Alton Towers - Thirteen

http://cache.rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/p22116.jpg found this online if its any help. dunno if its real or anything, seems to match the layout though.

Uhhh... No thats an intamin mega-lite, and this is made by mack. And the layouts are actually not very close.

SW6 is made by intamin, not mack.

Oh wow. Double fail ftw.

Reecey thinking that an intamin mega lite was SW6, and Kyle Sloan thinking that SW6 was made by Mack. Cmon guys... We can do better than this.

Looks like an Arrow Megalooper to me.

Press Release:

*removed because of complaints*

Lol such BS. They're putting way too much hype into this.

Yeah, because ID'ing you at the ride and only letting you on once a day is gonna be SO good for business.

And number 1 destination around the world? Excuse me?!?! It's a good park, but for christ's sake I can think of about twenty others I'd rather go to!

thanks for the fake press release

and just to add, i got a staff member to remove the press release as alton towers was thretening to sue any website displaying it as an official press release

I was unaware of it being fake when I posted it, I was under the impression it was real, much like everyone on TT thought it was. Sorry for the mistake.

yeah, thought that was a bit stupid 16-55...

Ooooooh It's called THI3TEEN!

Damnit! You just beat me to it, I was just gonna post that. Get this from Facebook did you?

[hyyyper]

why didn't they call it Th13teen?

Also, from the press release
?????????The new technology will be the first of its kind in the world and will potentially make the ride so frightening that the Resort is considering introducing a controversial age-rating. Only visitors between the ages of 16-55 will be allowed on the ride due to concerns about emotional maturity and physical health. Visitors may also be limited to one ride per day and be required to sign a waiver which assures the Resort of their physical and mental health to avoid any resulting lawsuits."

What the love?

They did call it TH13TEEN - i typoed...

Sorry gouldy

Have you looked at the Theming Video on the site? It looks pretty impressive

Ignore this, they?????????re just hyping the ride up. I very much doubt we'll see an age restriction.

Hyyyper, on the right of the ride logo they write it in above the text as TH13TEEN.

So are they building three coasters? thirteen, th13teen and thi3teen?

Honestly I think this new ride is going to get 5 feet out of the station and immediately E-Stop itself for no reason.

I love Merlin's laughably over-the-top publicity stunts. They male me giggle inside. [:D]

I also love how much they hype up their rides. They make mountains out of molehills. Not to say this ride looks bad, cause I think it looks like a cracker of a family coaster.
