for the top of the first lift (the one that is rumored to be a launch) for trimming purposes.

Looking at the pre-drop that's leads into the first drop. We already need one piece of track to level the track after that we can use 1 of the 2 where stays the other one? Looking at the connections underneath they can make all sorts of supports underneath them so they could catch the negative G on that.

Here's the new update in full. (from a few days ago apparently more track is up today).

 

Looking as good as ever. There should be another update tonight from TowersTimes.

^What the hell is that triangular support in the middle!??!?!?

It will most likely support the middle of the roll-over by the looks of it, there will also be another beam attached to the left in the picture where you have a round connection. So it will be more N-shaped with a bar across the top in the end.

 

I really love what Alton have created, even if I was there last year, this may warrant a new trip this year.
