Sorry for the double post, but we have confirmation.


Full documents added to application.

Do we have an idea on any theming? The planning application hasn’t had any documents uploaded to it yet, so at this time there isn’t anything that would point towards any potential theme. I doubt there will be very much in the way of theming. From that document it appears that the ride will be call...

Surely they couldn't have put it out without someone at Pleasure Beach checking and Okaying it. It is most likely a publicity stunt to cause a bit of controversy and get people talking about it. Then pass it off as a mistake to get around any false advertising claims. Definitely "inspired by&qu...

Looks like pleasure beach have been taking advertising tips from Merlin.

Old Town has kind of had development. I mean Lumber Jump and Timber Tug are the most epic rides ever

Maybe they will continue to develop that area and keep the "Lumber" "Timber" theme going with a woodie replacing Logger's Leap.

...Wodan had flame effects at the top of it's lift for some time?

So did Terminator Salvation/Apocalypse.

Just noticed from the video, the date reads backwards

I didn't notice any dates that read backwards? Could you provide a screenshot?

It doesn't read backwards, it just reads the same forwards as it does backwards, 8118. But it is spaced to only read forward 8-1-18 (8th January 2018)

I think the fact that up until this point there has been no mention of there being a "world first" is pretty indicative of its relative insignificance. Therefore, I can't imagine it will be a "world first" in relation to the actual ride system/hardware, but perhaps something mor...

I'm 99.999999..% sure that the rams head is on the back of a human-like head. You can see the shape of a humanoid head behind it. Those saying it will have two faces are correct I'm pretty sure. Which would still give the ride the Wickerman name. Also, take note of the banking of the track coming o...

Just thought I'd post this here after not seeing it on the forum and seeing it on a group. The website PicSolve that do the photos for Alton Towers Rides, had the name 'The Wickerman' in the code of their website, confirming the name of SW8. It has since been removed and changed to 'SW8'. Here is a...

This video  is linked to on the SW8/Welcoming site - what's up with the music? I can't tell if it's just music from the welcoming, or if it's the first glimpse we might be getting of the ride's soundtrack. Sounds... weird  :| It sounds something out of Dark Forest aha, I didn't go to Scarefest this...

For those of you who can't wait for ITV to fix that video, here it is.  Apologise for the very quiet audio but you should be able to hear it ok. 4wasu_iYVt0 It sounds like they are going for something similar to Hex experience wise. Obviously i'm not implying that a coaster will give the same exper...

This is the video that was on the itv news site, contains drone footage of the coaster, and timelapse of the construction.

I thoight we already knew the name? Its all over google, pr atleast the supposed trademarked named with logo is on google, also on the code bit has anyone figured out the rest of the letters to decode the bit on the bottom of the welcome page? If we're both talking about the same thing here, then i...

A video of yesterday's PR stunt in London has now been released, not that there's really anything too significant in it. So they got some people to walk into a thing and started waving their hands in their faces?  :-s A bit weird they don't really seem to be following the film all that much. But th...

That is very deep :) It also saves disappointment too, although one thing is certain, it is another coaster and that I welcome! Me too. I like the fact also that John Wardley says this will be an immersive experience not just about the ride transit system. Sounds like we are getting what enthusiast...
