Well I don't think it will be launched, though it could have a backward launch? Tilt track?
Maybe the dark forest theme will come to light?
Maybe that is what the backwards Oblivion picture was refering to? It shown tilt track and a backwards vertical drop, doubt it would go that deep as the building isn't tall enough for a verticle drop or is it?
I'm not expecting a full on Thrill coaster, Alton in the last few years have tried the family market and tbh I think it is pulling off. I am hoping for a ride that thrills but can be enjoyed that just more than the 1.4+ people. Look at corkscrew, that was a so called family coaster, so maybe this will be too.
Don't all expect a high thrill coaster eg Oblivion, Nemesis, Rita as I think you will be disapointed. Just view it with an open mind and you may be pleasantly suprised.
