    I completed the game too apart from the secret elements, been playing wheel of win bloody hard to win anything!!! If I keep on playing I'm sure I will win one of the four prizes. I'm guessing the immelmanns and the one corkscrew won't be unlocked until you scan the code at the park and unlocks the secret elements page.

    I think the log flume is the Camelot one I'm not sure although local residents did say they saw it leave the park whether this is true I'm not sure but comparing the two photos oakwood's version is alot nicer In fact I've just noticed both go under the drop after they disembark the station... yep this is definately the old camelot flume.

    Details revealed: THEME PARK REVEALS DETAILS OF NEW RIDES!!! Oakwood Theme Park has revealed the first detailed plans of its new £4-million family-themed attraction which opens later this year. The Pembrokeshire park is creating a major magical-themed area with seven new rides and attractions; including a spectacular water ride alongside a series of children's play areas and other themed attractions. The pirate-themed water ride features a giant 12metre (40ft) tall sculpted skull with a waterfall flume cascading from one of the eye sockets. Visitors will journey through the inside of the massive rocky skull through a series of themed tableaux before their boat emerges back into the outside world via the eye. Other rides and attractions will include a junior coaster, a mini galleon, a London taxi ride and an interactive walkthrough experience. Work is already well under way on the new site with key ride features due to arrive over the next few weeks. Oakwood Park Director Dominic Jones said: “It’s incredible to see how quickly the build process is going. We have got an excellent and highly-experienced team on site who are working really well together. “When I come in every morning something new has been completed and it’s so exciting to see our plans coming to life before our eyes. “The pirate-themed skull flume ride will look absolutely amazing and will provide visitors with an awesome new experience which is totally unique,” he added. Set in close to 90 acres of spectacular countryside Oakwood is Wales’ biggest family adventure with more than 30 exhilarating rides and amazing experiences to discover. A unique combination of attractions includes world-class roller, tower and sky coasters, spectacular family rides, children’s themed play areas and so much more. Issued by Oakwood Theme Park.

    Sorry to sound retarded but what is an air gate??
  9. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    No offence but this is a topic for The Smiler not how bad Swarm is or how rough Saw is? Back on topic when the park officially opens do you guys think all The Smiler track will be up so we count the inversions or do you think they will be still constructing into April I know it opens in may but its niggling me.
  10. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    knowing whats been changed I won't be surprised if they did.
  11. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    Alton towers is marketing it as that so that is what the inversions will be called, whether anybody likes it or not that's the thing. I think it's fine because it fully inverts before the main drop and also if you look at most web sites the swarms drop is called a wing over, so Alton can call it that and Thorpe calls the inversion after itself, so Alton can call it that with out clashing. Plus according to the video trailer the track is still upside down midway through the drop, mind you that might not be 100% accurate to the ride.

    TWO INVERTED DROPS!!! AWESOME!!! with the 2 inverted drops and 2 corkscrew elements after the cobra roll and the indoor heartline roll that make 5 new inversions that weren't on the original plan brings the inversion count up to 13!! if 13 is the amount of official inversions now Th13teen's name is starting to sound a bit stupid for it lol I have to say The Swarm is starting to look a bit crap compared to this lol again

    officialy no my eyes arent that good its too blurry.
  14. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    in the entrance just before the lifthill on the wall inside the entrance hole I can just make out the word inoculator... I think that is the name of the secret element seems like the name also because the spider is now officially the marmaliser and the only thing the inoculator could be now is the secret element which I've backed up because I just spotted the word in the tunnel before the lift hill... I have good eye sight
  15. EC! replied to JoshC.'s topic in General Discussion
    FOR THE SAKE OF IT ,probably like I said why would they do it in the promo if they weren't doing it in the actual ride ?? plus red is sinister and is the colour of blood and devastation
  16. EC! replied to JoshC.'s topic in General Discussion
    You know with the red track rails on the promo image, if they actually repaint them red, but don't bother doing Colossus, nemesis inferno or even stealth I would be pied off because it doesn't need plus I wouldn't be surprised if they did this because why would they just put the red rails on for the sake of it?
  17. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    Along with the confirmed inverted drops you can see the new corkscrew but there is another one before that, so that means two corkscrews and one or maybe 2 inverted drops and the indoor heartline roll, thats 4 or 5 extra inversions so, we are seeing 12 or 13 inversions at least. My big questions are what is "camelback to inline" a new loop for the collection maybe?? And in that photo on the marmaliser spider there is the number 15, could be nothing but if it is I wonder that it could mean??

    Sorry to double post but this was posted on towers street its quite interesting: Heard that John Wardley was on Radio Bolton this morning so checked it out. Currently listening back to it - its well worth a listen! He sounds really enthusiastic about the ride and has a lot of interesting things to say! He confirms (in a sort of summary piece + some quotes) - Speaking about nem / air / oblivion - "well our new ride, its going to beat those" Talking about the new ride - "the thing about this, the unique thing, is that whilst rides in the past have played with your body, this "marmalises you" - plays with your mind in 5 "mind manipulating elements" that you experience on the ride. Its more than just a physical rollercoaster" "What weve managed to do is pack more track per m space on this ride than any other in the world" - also confirms the two "lifts" (one of which is vertical) Also comments there are things to disorientate you to make it both physical and mental. Also mentions a worlds first, never been done before - that they are holding back from the public before you ride. Have a listen http://podcast.canstream.co.uk/boltonfm/index.php?page=3 - Mid Mornings top of the page, towards the end of the show (perhaps 4/5ths through)

    Some people on tower times have said from the supports there might be at least 12 inversions!! 12!! Again I don't know wether this is true but this is gonna be an inversion monster and will hopefully mean the uk keeps the inversion record off the 11 looping coaster in china plus with all the different types of inversions it doesn't seem as forced as Colossus' 5 heart line inversions.
  20. EC! replied to th13teen's topic in UK Attractions
    According to some people on towers street, there are gonna be new inversions just after the lift hills, abit like a zero g roll, they suspect this because the part of the support that connects the track to the support, seem to be positioned in a way that looks like its going into an inversion, these are all rumours though, I'm Getting really excited now.
  21. the only thing that might be preventing me from going is the fact I live in Cardiff which Google tells me is 138 miles away so I'm not sure. mum says now I'm 16 I can do more independent things but I'm not sure if a 3 hour train or bus journey would fit in that bill, my friend does that to meet his father in central london so you never know.
