Agreed, I think the waterfalls have to be coming back. People are noticing dripping like they've been used overnight, and as you said... It's all still there! Changes to the helicopter around the stall turn were nice to see recently too! So It's clear this area is still not 100% complete yet. Although as much as id like to see them retheme Galactica soon... I feel like the other areas need it even more now. I think it's likely for them to re-paint and retheme Galactica soon to at least fit in the area better... But they really need to focus on the other areas instead. It's not a good look to have one side of the park full of life, then the rest of the park pretty much vacant.
yeh, it's like the left hand side of the park is getting all the good stuff! I think Galactica is definitely next, they've only given it a temporary clean up for this season
You are right about oblivion. I think oblivion is the easiest fix. Change the drop to more than 90 degrees, come out the drop swing round behind smiler, throw in a loop back to the station. A new ride. Galactica will go first, no point in a retrack it is a good coaster but never a stand out. If universal opens the uk theme parks are in trouble, Alton towers will need to build high but the local authority will not allow it and try as Thorpe park does it just doesn't get noticed as much and i am not sure hyperia will change that for them. A big lift hill followed by just 40 seconds of ride time.
When you look at the water rides options at Alton towers they is not many 2 water rides and in my opinion that is not good enough like other theme parks they have got a big water ride attratiction not Alton towers they haven’t got a big water ride the only 2 small water rides are the rapids and battle gallons when the flume left they haven’t replaced any big water ride and in my opinion get a big water boat ride someone in the dark forest or they could replace the runaway mine train that’s my opinion I think a new water ride will come at Alton towers in around 2026 or 2027
