I am actually very excited with TH13TEEN, it is a shame we can't get more pictures every week but then that would be to much and would not be as good when it opens.

Apprently the ride has started testing.
 There's some photos of the area on Coasterforce, courtesey of Furie. It seems most of the area is fenced off and hidden but atlease we can see the new entrance here. Link to Coasterforce -------------------- |

Please don't take a camera on board........they stop the trains if they see you and it can take 5 minutes or so to get them going again, all the time people will be shouting at you from the queue line.......quite embarasing.

Though I never encourage anyone to take a camera on board, it won't be too long before someone's got a POV from their phone. I do believe that with SAW at TP, someone was able to get record the ride on the first day. I can't see it being much longer than that before it happens on Thirteen... |

You are not allowed to use it on the ride. By all means, take as many of the station and off ride, just not on the ride itself. All I'm saying is, one idiot is going to do it sooner rather than later - please don't let that idiot be you.

The reason why your not allowed to take anything onto a ride except yourselves is becasue anything as themeparks class as "loose objects" could hit someone and casue some damage to them. Example, a 10p being flung from Nemesis could have an impact speed of upto 60mph. Imagine being hit by an object going at 60mph when your not expecting it. If it landed on your head it could potentiall if not enterly crack your skull open. This is why themeparks advise for "no phones, glases or cameras to be taken on the ride", its on most signage at all rides. Its not because they wanna spoil your fun, its to stop others being hurt if you were to loose control of that item. You could even be charged with assult if im right if it was proved that it came from your personage but im sure someone will correct me on that.

New testing vid:
...and continuing the "will it/won't it be a thrill ride?" theme, this video swings us back the other way and makes Thirteen look anything but a family ride. It's absolutely FLYING. Looks like it'll be a great segment, speeding through the woods, flying over bunnyhops. Impressed. This post has been edited by Dan: Feb 19 2010, 12:24 PM
Reason for edit: Embedded YouTube video.

I agree, Thi3teen is looking like a very nice rollercoaster come 20th March when its finished. Good Idea tho having live actors around the area. Alton Towers take note!
