Hello readers!

Alton Towers had quite a big announcement today as the name of SW6 (Secret Weapon Six)  was announced; it was announced as TH13TEEN!  From the official TH13TEEN website:

“Thirteen will be based on the discovery of an unearthed ancient burial site in an area of unexplored woodland known as the Dark Forest.

Built on the site of the old Corkscrew rollercoaster, visitors will be invited to take a petrifying ride on Thirteen, venturing into the seemingly living and breathing Dark Forest. There they will face an unknown horror that has been unleashed from the ancient crypt.

The ride has been developed with the world’s leading coaster and thrill consultants who have collaborated to combine the ultimate elements of physical and psychological fear – to create what experts are dubbing a ‘psychoaster’.”

It’ll be interesting to see how this coaster turns out.  From the pictures and videos on the site, it looks to be pretty well themed.  Let’s hope it turns out this way!

Until next time,
