Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Now that is good, I like! I'd imagine they've done similar in numerous different locations, hopefully some more photos might appear over the coming days or weeks. People are certainly going to be intrigued by what it possibly could be.

If that QR code leads to the website which it probably will, then they need to re-do the website, because I'm sorry, but to somebody who doesn't know a thing about SW7, they wouldn't be intrigued by/remember the website at all, they'd see the logo and the picture and probably instantly go off the website. It's good to see it in Non-Merlin places now though, and I like the fact that people who don't scan the QR code will recognise it when it's finally on TV adverts too.

It looks like the knot to me, you can see Oblivion's turnaround in the bottom of the picture. The things that intrigues me are the colours- the yellow and blue. Most likely they are to do with the construction, but could they be something else? Can someone suggest a purpose? And that other bit of track behind the tree is weird- maybe it's yet to be put up.

Looks like most of the 'knot' is done, they seem to be attaching part of the cobra roll in that picture.
As for music, I'd expect something on a similar line to Oblivion, but with a more industrial feel to it. I imagine some sort of Trent Reznor style thing going on.
I was more excited by the Joy Formidable posters.JAMMYD778 said:

Feeling hopeful that there's been quite a bit done, especially looking at the track in the middle that's slightly hidden by the tree second from left.

Looks to me like a worker on a cherry picker in a high vis.

EDIT: Beaten to it
I thought the yellow was a hi-vis Jacket, and the blue was a safety helmet or hard hat, whatever you want to call it? I be wrong though...Nick said:It looks like the knot to me, you can see Oblivion's turnaround in the bottom of the picture. The things that intrigues me are the colours- the yellow and blue.

Just a heads up... Two lorries arrived today from Romania. Haven't got a clue what was inside them. One was empty and looked like it had dropped something off. Unsure aswell about the second lorry.

Re: Secret Weapon 7 Discussion Continued
Maybe there really is a secret element in their once the in line twist is completed. Although after looking at it again the twist seems really drawn out so would there be room for something else?

Speaking of their image though god knows why they have obscured the indoor in-line twist.

There isn't any trick-track on this ride, no-matter what other sites say. Makes very little sense to me.
