Valentez Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure they won't be removing anything, but it would be nice to open it up a bit. But why? X Sector is meant to be a dark and intimidating place, the close proximity of all the outlets, attractions, features and theming all plays into this idea nicely. The trees also add a towering and eerie backdrop to the area helping it give off the "sinister" and "forbidden" look in which John Wardley mentions in the Magic Factory.

Mark9 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure they won't be removing anything, but it would be nice to open it up a bit. It would be nice to have lots of things. Losing trees would just open Oblivion up to more criticism from the Ropers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I swear they've not been involved in any spates recently... Part of me thinks this is because they moved away, not that Towers could change anything back on Oblivion because of being under a court order... I think...

Last I heard they had some neighbour issues of their own, ironically complaining about the noise from the Ropers own factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yeah I remember their pottery factory being complained about shortly after they'd started another campaign against Towers... Since then it's all been quiet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 New construction photos here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151497473001201.1073741825.21765316200&type=1 Looks nice! holtjammy16 and Whiteknuckle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 That corkscrew looks like a very tight transition... But in other news the photos do look very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentez Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 The middle part of the spider thingy is hiding behind the tree in the foreground. Possible comment of the week next to the picture too......"Does it go upside down?" although in my old age I can't tell whether it's trolling or genuine anymore to be honest!

Ricky Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Is this a competition of how slow can they build a ride? They seem to install an inversion every other week. Still no sign of either lifts despite them building the centre of the ride :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saz Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 ^Some comments also raised concern that the track suddenly ended. I also hope that this was trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just seen a picture of the aerial shots from TowersTimes, I called it right! They have put the Smiler logo over the existing Fanta branding! Looks so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah I remember their pottery factory being complained about shortly after they'd started another campaign against Towers... Since then it's all been quiet... It's got quiet as it has been proven that their pottery factory makes more noise than Oblivion - so my guess is now the local residents are standing up to them they know if they stop Oblivion, they're pottery factory would be stopped as well! holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Starting to get really excited for this, it looks so twisted and evil Hoping to go to the towers in the summer but really want to go earlier! The only thing I can complain about is that it's a eurofighter and if it ages anything like Saw then those inversions will not be fun.. Maybe the different trains will stop this happening.

EC! Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm guessing by the time the park opens in 2 days we will start to see lifthill construction and maybe the start of the sea serpent. fingers crossed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Almost the entire track has gone from the carpark, so I imagine we'll see almost/entire track up on sat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
