Here is my scratchy scratch. I am sure it is terribly inaccurate, but it was fun creating it. (I went through 5 drawings to come up with this)

Pretty darn close. Just swap where the top line is with the line right below it.

Are those squares the Stops? Have you figured out where the large 15,000 sq. ft building and the two smaller buildings would go?

Blackpool? You’re kidding right lol
There is not a single ride there that I would consider thrilling lol it’s a typical seaside amusement park with delusions of grandeur imo
Alton towers rides are mostly a poor imitation of Other parks. For instance oblivion is a smaller sheikra, air is a smaller manta. Wicker man looks interesting but the safety concerns are putting a lot of people off. Smiler is OK.
Thorpe Park is a little better, my local park has a nice woodie in Megaphobia. But none even come close to uni or seaworld, or Busch gardens.

Never been to either. It's just been my perception.

But it's funny you consider Oblivion and Air "smaller" versions or Orlando rides, though. They came first by several years.

If you swap the places of the top two lines. Big building is over the track on top-right. Smaller building 1 is the dead end on left. Third building is far right-bottom curve before straight-away at the end.

The drop on oblivion is roughly the size of the second drop on Sheikra, with air the lift hill takes you up the side of an actual hill so you completely lose the thrill of the height aspect. It’s also much less intense. I Didn’t know which came first but yes they are poor imitations, or the Orlando ones are improved versions lol.

I wonder if they will have an outdoor track switch. If both are indoors, then I am hopelessly lost. :saywhat:

You and Teebin make a great team. He comes up with the questions and you give the answers. A modern day version of Burns and Allen.:thumbsup:

You drew the track switch on the right spot, it does appear to be outside, between reverse and re-turn to front.

Willing to bet that the first long straight bit leads into a large curved hill, maybe some small airtime hills after that. This is assuming that we head south after that curve, and not north.

I’m going to give this a shot on the computer later after my dinner. I think my version will be pretty body however and no where near as fluid as yours.

Try drawing it out onto one of the aerials of the construction site

Thanks... I didn’t feel like mucking in illustrator today.

“Safety concerns” ... with Wicker man or you mean in general?

So basically like this with the Green being the backwards section:

And we have a winner!

You got a lot right. You're off on some of the interior bits, but it's close. You really took what I said about the ride coming to the edge of the land and ran with it and that helped.

 

[Magic-Man]

So basically like this with the Green being the backwards section:

Looking at that map, is it possible that we'll get a drop track directly after the backwards portion? Then we can launch out under the other track.

It's the same track, just a track switch in the middle.

 

[fryoj]

Possible. It's either that or a switch track.

And another view. This is measuring roughly out to just under 4000 ft long.

 

[Magic-Man]

Wow, kudos for taking the time to make that!

And just like that, all the mystery is gone.

(I mean, other than the name, ride vehicle type, ride setting, plotline, interior scenes, and queue scenes and/or preshow elements.)
