Here at TowersTimes
we like to look at things from another point of view. For example
with all this discussion about Secret Weapons, everyone seems to be
focussing on SW7. However we thought a nice Christmas Treat might be
to take a sneak peak at some Secret Weapon plans, and so we're very
proud to bring you SW1.
SW1 was the original
plan for the site that would eventually house Nemesis. The ride type
was an Arrow Pipeline Coaster and the intended theme would have been
more similar to that of Oblivion (hence the Secret Weapon codename)
The park actually
began blasting the ride's hole before they'd decided what was to be
constructed in it and so you'll notice the pit portrayed in these
plans is actually rather different to the one that now contains
Nemesis, seeming much larger and flat bottomed. The ride also
appears to run under the ground rather a lot.
The ride didn't get
much further then these plans as it was decided the ride type was
unsuitable and not actually that thrilling. However despite this the ride
type was revisited for SW2 before being scrapped in favour of
Nemesis (SW3).
Forbidden Valley
would look very different had the plans for SW1 come to fruitarian,
not only due to the shape of the pit, but also because the ride
spread much further then Nemesis into the neighbouring sites used
for both Air and the new ATR2012 project.
