Alton Towers Shares New Aerial Look at 2018 Wood Coaster Project

© Alton Towers

With many older wooden roller coasters quickly transforming into new steel hybrid rides, it's always neat to see a 'traditional' wood coaster being built. Alton Towers is continuing to keep their new for 2018 wood coaster a secret, but isn't shy about showing off what they've built so far.

The Great Coasters International ride features a unique and twisted layout that sits on the side of a hill. The video, seen below, that Alton Towers released gives great perspectives from the sky of the progress so far.

For more recent photos of the new ride, check out this update from TowersTimes. Previously I thought that the ride might not use a traditional chain lift, but from these new photos it sure does look like it will.

Also of note is the progress made on the giant theming structure that the trains will pass through. No word yet on just what it is... but it looks like it has horns!
