Here's a fuller view of the majority of the track, including the enclosed lift hill. You can also see how it will interact with Taron. https://instagram.com/p/BBpksVHR8GZ/

The Swarm does have good theming but I'm not sure you can call it aesthetically pleasing. This however is visually stunning despite it being littered with fake plastic dinosaurs.

Maybe a double launch? It launches first but fails to get out of the tunnel, so the carriage goes backwards down the tunnel. There then is another launch which properly launches the train. I don't know really. That's the only thing I could think of!

I just hope the experience will revolve less around the actors and it should be more intuitive as to where you are supposed to go. I did enjoy the attraction on my only walk through but our actor was really cringe worthy...

^ If Towers was 10 mins away I'd visit it a lot. But, I'd also occasionally go to Thorpe (even if it was hours away). I've also been to Drayton, Flamingo land and Lightwater Valley. I know these parks are no where near the standards of TP and AT but they have new rides that I haven't been on. So I guess that's all I want in a theme park, lots of different rides that have unique experiences!

This thread should be renamed " Random Gif Thread"

I understand how to solve clue 5 but the FaceBook tutorial isn't very clear on the solution for the GP.

I'm very glad clue 7 hasn't been revealed. Also the clue five solution isn't the clearest so hopefully quite a few people wouldn't have got that. I'm sorry if this feels like it is only about me winning but this competition has really given me a competitive edge.

You've existed for 31 minutes and you've already double posted...

It's probably a prequel.

Lol I just searched for "closed them parks" on Google maps and it took me straight to Thorpe Park. The worlds only 'permanently' closed theme park...

Well perhaps the options are open, permanently closed or just nothing.

Google maps doesn't have a temporarily closed status. The only possibilities are open or permanently closed. I frequently tour the theme park world on google maps and everything appears to be closed...

^ Maybe MoS or any other late night events. I know they're not particularly horror events, but they are still events...

Well I live close to TP but I find myself making the 6 hour round trip to Towers around twice a year. This is purely due to to the rides. I find the rides exciting and the theming is far superior to that of TP. Also, all the rides have an exciting innovative section that makes the park unique. I.E: Th13teen's track drop, oblivions black hole, The Smiler's inversions or Air's flying position. In terms of technology, I don't use a lot. It's really just a queue times app that I find handy.

Graphics look meh. Gameplay looks meh. And I'm beginning to think Galactica will be meh.

For Alton Towers I hope galactica is a hit. For the future of theme parks I hope galactica isn't a hit. Although you made up this Hex rumour, it seems very probable...

I'm excited now... I paused it on the blueprints but I didn't see anything special.

I believe that VR will be a theme park game changer - but not in a positive way. What does the future hold for real theming when it can be replaced by a screen in front of you? AR however seems like it could have a larger positive impact....

^ but it wouldn't be Cabin because Merlin lost their Lionsgate connection.

At least there won't be any confusion with Gardaland's raptor...

^ Or someone who's hacked the system and hasn't solved any clues.

It's always jart. The winners will be announced next Monday. (15th Feb)

Especially when 2 of them are The Big One and Valhalla. England's tallest roller coaster and England's best water/ dark ride. Very poor from BPB
