There's something fishy about all of this...

It breaks down rather frequently. Sometimes if you go up to the front desk a day or two later and ask, they'll take you backstage through the staff areas so you can do the boat ride (they also let me re-ride the drop tower). It was pretty cool to see backstage too! Of course this isn't...

Gone, reduced to atoms.

Haha, all in good faith, I didn't mean anything by it. I will say that I too am a big fan of the original soundtrack but I'm excited to see where they're going with the new one! As much as the old soundtrack was great, like everything to do with this project, a refresh to fit the new theme...

Trooper Looper not being a fan of something old changing? I must've stumbled into another dimension.

In the octagon, just as the lightning happened, some drops of water used to drop on guests. I think it was removed because it was degrading the floor or something, but I'm sure somebody will correct me on that

It doesn't particularly seem to be running faster. I timed 5 on and off ride videos of the pre-retrack and got a time of about 25.624 seconds after it disengages from the lift hill chain until the first car reaches the peak of the loop. The two new testing videos were pretty much the exact same...

It's almost a little jarring to see Patrick talking in English after watching so much of Die Baudokumentation. The trains look fantastic though!

I wonder if there have been any upgrades to the sound/show system(s). I think the extended closure was due to a mechanical fault, not for refurb work, if I'm not mistaken?

check off your 2023 bingo card that the backstory includes the phrase "routine excavation"

ICYMI: The new logo. Colours seem to be interchangeable.

I can't help but wonder if they've found something which needs sorting in the station roof. Perhaps it was in worse condition than they had previously anticipated?

It's going to have the be a markedly... *simple* escape room if it's going to be solved in seven minutes. I assume they're targeting 6 run-throughs per hour accounting for reset time. Doesn't seem... great?

Will personally be sad to see the Galactica music go :(... the rest of the "theming" I have no problem with leaving behind, mind.

From reddit thread: From: https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/15ss9za/is_alton_towers_getting_an_rmc_coaster/ Could be just some classic RMC trolling though :P

their first sold t-rex coaster, one would assume.

As it happens, I'm in the very early stages of planning a trip myself; current plan is to do two days at Phantasialand (staying in the charles lindburgh hotel) and then two days in europa and a half-day in Rulantica. Of course, the Phantasialand tickets and meals are all sorted with the hotel...

Indeed! It has a few votes you can participate in; the little pop up in the bottom right [(Whoa! Those are some cool T-Shirts! Who wants one?) -> (Cool! I want Patrick's shirt!) / (I think Lukas's shirt is way cooler!) ] which says "Nice, thanks for your interest. Maybe I should become a fashion...

RE: Capacity, when we were there we measured dispatches roughly every 3 minutes (generously, assuming nothing went wrong), which was with relatively experienced riders since we all entered the competition. That's 560pph, but it might be worse with GP, breakdowns, people not wanting to go back...
