They are going for the cryptic message strategy but clearly shows that they are clueless...

Whoever is running this Doctor Kelman account has obviously spent a lot of time looking at Phalanx Control's tweets from last year, as they have the same sort of cryptic answers.
Also, they appear to be following a lot of randomers instead of just the usual geeks which means they're getting a lot of tweets to answer.

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
just going back to the covered van. It cant be the ambulance, The nose is the wrong shape for a 1981 Ford Transit/Hanlon ambulance, and there is no step in the bodywork behind the cab doors or two bumps on roof. blue light above driver at the front and one on the near side at the back of the roof.
The ambulance used in the video was an ex West Yorkshire vehicle with the reg number of cub476y.

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Notice how the cover has been designed specifically for that vehicle?all the straps are positioned to make it "figure hugging" - they wanted the shape of it to be clearly on show.Sammy said:siralgenon said:Dave said:It's an old fashioned ambulance, you can see the sign at the front.
Or it could be an ice cream van, that would be amusing if its got bog all to do with SW7 and was just one of the ice cream vans
The van isn't the Ambulance used in the video - I looked back at the clip and the shape is quite different.
Because it is clearly an Ice Cream Van!! I mean, it's shaped exactly like an Ice Cream Van, believe you me, after TT@10, I know that van when I see it! I actually think Towers might just be doing this to have us on you know!

The van is parked down the staff road (near Express parking), so the only people who will see it are staff, it just seems a strange place to leave it if it is related to SW7, they have plenty of space around the theme park or even at Merlin studios (where it has probably came from).
It could be one of the ice cream vans, there is no reason why they wouldnt cover it up all closed season, otherwise it will be just left there for 4 months getting covered in dirt, mug and mould. But once again its a strange place to store the ice cream van.
Anyway new photos taken today:
New delivery since last week in the car park:
The staff car park is starting to look very empty, meaning alot of the track is now on site, or even put up!
Meanwhile whats this I see?
There are a few more photos on the Towers Street Facebook page.

Hmmm, doesn't look like much change since the marketing photo was released? Unless it's a completely different part of the coaster, although not being able to tell where the photo was taken from I can't be sure. Great pics though

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Going by the that last photo it looks like the the first drop into the underground section. You can just see the fried chicken place in the background. The photo looks like it was taken from the opposite side of the photo Alton towers posted of batwing cobra roll. Maybe wrong just my first impression.
