  • I had the funniest ride on Th13teen on Saturday - there was a group of people sat behind us and as we were approaching the indoor bit the girl behind me says "what, I came on this ride just for THAT"

  • It's the Hex effect, I could sit on Hex all day watching the wonder on the faces of first time riders, It's just a joy. Or at least I could do that if Towers bothered opening it. Th13teen does have a

  • That, my dear Han, is why 13 is one of my favorite rides. You get that regularly. The outside section lulls you into a false sense of meh-ness and you always hear - "was that it?" or "I queued 45 minu

It was my understanding that the green part of the track has always been there to blend the coaster into the trees at the high points of the ride. But I may be wrong.

Yes, but it was actually photoshopped by a member a towers times! :lol:

The bit I was looking at is below.. shows the dark green colour that Alton are required to paint the highest point of the ride and a lighter green colour below, where the track is usually a red colour. It may however, simply be a trick of the light!Posted Image

Are you really surprised? A brand new World First ride with masses of advertising and there not going to have fastrack? If you read the topic you would have seen that we all assumed this especially as Saw didn't have it either at opening. Add in the technical problems etc and its a good move by The Towers...To be very honest, at the moment I doubt it'll even be open on opening day. Apparently the ride's "secret weapon" is having huge technical difficulties which has resulted in the preview weekend being cancelled and boot camp event being postponed

THERE WILL BE NO FASTTRACK ON 13 OPENING DAY I'm sooooooo not happy I have PLATIUM fast track £100 and I dont even get to fast track on 13 ! :D

Heyheyhey! Just be grateful that you get to go to 13 opening day and that you are getting £100s worth of fastrack! If I were you I would be the happiest person ever

I dont think its having huge problems just that the snow etc has pushed a tight deadline even tighter regarding the completion of the dark forest area, there still saying 20th March on there website yet have removed about the preview weekend.The guys at towerstimes got hold of Morwenna whos the Alton Towers sales and marketing director and he had this to say Quoted from towers times member Joel

We took the decision to run the Preview Weekend, the first of its kind for the Resort, some months ago recognizing that some of you would welcome the opportunity to experience the TH13TEEN, have a behind-the-scenes tour and learn about how the ride was conceived and marketed. An event of this nature takes a huge amount of organisation and planning particularly as we wanted to make it as special and as unique as the ride itself. As those of you who have received the email are aware, TH13TEEN is an incredibly sophisticated ride and we have experienced some minor technical difficulties during testing. What we have also experienced is some incredibly bad weather over the first few weeks of the year meaning that an enormous amount of work still has to be completed in the TH13TEEN ride area as well as Ug Land which is being rethemed which is why we cannot allow access to the ride area, Ug Land or indeed Rita.I understand your disappointment and frustration at the weekend being cancelled but we have made this incredibly difficult decision because we could not guarantee the access and the experience that you would expect from Alton Towers Resort. I also understand some of you are rightly annoyed at the short notice which has come about because I had hoped that we would be able to show you some elements if not all – it has become clear over the last 24 hours that this would not be possible.Once again, please accept my apologies for the cancellation which is totally unavoidable as I now hope you will appreciate. We will be back in touch with those of you who had a reservation for the weekend regarding “An evening with John Wardley and TH13TEEN” soon.

I'm sorry you have to queue like the rest of us plebs, however I'm sure when you skip past us all queuing for Air, RitA and Oblivion you can have the perverse satiafacton that you wasted your money just to get a few more rides then us.
