What is happening!
They must have changed there mind

My guess would be that the website is old. These ride websites can quite often be out of date.

I'm hoping it's that anyway.

Well its interesting either way, We cant ignore that drone footage that defiantly showed some kinda of work taking place on Rattlesnake, Dont know but to me it looks as if they station has received new woodwork or whether its just because they roof had been removed?

I'd say snake is comming back. I hope that the park can turn a corner this season. There's a lot of unused potential in the park.

i pretty sure the Rattlesnake listing was posted on here a few years ago when they were trying to sell it... if it's been sold the work we see from the done is them taking it down but it doesn't really feel like that.

I wont be Hobs after all the refurbish they did the other year, it wont be TTT, Tempest seems to extreme for the parks kiddie direction.

Snake/ladybird Enterprise, Troika seems to be the most logical and considering the activity on the snake and welding pics it's the most likely i believe. (also with the balloons being done up to help revive that end)

Id love to see the return of both Enterprise and the Troika but i think the park needs to have 4 coasters, and it needs that Snake more than anything else at the moment.

I wonder what's in the castle this year?  i guess they'll have a another Dive show?.. i forget they built a stage for it.

When I first saw that teaser, I didn't realise it was a video and I got very angry as I thought TTT was the ride returning..... then I realised if was a video and I calmed down 

Yeah it obviously isn't Hobs or TTT, it just has to be the Snake. It could be an Enterprise, but there are far more clues that lead to the revival of the Snake.

Also, I'm surprised at how many people want to see a return of the Enterprise. It's not as much of a popular choice as the Snake obviously, but it's still getting a few mentions. You could bet any money, if they ever announced an Enterprise, people would complain at them adding an old style ride...lol

There's a rather interesting comment in the new group from one of the guys from Sparks who created RTTT, he said "I know the new manager well and I truly believe he has the right attitude and work ethic to turn the park around."

If the Snake does return, that quote couldn't be more true and I believe that the park could finally be in the right hands.

the pirate ship at alton has also been reduced to its shell just like woodys has.... maybe so many years as per HUSS guidelines.....

?

I agree, I can no longer see it on the site

they wouldn't make a much fuss if it was a Flat ride... let's not forget the return of the Waveswinger.. a classic ride we all enjoyed returned and didn't get so much attention.. so it has to be the ladybird.

I just really hope it had a proper tunnel again, and maybe even the second one like it use to have..  i just have this horrible feeling it wont have either because it's easier that way

^ Going by the article with the new manager, the "new ride" and " return of a classic" is the same thing, which is disappointing.

The article also confirms that the Dive show is returning than year, and that there is some work taking place at the entrance to introduce some express turnstiles to speed up getting people into the park.

It's good to see that they are working on that, because it became quite an issue last year.

The Rattlesnake coming back is big news though. Last year we would have all taken that over a new ride. It shows that the park has made a good decision (which have been few and far between in recent years).

It's great for us, but the for the GP, is it enough? It's only been closed 2 years, so most people will just react like "It's not a new ride is it". A new ride as well as the Snake reopening would definitely get the attention of the GP.

^ I've never understood why they haven't more of that before. The only ride we've got from a sister park is Moby Dick. There's not really much at WMSP that I would want to see at PWH, other than the Rapids and Caterpillar coaster.

The event for the return of a classic ride still on facebook, PWH just made a poll in there and shared it.

^ Marble Madness was the only ride to open in 2014, so I wouldn't call that a bumper season. It was a good follow up to 2012 and 2013 though.
