what happened to this

im dont pay to much attention to europian coasters but i did come upon this and was wondering why didn't the build it?[peakhill]It looks awesome



Alton Towers planned to open one of the biggest wooden rollercoasters in the world for the 2005 season. The planning application was drawn up for a massive Intamin New Generation wooden coaster that would include drops of about 200ft down into the valley behind the gardens, with a footprint spanning from Ugland to Forbidden Valley.

The coaster was soon met with fierce opposition from residents who complained about noise levels and Alton Towers bosses fought back well, gaining support in many areas. However, eventually the council turned against Alton Towers and despite over 500 letters of approval from rollercoaster fans around the UK, the planning application was withdrawn, and one of the most amazing rides that could ever have been built was sent to its grave.

Reason For Abandoning: Planning Application Withdrawn after massive protest
The Aftermath: Unknown

erm, you asnwered your question there. The council disaproved the planning aplication, as the locals complained about the project, saying it would be too loud and may be visable through the tree's. Total bollocks imo, however AT have changed the plans for the coaster and i expect in the near future a coaster will emerge through the valley at AT.
