Apparently Alton confirmed this was only for the opening period, can't remember where I read it now either on another site or on X probably. Let the hype die down a bit first.
That is what they hinted at that it can have multiple options.
I have said before I feel like the default will be, Go round forwards starting up the lift hill,
Brake on the launch then launch backwards,
go backwards up the lifthill then when you reach the top stop
Drop back forwards down towards...
All track bar 1 piece seems to now be in place from more aerial photos from Aerial Amusements on X, looks like station building and theming will start shortly.
Just to add to this to avoid confusion for others.
Pre books now and have been since I believe around September last year linked directly to your pass, A member of staff showed me on their device at Chessington that a pre book had been made and it was linked to the pass number. So you don't...
I posted this is the topic on the coaster but from theme Park worldwide video -
while still no manufacturer it has been confirmed 1.2m height limit and lap bars for Shockwave.
And lots of general tlc around the park including moving Terence back to Thomas land and new film in 4D cinema
Summary of the video so you don't need to watch:
New coaster:
Confirmed trains do not spin
At least 5 moments of airtime
Heavily themed including tunnels etc.
All local rides rethemed in New area.
New film in 4D cinema
Has different modes im guessing which route it can take and maybe...
I think it's a lot bigger than what you think, it's essentially Apocalypses area including the large bit where the archway used to be, the land where the big wheel used to be, the chip shop has been demolished and then goes right across past where the large outdoor seating area was, past the...
I think the track must nearly be complete now.
2nd switch Track In place and seems to confirm maintenance area is at the top where the chip shop was. Pics from Coaster giant on X
Theme Park madness have taken a short video yesterday of construction and it's going quite quickly. What I believe is the lift hill supports has been topped off and potentially the first drop in place.
@CrashCoaster actually thinking about it, didn't the MD say there could be multiple ride experiences so what happens if the ride is setup to run in any direction. so sometime it goes back to the lift hill and rolls back forwards, but other times it continues back round the circuit backwards...
I think the 2nd option could be it, do that one bit backwards, hit the lift then roll back forwards through that bit and launch forwards. then the back red bit on its own could even just be a maintenance shed, its out the way and can easily take the trains off from the launch area.
