The site for SW6 is ready for building on! The removal of Corkscrew is now complete and we expect work will begin shortly on removing sections of land for the station for the foundations for supports.

Alton Towers have submitted plans to the local council for the removal of the Corkscrew and the installation of a new rollercoaster for the 2010 season. Plans for the rollercoaster make the ride look huge, no manufacture is listed for the ride but the layout like very windy around the woods.
The theme for the ride looks to be around a grave yard / abandoned building. In the plans submitted, we can see some of the theming we can expect to see when the project is finished.
We look forward to seeing the finished product!
