Alton Towers screwed again

[BP317]

If your unfamiliar with Alton Towers situation, it cannot build anything above the tree-line due to government requirements because of neighbor complaints etc. This is the reason Air's lift is green, Nemesis is built into the ground, and most of Oblivions drop is underground. There has been many issues and court cases involving the area and the park which included them removing their shuttle loop coaster because the top of the loop could be seen by someone who lived near the park. Their new for 09 ride now is now running into major roadblocks.

A planning application for a £12 million ride to replace the Corkscrew at Alton Towers has been deferred following a barrage of protests.
The attraction, billed as the "world's first roller-coaster of its kind is to be built in the park's Ug Land and is due to open next year.
Residents and Alton and Farley parish councils have lodged objections amid fears over its appearance, noise nuisance and increase in traffic.

The "first roller coaster of its kind" got me. I just want to see what this thing is!

I wonder if it was going to be the Gordon Rides inverted wooden coaster.

I actually would love to see that be built somewhere!
