Track Arrives at Alton Towers
Track has arrived for SW6 and it's confirmed to be an Intamin family coaster. It seems it will be a version of the Motorbike/Jet Ski coaster (not the LSM Aqua Trax). My guess is it will probably have a tyre launch, if anything. |

I think it's going to be the Mega Lite with the reverse section. From the plannin that we have seen, the layout hints to a Mega Lite...I'm getting more and more excited about this coaster (and for once, not because it's an Intamin). Tim. |

Re: Track Arrives at Alton Towers
If you look at the October 10th pictures on Towers Nerd, the frame has been built that contains the reverser section. As one is directly underneath the other, I believe we're looking at a pivot system, ie. the world's first is that the track drops - the pivot point is in front of the train, and the train rolls backwards down the slope.
