The positive on Facebook is that the comment with it said that they can't wait to get painting and theming it... This excites me...

Had a bike up there today and there was a large forklift truck moving parts of the new mouse into the main park via the gates at the back of wipeout - what a long long way round for the driver - jeez

I'm sure they have their reasons.... after all they are going to be doing a lot of work to it before it's built up.

The cars looked so much better before they added the mouse head to the front:

Kinda forget just how big these coasters, should look really good opposite Timber Falls. It's just a shame they have such an ugly support structure.

Here's a thought, I wonder if they'll place close to where Fireball was, or if they'll put it further towards the back of the park (think I'd prefer that)?

Am I the only one who finds it a bit odd that they keep going on about "the mouse is back"? This is a different type of coaster... people only really enjoy the Reverchon version because of the spinning, which this one lacks... I just hope it doesn't end up biting them on the bum.

They need to be very creative with it somehow - to this off i think. Its a big structure and will therefore need substantial theming to make it a worthy addition as HObs Pit was and is.

So, what do you guys think of the name, "Marble Madness"...?

It's neat, though I cant help but think it would be better suited to a spinning coaster.

I'm intrigued to see how they will theme this one. I have to agree with you though Martyn, it does instantly make me think of a spinning motion!

I agree it'd probably be better suited to a spinning model, but none the less I like the name. I assume they are going to go for something akin to Spinball Whizzer for the theme.

Aren't the cars a strange shape for marbles?
Is it possible they are going to use spinning cars instead?

Bubbles has raised an interesting theory IMO... the MS spinner cars would probably fit the track snug without any modifications....
