March 20, 20169 yr comment_230125 Worlds first TV reality show themed ride. That's already at Thorpe Park!
March 21, 20169 yr comment_230146 How many pages will this thread get to before we have any further actual news other than the SW8 fences at AT? I reckon 30.
March 21, 20169 yr comment_230165 Well we are currently running at just under one page per day (11 pages /13 days ) so I estimate that we will have 150 pages by the time we get some solid news (I.e. planning permission) as they normally put planning permission in around the end of august beginning September a year and a half before it goes live if they are planning a SW.
March 21, 20169 yr comment_230169 Well as of today we have a fence promising further development and SW8, behind which the only work is that Flume itself has been drained. The board with the queue time is even switched on and visible over the wall but thankfully showing unavailable on it...
March 30, 20169 yr comment_230786 It's not directly related to SW8 but does anyone know if the ride hosts on other rides are told what SW8 is going to be? I've been arguing in the YouTube comments with a guy who is adamant that he's been told by his ride host friend what SW8 is. Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk

March 30, 20169 yr comment_230789 Arguiung in comments with other people because it's a waste of time. DONT DO IT! I think we all know SW8 by now is going to be an Aquatrax.
March 30, 20169 yr comment_230790 The staff will start rumouring just like us. They will be updated in time about future developments but not until the park itself is ready to announce anything as they know, with staff like that they could be part of a forum and post what they know or just tell one person which then becomes 2 and so on.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230978 Just a thought. If this is going to be a wooden roller coaster or an RMC that doesn't have a world first feature then I don't think it will end up with the codename SW8. The coasters that have been giving an SW are all world first coasters (apart from Nemesis but it was a Europe's first). But if this is going to be a world first wooden coaster then they'll definitely codemane it SW8. Any ideas for world first wooden coasters?
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230982 Worlds first inverted wooden roller coaster! Maybe not... Worlds first vertical drop wooden roller coaster! Knowing Alton Towers, Probably...
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230983 World's first without a world first. Would be nice really. Just focus on a good nice themed ride and a distinctive image and it's sorted.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230984 (apart from Nemesis but it was a Europe's first).Air wasn't a world's first either. It was Europe's first flying coaster, not the world's.I suppose you could argue that air is the world's first B&M flying coaster though! The longer we wait for an announcement, the more I pray that SW8 will be an RMC. I'm sure AT would settle for a Europe's first with an RMC too. E.G: Europe's first launched wooden coaster or Europe's first wave turn Etc. Also, it makes me laugh how Google maps has already labelled SW8 and this picture shows off the space AT have to work with.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230988 Worlds first vertical drop wooden rollercoaster...Worlds first VR vertical drop, 16 inverting, 4D wooden Rollercoaster [emoji6]
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230989 Also, it makes me laugh how Google maps has already labelled SW8 and this picture shows off the space AT have to work with.This is actually true!Unless is Google doing the April Fools.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_230991 This is actually true! Unless is Google doing the April Fools. Nope most probally someone from another fan site/ live blog updating it for their location settings on the map.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231003 Take the bad banter out of the SW8 thread please Once again please take the bad banter out of the SW8 thread or I will just start deleting posts Feel free to make a 'World's first' Merlin bashing 'banter' topic in the nonsense sub-forum
April 1, 20169 yr comment_231011 Nope most probally someone from another fan site/ live blog updating it for their location settings on the map.Are you saying someone can just change place names, etc. on Google maps then?I'm guessing that means this source isn't really reliable.
