I hope this had made it into the final plans, i've heard the opening date may have been moved to May..? Has AT confirmed this as its not on their website, I'll wait till later in the year to visit the park if "Smiler" is not open in March.

. It's just not going to happen ha.
Hahahahah. It's so ridiculous.nadroJ said:
Well, it looks like it, it's on the official promotional image and it's kind of a key feature on that. I know that's not like 100% confirmation, but it's one of the main theming elements of the ride.Kebab said:
Yeah, but the biggest difference is the fact that GForce's track is simply the inverting lift, whereas this would have to be a sort of inline, or the washing machine element, leading to an inverted piece of track, or it'd be a launch of 1m, that was my pointCrazycoaster said:

Just noticed those dangling wires from the spider thing in that art. I hope they are on the real thing, swaying in the wind. Details like that can really transform static theming.

First time I drove past that, I was thinking 'wtf was that?!' So now we might have the 'inspiration' for the spider. Interesting choice Merlin

That specific sculpture looks more like something that would be in the Forbidden Valley. A surveillance structure built from the debris from the Nemesis Event.
Cos you know, Alton Towers was doing renovations and of course released some evil from it.

^Yes, but what Nick P's saying is that the spider themeing was relesed after the video was uploaded.
