Gerstlauer messed up big time. That said, I doubt they will dismantle the ride, simply because the ride represents more then just "a rollercoaster" it is John Wardly's last ride at Alton Towers, the place which really put him on the map with the Like's of Nemesis, Th13TEEN, Duel and Oblivion. Even though it isn't his last ride (I believe Flug Der Damonen at Heide park is) surely it must hold enough sentimental value to try with all its might to fix it. But I suppose Alton towers is a business and as such will look at whether they can afford it first. I'm withholding judgement one whome's to blame at the moment, whether staff or Alton Towers themselves, but it is definitely unfortunate for everyone.
