December 22, 200915 yr comment_78202 I am so SO excited for this, I think when we see the theming complete and find the whole story behind the ride, Thirteen as a name will fit well. Everyone talks about the outside section looking tame, but flying through the "Dark" forest at quite a speed will be great. Also I'm hoping that we'll get some good airtime, as that is something ( in my opinion) we're missing in the UK.The whole project looks incredible to me
December 22, 200915 yr comment_78209 thats one of the reasons why Rock n Rollercoaster is may favourtie coaster, the theming just never stops. Saw the ride would be alot better with a longer and better themed indoor section and Th13teen will be great aslong as the indoor section lives up to the expectations that we are setting it.

The themeing in the station and inside the ride area is awesome.I'm getting really excited about Th13teen now, just hope it's worth all the hype.
December 22, 200915 yr Author comment_78216 Alot of people are saying the outside looks tame; what people don't realize is that due to the terrain in that area, the track doesn't really go much higher than the bottom of the first drop, with a couple of exceptions. Should be air- time city!Sounds sad, but I'm looking forward to the station probably the most- I can't resist a well themed station!
December 22, 200915 yr comment_78218 I built a quick NL of it exacly to the plans. Well the outside parts. From the 67ft lift (judged from Rita to the plan hights), I got 40mph and got very soft floater airtime. This was with a 7 car train. It was able to take 7 cars without G Force issues. The backwards part was rather slow, but the woods bit was fairly exciting, if over a bit quickly. I guess with whatever the inside feacture is this will be a cracking little ride. More looking faward to the theming though.
December 22, 200915 yr comment_78219 I don't think it looks tame, I think the drops and the turns look quite intense, the first drop is quite steep so the train should pick up a bit of speed and the rest of layout is down hill so the ride should be quite fast.

December 22, 200915 yr comment_78222 Are those Waithes meant to be scary? Seriously though, starting to take shape. I do like the Waithes in the forest though.

I do like the Waithes in the forest though.If we're thinking of the same picture, I 100% agree! The area looks so ( looking for a better word here ) "dark".I hope though, unlike Saw: The Ride, the theming carries on throughout the whole ride.Absolutely loving this so far and can't wait to experience this "Physcoaster"
December 22, 200915 yr Author comment_78239 Wow! This is my fave! Very Gothic, very dark, almost has a Stephen Moffat presence about it. I want it, now. =DSpooky actually because I looked at their flickr literally an hour before this was posted. Thank you very much to Alton Towers who are doing a wonderful job of keeping us updated! A very happy Sheepski here!
December 23, 200915 yr comment_78276 Are those Waithes meant to be scary? I think they look like those yip yaps out of sesame street or the muppets! http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/images/coolest-homemade-sesame-street-yip-yips-costume-21152842.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/coolest-homemade-sesame-street-yip-yips-costume.html&usg=__yT39mLOHMevQ8p-bMWKjG5uR_IM=&h=300&w=400&sz=25&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=IWiYqdb77heALM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dyip%2Byips%2Bsesame%2Bstreet%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1[/media][/img]

January 6, 201015 yr comment_79499 All of these statues are reminding me of Blink *scared*Oh god, this means ima be bloody terrifed when I ride this..
January 7, 201015 yr comment_79596 I hope those are'nt the new cars for 13, they won't hold together very long
January 10, 201015 yr comment_79904 hiya, just wondering which are the best photo update sites for SW6 construction?

January 13, 201015 yr comment_80113 I am really looking forward to this now, the themeing looks exceptional!
January 13, 201015 yr comment_80124 Station and show building is very well themed. I noticed there's no facade on part of the show building in those pics, I hope they eventually get round to covering it up.Hope the rest of the ride lives up to this same standard.
January 19, 201015 yr comment_80674 Have not been to alton as yet, might be going up this summer but I doubt it. Really want to go on this, it looks great theming and family friendly ride wise.
January 19, 201015 yr comment_80682 I think what T0M meant was the actually ride itself, excluding all theming, plot lines, etc. The bare ride with no theming whatsoever basically. I would be tempted to agree, but not knowing the full extent of the ride and the cars mean I wouldn't yet agree. If that makes sense..
