A History of Secret Weapons - Alton Towers 

SW9: The Flume: RELOADED

I hope they never close the nemesis down.. it's one of my favorite rides of all time.. and I live in the USA

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

The secret weapon programme, the gift that keeps on giving! Great video, love the passion and v well executed. Keep them coming!

SW7/ The Smiler I can remember was on the back of loads Krave boxes...

They need a b&m floor less or a 4th dimension coaster and thope need a modern dive coaster

Nemesis is secreltly a doctor who story then

Sw9 replaces Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is a wing coaster

SW9 is going to be underground inbetween 13 and galactica

I've Been On The First Ever Scary Roller Coaster Nemesis At Alton Towers Theme Park Back In Summer 2016. It Was Super Awesome Fantastic Roller Coaster In The World. Thanks Power Towers Productions Mate. X

When you said wicker man the captions say wicked ham

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

Air one of MOst Reliable Rides lol.... never in the memory of man ,, everyday breaking down ,,

SW9 would be called CuckooCoaster in Cloud Cuckoo Land

I have a feeling sw9 will replace Rita and possibly be a Mack megacoaster?

I would like Alton Towers to get a junior lopping coaster

I remember the nemesis pop, it was awful tased like cough medicine (but that’s what I always associate liquorice and black currant with)

I really don't see them getting rid of any current coasters for SW9, they're all too loved and popular. I'd like to see a winged coaster in Dark forest (which is kind of lacking at the moment).

I've Been On The First Ever Scary Roller Coaster Oblivion At Alton Towers Theme Park Back In August 2016. It Was Super Awesome Fantastic Roller Coaster Along With Nemesis. Thanks Power Towers Productions Mate. X

I've Might Go On Wicker Man Roller Coaster At Alton Towers Next Year In 2020. Thanks Mate. X

Maybe SW9 could be the world first backwards launched wing coaster and it could stay low to the ground, this is just an idea

We all just gonna ignore the fact that oblivion literally has changing rooms next to the exit of the ride

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

Wait, howcome Galactica (air) used to be 1.4m? Now It's 1.3m and I know because they denied me on nemesis and The Smiler but not Galactica

Hopefully sometime the smiler will return to its former glory. I remember riding it when it first opened and I loved it. Very disheartening to see its state continuing to decline as well as the story that it had all across X-Sector dropped.

Brilliant video, keep up the good work

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!

Everyone talking about removing Rita, or Sub-Terra (though that's now used for Project 42) or Spinball or the Mine Train. Meanwhile i'm staring at Duel and it's eternal 0 minute queue. It's time was up decades ago.

They should put something in cloud cuckoo land as loads of the best rides have shut there

I think Alton should add a wing coaster or a Intamin blitz

Still love this video 2 years later!

I’m in the future and it turns out sw9 is actually gonna be a rollercoaster that can change positions

Everyone's talking about SW9 3 years ago. Me now excited to go and see the land of David Walliams

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!

*The Smiler Will Rise.*

Amazing video I love SW things! ^^

congrats on1k

How did the smiler change after the crash?

I love all of your videos and you really put time and effort in and I think it’s really amazing

I would like to see a space themed area where galactica is and get rid of a bit of the car park and add some flat rides

And well done for *1k* that's great

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.

I honestly wish i went on air before it got turned into virtual reality

Great video! Very informative!

I thought I kept hearing *In the hall of the mountain king* in every single shop

Did you know that Ug-land lasted until 2009, even after the closure of corkscrew up until the opening of 13?

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

My Top 5 Coasters At Atr 1:Nemesis 2:Wicker Man 3: The Smiler 4:Oblivion 5: TH13TEEN

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

I would love a Mack launched or something similar

SW9 Should be on runaway mine train and be mega cool

SW9 should be a water coaster

SW9 OCTONAUTS ROLLERCOASTER REMASTERED

If I ever go to England to visit, I'll be sure to give the Towers a visit. I'm terrified of coasters though (I'm what you'd call a beginner enthusiast, haha). Does AT have a lot of room to expand? (or any?)

I've watched this five times what the hell

SW9: Name: Climber Main part: vertical uphill no chain lift it would be part of dark forest next to Rita

Is there a code name for Thunder Looper?

Air's idea-development : 1994 - 2006 Galactica: 2016 *you do realise you can ride air on rows 1 - 4, right?*

SW9 The Corky Screw

SW9 could be a stand up coaster 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I think SW9 willbe wherenemesis inferno is noe

I feel like spinball wizzer should make way for a new sw9

I have a theory that the next site for secret weapons with be cloud cookoo land. Since its gonna be the site to the Alton dungeon I think all the kids shit will be moved and it will become another thrill site. Maybe based around creepy shit that belongs in the dungeons.

I really don't think runaway mine train is leaving for SW9. Cause if that went, what would the kids do?

great video

The Gadget Show did not exist when Oblivion opened, more likely Tomorrow’s World

Sw9 cud be next to nemesis and will 2022

What about sw1 and sw2

What's the music?

What's the background track?

It's interesting wicker man will have affect of fake fire

i’m 1.4 and i’m scared they will say i’m not allowed on the rides i don’t know why but my friend went and they said it was to fast for him (nemesis) when he was 1.4 i’m going next week

th13teen is ruff. I sat it before and the ruff part is the drop.

tbh i still dont trust the smiler and ive been on all the big 6 expect the smiler

I thought that SW6 was Rita?

1 thing: STOP HATING GALACTICA!

Sw9 screw that how bout Thorpe Park gets a coaster

It’s not grow slower it gerslale

At the end of may 2018 I went on wicker man and it was amazing but despite the 110 or 120 minute ques I got on it three times with fastrack 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

SW9 BING ROLLERCOASTER FOR CBEBBIESLAND

Sw9 is wicker man

Who thinks sw9 will be in adventure land (spinball wizzer)

8 inversions hmmmm

I wish they replace Rita it brakes do2n to much

THE SMILER WAS A AWFUL RIDE AS IT WAS NEVER TREATED RIGHT !
