    Some people think Rita is going to be the site of SW9. I don’t agree with the demolition of Rita but the dark forest does need something else there

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +6

      True, there is the old site of the Ug Swinger that could be used, but also if the entrance of Rita was moved/re-routed, then they could have a flat ride in the centre of Rita's layout.

    • @owviralavenger5915
      @owviralavenger5915 5 років тому

      I think they will it will be replaced by the escape an in Tamil spinning coaster containing a 60mph launch and 2 inversions a vertical loop and corkscrew it will be themed to escaping the dark forest just like rita

    • @zuntmotivation
      @zuntmotivation 5 років тому +1

      I think we need a flat ride at dark forest, Alton Towers has record breaking coasters, but lacks flat rides

    • @PowersTowersProductions

      We need lots of flats across the park to be honest.

    @peterb6382 6 років тому +52

    Could SW9 be at the site of Nemesis Sub Terra? Just a guess as that things been sitting there doing nothing for years.

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +6

      Its quite a small site sadly. However if the tree height limit didn't exist then the entrance to forbidden valley would be a perfect location for a tall imposing coaster. I'd like to see a winged cross valley coaster come soon!

    • @LorddexGAMNG
      @LorddexGAMNG 6 років тому

      Peter Brown the plot seems too small ,the runaway minetrain or spinball maybe next to get the axe ,but probably not soon due to money issues with merlin

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому

      At the beginning it did struggle, but as time went on, it did become one of the more reliable rides on the park. It's made by B&M, a byword for reliability in the industry!

  • @Westonai
    @Westonai 6 років тому +4

    I believe that SW9 could replace Sonic Spinball (I know its not called that now but its more memorable) as it doesn't get as many riders as it did. It could be like air/galactica where the ride is the same but it adds some components

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +1

      I doubt it to be honest. I think Spinball Whizzer will either go or be moved in favour of expanding Cbeebies Land.

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +1

      I think the answer to that would be a pit, but backwards does take away from the thrill. Maybe a triple launcher like John Broome once had in mind?

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +2

      It's still 1.4m. The measuring can be a bit off sometimes. My recommendation is to go to the resort box office and get yourself officially measured. If you are of the height you will be given a wrist band to show to ride ops.

    • @siabell
      @siabell 5 років тому +1

      I'm pretty sure that's John Wardley's first installation at the park in 1992, along with the Runaway Mine Train, correct me if I'm wrong though... I think given what a huge influence he's had on the fortunes of the park, they might keep that one in forever then maybe dedicate it to him when he's no longer with us (even though he hated the transformation into Duel)

  • @hypnopyr9084
    @hypnopyr9084 5 років тому +1

    I’m a total wimp when it comes to anything scary, like I refuse to ride 13 or any other horror related rides. But for some reason I’m fine with the smiler and only find it slightly unnerving and it’s by far my favourite ride ever!

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  5 років тому

      To be honest, the horror themes of Merlin rides tend to be very tame.

    @McPizzaPerson 6 років тому +9

    I reckon Spinball Whizzer should be removed and the site should be used for SW9, & I should hope SW9 will be a thrill coaster. Because it would just be ridiculous to see *another* family coaster! Mind you though if they did add another family coaster as SW9, it won't be all bad because SW10 will *have* to be something big!

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  6 років тому +1

      If Spinball Whizzer is removed, it is likely the area will be subsumed into Cbeebies Land.

    • @McPizzaPerson
      @McPizzaPerson 6 років тому

      True, maybe SW9 could go into Cloud Cuckoo Land

    • @aidan7459
      @aidan7459 6 років тому

      McPizzaPerson no, because a secret weapon is a new, ground-breaking ride and usually a world or Europe's first.

    • @emmamorrison6033
      @emmamorrison6033 6 років тому

      If Spinball whizzer was to be replaced by SW9 then it absolutely should be replaced by another family ride seems as it already is one (1.2 limit). If however SW9 was to go on the sub terra site, then yes, definitely a thrill ride. Xx

    Smiler didn’t reopen in March it actually reopened in fireworks 2015 I was there and it was running with people on it

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  5 років тому

      Numerous sources have all confirmed that The Smiler reopened in March 2016. There is no record of it running at any point in time during 2015 after the accident.

  • @CherriHuscoonVA
    @CherriHuscoonVA 5 років тому

    Kind of a little talked about point (and not to do with secret weapons), but I would love to see Alton towers revisit some of those older unused flat ride concepts for the dark forest and X-Sector.
    Namely these two:
    towersstreet.com/gallery/history/plans-and-concepts/dark_forest/IMG_2961.JPG.html
    towersstreet.com/gallery/history/plans-and-concepts/dark_forest/DSC03563.JPG.html
    The first (with some theming changes to make it fit in with either the Smiler or Oblivion's design aesthetic), might work well in the area of the X-Sector that is currently only inhabited by food stands and other miscellaneous structures, and considering the removal of Submission in 2013, it would be a very welcome addition in my opinion. As an indoor flat-ride using strobe lights and other visual effects, I think it would fit really well with the Smiler's theme of marmalization and overwhelming the senses. As for names, maybe... "The Spinner", considering it sounds very Smiler-esque, like a leg of the Marmalizer.
    The second works fine with its design as laid out in the concept, and could maybe sit within the loops of Rita, or maybe next to it? Its theme could be based around machinery left in the dark forest, gaining a mind of its own due to the forest's powers, and tormenting park guests. Tbh, I think putting it into the space between the loop in Rita, could also kind of help enhance Rita's theming in a way too, with it seeming as if during your ride on Rita, you only narrowly escape another danger of the dark forest.
    I dunno, just some random ideas.

    • @PowersTowersProductions
      @PowersTowersProductions  5 років тому

      This sounds like a brilliant idea, as these two areas will more than likely never be able to fit a 3rd coaster in, but supporting flats are always a welcome addition. Your ideas and concepts are very interesting and would be a great starting point for any Towers employees watching, HINT HINT!!

  • @Glunic
    @Glunic 5 років тому

    I think SW9 should be built in the dark forest since that has the tallest trees and it would twist around and loop within rita and th13teen plus it would be built by rmc cause it would be a raptor or trex type

      You should've if possible. It's honestly worser now.
      If the feeling is to make you feel like your in space it's not doing it very well. Bad graphics in VR. Somewhat bumpy due to ride being old and the fact that your mot in a casual of some kind isn't realistic or immersive in anyway
      It's the reason why air was so great. You could easily hold your arms out in fists like superman and feel like him. It worked like that. Now it's bad

      That is a possibility, but I think unlikely. The key issue that area has is proximity to the local villages. Oblivion and The Smiler are plagued by the same issues. Maybe we might see something designed to reduce noise from a rides of that type of help facilitate installation.
