Alton Towers is beyond the Milton Keynes boundary so therefore we cannot attend.

It's a drive tyre lift hill with a highest drop of 66ft (70ft height overall). You already know it's in the "Psychoaster" category, made by Intamin AG and is all steel.

No real details on content of the coaster yet tbf.. can't find any anyway and been looking for quite some time.

Other confirmed facts revealed today are:

- Built on a burial site that is part of the original Alton Abbey, Thirteen will be themed around a crypt, with one of the main features of the ride taking place inside the unearthed crypt
- The ride was tested and built in Europe before being shipped to the UK
- Thirteen has been in design for 2 years and taken 9 months to build by a team of 35 working round the clock, to ensure it's ready for launch in March

Plus AT has a height restriction. So massive coasters are out the question. That's why they go innovative rather than big.

I have as many 2-4-1 tickets as you could want so anyone that wants to go AT let me know as i live just down the road from it and i can sort you out 2-4-1's before you go Or how about we organise a Corsasport day out? Just pick a day when its not going to be too busy so a week day during term time or something and give a good month or twos notice so everyone can get it off work/babysitters/etc.

Not impressed by the ride; could have been so much better. I live less than 5mins away, get free tickets and still haven't been for 3/4 years.
