March 16, 201015 yr comment_86635 ARGH!Right, time for Mark to avoid this topic from now on.Blipverts I can take, obscure pictures of Rita, fine. But actual secret bits.. no no.
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86652 Stupid GMTV...From that shot though... Looks like the station's interior looks decent... Reasonable hopes have risen on the theming side of things...

March 17, 201015 yr comment_86654 It looks so good now really cant wait to ride it and this Drop Inside the Tunnel Looks great:D!
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86662 After watching it a few times I'm quite excited about this now. None of the effects were working for the filming, so in my book we still don't know the best part of the ride, as we've kinda known what happens inside the building for a good few months now.One thing does concern me is that nothing looks finished. QUICK!

Bring it on!!!
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86667 From watching that video I am majorly disappointed, doesn't look very fast, it's short and the drop doesn't seem scary at all.

March 17, 201015 yr comment_86670 From watching that video I am majorly disappointed, doesn't look very fast, it's short and the drop doesn't seem scary at all.I felt the same at first. I don't think the segment conveyed the ride very well. Keep watching it and just look at the amount of air time though. Look at the reporter's hair. Just hope they get a move on and finish the area!
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86671 Sigh...Rides look rubbish in POVs... Nemesis does, Oblivion does, everything I highly rate looks pretty poor...The people seeming to be jumping in on the whole 'IT'S RUBBISH!' bandwagon after watching a video, please don't go on Saturday, because evidently you won't want to ride it anymore and it means I don't have to queue for long periods...I refuse to watch the video, but people basing an entire ride experience based on watching it in the comfort of your own home is stupid... Simple as...

Secondly, why are people not allowed an opinion if it's not positive? I will evaluate the ride when I go on it later in the year but currently I'm going on what everyone who likes it too is going on, a poorly presented video with a site that looks like a construction site.The ride might surprise me-I still think the indoor drop in Saw is the best part...
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86677 Am I in the best position then as I don't want to see a video of an incomplete ride area and a ride with its effects off. I've never seen a reaction to a ride be so negative to be honest.
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86678 I must say I think the ride looks fantastic, and just as excited if not more so than before. :)Can't wait to ride on Saturday, but I agree the area didn't look anywhere near finished.
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86679 Well its marketed like its gods gift, so thats what I want to expect. From that video it looks like a dull and boring piece of **** other than the drop thing. I'm in a **** mood anyway so that might not be helping the issue.

I don't want to watch the video, but you were expecting good presenting from an ITV show? Hah... ITV have some of the worst show presenters ever... Never said people can't have a poor opinion, it's just the silly amounts of backlash an unfinished ride has got 3 days before it's due to be open to the public just because of a single report on it featuring the ECC...
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86681 Also, it's rumored the inside section when its actually open will last longer and "do" more
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86682 They never showed whatever that long piece of track sticking out of the building was..
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86683 I was on the Alton Towers facebook page and someone asked how tall you had to be.Thirteen is 1.2 metres (isnt that the same as corkscrew?)
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86692 People have to remember that this ride is classified as a "junior coaster". So the height won't be 1.4 and it wont be majourly fast. It still looks amazing though!

March 17, 201015 yr comment_86696 I have to admit I'm am rather disapointed looking at the video from GMTV, when I saw the tree's and wraiths and things I thought ooh the theming on this will be great just as in previous rides however it doesn't look all that well themed tbh, it just looks like a steel building with no theming from what I could see on the inside, however granted there where no effects or lights so hopefully they can redeem themselves and the outside, all equiptment and mud eveverywhere makes it look really untidy and as previously said unfinished so they need to tidy up to.Another reason I was expecting something spectacular was going about this worlds first element and the ride being a pshyco coaster for the thrill market but from what I could see the ride was tame and looked aimed at children just as previous rides to me, the drop inside wasn't very high at all and seemed pathetic to me and just the ride in general didn't seem scary, I will see what other people say and such when the park finally opens as I am reconsidering visitng the park now.As for people saying basing it on a video, the video is supposed to give you an idea of what the ride is like and from what I can it doesn't look very good, however they have the chance to redeam themselves through use of effects and theming inside and tiding up.
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86700 A couple of points I've just noticed from watching the video again, the interviewer didn't even seem to notice or realise what the worlds first element was and surely with a drop like you would have thought it would give the ride a completely different feel and vibe :Sand also for all the people moaning on about oh don't go on about theming not finished and tools left everywhere and looking untidy ect because its not finished, well pardon me but that ride is supposed to be open in a matter of days, surely the ride should be ready by now!
March 17, 201015 yr comment_86701 I reckon that for the general public it will be a LOT scarier as the majority will not be expecting there to be a drop out of no where in the dark and then suddenly be heading backwards unless of course they watched GMTV I surpose that's a down side of being a fan of rides, Knowing too much! Ah well looking forward to it
