Alton Towers Wooden Coaster & Shoot The Chute Ride

He is, what he called semi retired. So he still is around, but don't do much formal work anymore. He started the process with designing SW6, but later let other people take over that prodject. So I'm sure he is still around, but I'll doubt he is working that much on this prodject, except as an enthusiast and a consultant. Also I believe he was spotted in Blackpool a a few months ago riding some woodies with some other people from the industry. Might be a hint?[:)]

If that's true then i will be making another trip in 2008 around germany [redsmoke]

It seems true, even though there haven't been too much buzz around it. It was reported in the latest First Drop, and I've also seen it a few other places.

When it was reported in the latest First Drop then I think ?????????t?????????s right that they get a woodie[approve]

According to Towers Times, John Wardley was seen on park this week with James Paulding and Russel Barnes (Park Managers). He apparently is heavily involved in this project!
