  1. Who's says there broken? For all you know someone forgot to turn them on...

    The one I saw yesterday said 'Now open, Book now at AltonTowers.com' and even my mum asked me this morning why they are advertising it as open.
  3. To be fair, they are different blocks but the timing between them is so small they may as well be one
  4. By technicality Stealth is currently Europe's fastest coaster by 0.1mph It's average speed is 84mph
  5. SAW has 13 (maybe 14 , can't remember) blocks I believe: Two Load > Speech > Lift 1 > Just before base of lift > Lift 2 > MCBR > Two brakes > two waiting > two offload. Stealth could never run three trains because of it's speed and having 4 blocks, the blocks that would start off occupied are Load, Offload + Waiting - By the time the train has got to the end of Launch Block the Offload train wouldn't of made it to Load therefore Waiting would still be occupied causing the ride to E-stop itself before the end of the launch track. The system on Stealth recognises Launch to cover from the start of the launch track to the end of the bunny hop, Which is fair enough
  6. Colossus just doesn't agree with a fully loaded train stopping on the lift. Inferno sometimes thinks it has 3 trains
  7. I googled them and nothing came up, must be quite a low lying band!
  8. I thought this was a joke topic
  9. I believe you can send an inferno train when it leaves the zero G roll. Ian can correct me if I'm wrong.
  10. I think he was on about the second time it happened in the last week

    1:58 - That's cringey how slow that got! And this competition is rubbish, one minute it was saying I had the answer right than it wasn't then it was again :S
  12. And it's closed again because of the same reason
  13. In early June school trips aren't as full-on as the end of June. I would advise going Monday -Thursday, avoiding Friday to Sunday
  14. It's funny because they let it go and it stalled again before the mcbr
  15. This is awkward, twice now!

    I'm saying it's pointless because News Round, is aimed at young children as it's incorporated in the childrens couple of hours on the BBC mostly viewed on CBBC. The vast majority of parents will either be still at work or cooking dinner on a weekday so the people who can ride it won't see it and the people who can't ride it do see it...

    That's the most pointless news story in the world.
  18. I like how there is still a test dummy in the first row right seat

    I can only assume they are testing probably an hour or so after park closes to early hours or the morning to avoid anyone seeing it. Builds the suspense a bit, I'm sure Alton towers fanboys are very disgruntled by this
  20. And how many years have they left it rotting? (Ben when Tussaud's owned it) It seems a bit stupid to of let it get to the state it did before someone decided to paint bomb the park.

    I don't think it moved from that point at any time today, most likely put there on purpose to hype everyone up and make people stand there for 8 hours...
  22. Shows how much I pay attention I found it whilst browsing an old Facebook group
  23. Don't know if anyone has seen this; http://uk.news.yahoo.com/paramount-theme-park-threaten-spiders-140757735.html#dfe639n
