Mark9 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 This promises to be an extraordinary construction. There is a BLUE pipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam T Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 The fact track will be arriving in under 3 weeks is shocking with the state of that site, but I have no doubt as them workers are working their bums off recently! The site is completely transformed from the site 3 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've heard aswell that construction is running behind because of a problem and that it may not open in time for the new season... But we'll see as it's only a rumour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob230 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've heard aswell that construction is running behind because of a problem and that it may not open in time for the new season... But we'll see as it's only a rumour Yeah same rumour as with The Swarm, Th13teen and Storm Surge, but they all opened on time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 That 'problem' is no doubt linked to the absolutely god awful weather we had recently which would have made the area unworkable for safety reasons... DO NOT SPREAD RUMOURS THAT IT WILL NOT OPEN ON TIME! Quite frankly they are rubbish, as I have no doubts in my mind that the timeframe for construction will not only have been rejigged due to the lost time, but also would have initially given some leeway in case of such a situation... These companies know what they're doing... There is no reason to think it won't open with the new season unless they're still building the bloody thing in March 2013..

Benin Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Personally, a darker shade would suit the theme of X Sector better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I do know that they have had problems with the earth in the construction site though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam T Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The state of that floor after being under a tent for 24 years must of been horrible! Is their also a chance that the last piece of the black hole which is still their is causing a problem, I think someone said it was a substation and I'm not sure if they tried and remove it recently cause Dark Forest & X-Sector had a power cut, if thats the cause, its a pain in a bottom to either, build another substation or wait till close season to cut the power and build that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles1 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 They could also do without power and get the guests to give it a push start, it could work mah boi and c1hrisin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 A really poorly photoshopped (probably fan made) promotional image? Isn't that Saw being used on there? Hah! Look at the outrageous headbanging going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Are you Rob from TST? If not they are not yours to use. EDIT. I've seen you have edited in a credit to make this post not make sense, but Rob has specifically asked in his first post in the construction thread that his photos are not used like this, they are for TST and you should link to that site to share them.

mah boi Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have a feeling things should start kicking off in the days to come, maybe tomorrow concerning the foundations. But does anybody who has been to alton towers in the past few days and has ridden oblivion, know how deep that hole closest to the trees is?
