Ok, so its clear from the aerial photo posted here http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/sw7/cont ... #msg687376 (sorry didnt want to steal the pic?!!) that the pit as seen on the right in the photo is the entrance to the cobra roll and the pit on the left which has the little metre high wall around it and is at a slight angle is for the exit.
This is clear from the plans as below which shows the exit of the cobra is angled away slightly - pretty much confirming that atleast this section of track is the same as whats on the plans
And I guess the pit which is currently being pumped water out of to the left again of the exit pit will be entirely underneath the station "canopy" area.

That doesn't really fit in at all. You've just superimposed the plans over something that looks completely different. The left side of the pit on that image is not a mirror of the right side, something you would expect with an element like the cobra/batwing which are symmetrical. They appear to have cut the pit off on the left side at a diagonal, and there are not nearly as many footers there than on the right side either.

I hear what you are saying... this is my interpretation - the image i created admittedly is rubbish but all i could achieve on the laptop - but i still think it shows what i'm getting at. You say that you would expect the cobra to mirror and be symmetrical - yes of course, but the track from the exit of the cobra clearly veers off to the left, as shown in the image below.
the superimposed image i posted fits this veer very nicely indeed. Also, there are clear footer foundations in the middle of it all for the entrance and exit of the batwing.
Again, just my interpretation - but i think its pretty valid!!
This is probably random to the current discussion but I thought it would be worth sharing;
Apologies if this has already been speculated
The current phrase/slogan of SW7 is "New World Beating Rollercoaster". Which to most of us is quite a unique way of putting across how 'super-duper' the new ride is going to be. However the term beating is used when mixing together the egg yolk and the egg white. The colour scheme of the hypnotic faces are yellow and white, so far that's two references to the egg theory(as odd as that sounds).
What also caught my eye whilst on-park a while back when Spinball was closed (during SW7 hype) a sign across the gate mentioning 'eggman' causing problems (obviously a Sonic character) but with the closeness of the two coasters, could we be seeing a sequel ride to that of the somewhat out of place Sonic Spinball?
I hope not, but could this mean the Giant spider theming is some sort of destructive robot/machine housing 'Dr. Robotnik' aka Eggman?
Does "The doctor will see you now" sound familiar?
Hopefully my return has been somewhat useful

Normally Eggman/Shadow is the one with the weapons. So I highly doubt the 1% chance anyway. But SW could be Sonic's/Scratch's/Silver's Weapon. Even as a gamer I might have to agree with Danny there. *Waits for a enraged Eddie's response*
I could see Alton wanting to keep it, I'm still in hope for the area retheme in 2014 to be Sonic-based as Kerrigan expressed Alton's love for IP's at a certain birthday do and the area retheme is assumed to be Adventure/Storybook Land as it is for the family. But now I'm going off topic.
But a genius idea with Robotnik-Kelman nonetheless but I think it'd take a while for the GP to make the Sonic connection but dat image. I do think we would of had a bit more reference to Sonic right now though.

I'm not angry at you, don't worry

But why?! It's such a great franchise
But seriously though, I really can not see SW7 being Sonic themed, it sounds so bizarre! To me all the themeing doesn't look like anything related to Sonic. The spider monster looks like the giant robots from War of the worlds, rather than something from Sonic. I'd be surprised if Alton approached SEGA wanting to Theme SW7 to Sonic, however I wouldn't be surprised if it were the other way round since SEGA are trying to get the blue hedgehog back on his feet.
What makes it even stranger is that there's no Sonic game announced for next year (yet). What I mean is that when Spinball Whizzer was rethemed to Sonic Spinball, it was sort of tied in to Sonic and SEGA all stars racing (which came out a week or two before the start of the 2010 season) but since there's no Sonic game coming out in March, I find it quite strange...
You lot may think I sound crazy, But I don't want SW7 to be Sonic themed. It just doesn't seem right and all the Nineteen Eighty-Four theme style suggestions sound a lot better.
I'm sorry, but isn't it obvious? X-sector. EGGS - SECTOR
Everyones been wanting a Adventure Land retheme for ages, here it is, combined with X- sector.
Oblivion's going to be painted bright orange, to match Sonic Spinball, and that'll also tie in with the Fanta Sponsorship thats coming back!
Sorry for the sarcasm... I'm just thinking a sonic theme, for such a new, dark and twisted coaster is so.. never going to happen. Sonic's aimed at kids- SW7's not.
