It replaced the Klondike Gold Mine (previously the Python) that used to be in the area in previous years. G Force was the second X-Car coaster to be built after the prototype in Skyline Park, in Germany, called Sky Wheel. The coaster train has a hip restraint (instead of the usual over the shoulder restraint) and 'Big Boy' seats that are capable of safely holding larger riders. After a short drop out of the station the train negotiates a 'Humpty Bump Lift' which is a 180 degree chain lift, where riders hang upside down as they are lifted to 23 m. The ride includes a camelback hill, a loop and a new inversion known as the 'Bent Cuban Eight' an element that is modelled on aerobatic manoeuvres.] G Force riders experience its 385 m long ride with speeds of up to 70 km/h (43 mph)Drayton Manor 2014 Rollercoaster No limitsDaniel Leach2012-06-09 | Heres a look at the Drayton manor coaster for 2014, the ride was made by myself using no limits coaster from the unofficial plans released yesterday byt John Burton.

Sonic Spinball (previously known as, Spinball Whizzer), is a steel spinning roller coaster made by Maurer Söhne of Germany and sponsored by SEGA. The ride is located in the Adventure Land area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. It's based on SEGA's number one franchise Sonic the Hedgehog. "Sonic Spinball" itself was an early pinball game released for Sega's Mega Drive and Game Gear systems, which is referenced in the ride's theming.
Originally opened in 2004, the ride was known as Spinball Whizzer and featured a loose pinball machine theme. The name was a pun on the song Pinball Wizard by The Who. It was decided in late 2009 that the ride would receive sponsorship. The roller coaster was therefore given a red and blue track repaint; new decoys, signage and audio (with the station announcements done by Sonic's new voice actor Roger Craig Smith). The ride re-opened to the public on 13 February 2010 during the park's February half term event. A Sonic-themed room was also made available at the Alton Towers Hotel, which features various playable Sonic games and wallpaper based on the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4 game.
Knightmare, a three million pound ride, will subject you to more g force than any other rollercoaster in any of the UK`s Theme Parks, pulling 5Gs at some points.
Knightmare is over half a mile long, full of twists, turns and steep drops and lasts just under two minutes. The highest point is 87 feet and it reaches speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour.
One of Knightmare's many highlights is a mid-ride plunge nicknamed 'the psycho drop', after which riders are subject to extreme g forcesThe Whirlwind Camelot Theme Park Offride HDDaniel Leach2012-06-03 | The Whirlwind camelot theme park off ride HD

The monorail transports visitors from the further away car parks to the main entrance and ticket booths leading to Towers Street. The Von Roll monorail system was acquired from Expo 86 which was held in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was installed at Alton Towers in 1987, a year after Towers Street, and was opened by Star Trek actor William Shatner.
In 2008, Sarner, a UK based theme park design company, was commissioned to revamp the nine monorail trains. This included exterior decoration and new bench seating. Each train has a personalised soundtrack to fit with its own theme, such as 'pirates'.[10]
The monorail moves visitors from the Alton Towers Hotel, Splash Landings Hotel, Cariba Creek Waterpark and Extraordinary Golf to the Alton Towers Theme Park.
The Enterprise is an amusement ride, manufactured primarily by HUSS Park Attractions in 1972.[1] The ride was an adaptation and improvement of a design produced earlier that year by Schwarzkopf, with an increased passenger capacity.[1] Despite not owning the original incarnation of the ride, HUSS was issued the patent.[1]
The ride is named after USS Enterprise from the TV series Star Trek. The backdrop is decorated with space-themed art and a silhouette of the starship Enterprise.
Enterprises are manufactured by HUSS, Schwarzkopf, and Heinz Fähtz; all sharing the name Enterprise. Both trailer and park versions have been created and in use.
Enterprise opened in 1984 wich i blelive makes it the oldest ride at the park.

This could be nothing but a little general work ongoing in the park as upkeep, but as it was so close to the new ride area i figured i'd do a video and show you lot what exactly was happening, you can then make up your own mind on weather or not this was SW related or just normal routine. I thought maybe the workers were clearing out trees and making a path for maybe easy entrance for trucks, diggers or maybe even track storage ( doubt the track storage but it's a thought, track will be elsewhere i think).

We have two off ride slow motion shots of two of the best wet rides in the UK Tidal Wave at Thorpe Park & Stormforce 10 at Drayton Manor resort. The clips where shot on my sony handycam using the slow motion record feature, unfortunatley slow mation recording ins't shot in HD so you'll have to excuse the less than reasonable picture quality but i'am sure the overall clip will make up for that.

The Thunderlooper was sadly removed from the park only 6 years after its debut in 1990. Thunder looper for the time was a very popular and well loved ride, mainly due to the fact it reached speeds up to 53mph in a matter of seconds stopped and done it all again in reverse, whats not to like ?. Information i have says the ride was removed due to it been visible from outside of the park and created quite a bit of noise disturbing the public living in the village area around Alton.
Sit back and get ready to go back in time to a ride that is so unique and once really popular, get ready for THUNDER LOOPER !!!! R.I.P
Thunder looper was moved to hopi hari theme park in brazil and to my knowledge is still under operation and named Katapult
