What happened to F1-X? Where is the site now?

Even Motor City seems to have given up trying to pretend it still had this project. The last news update on their website was September 2014 when they posted a news story about building a gate for school kids in the wider community. There is quite literally nothing on their webpage about the park anymore other than the teaser line shown below (up until around mid 2014 it still said "coming in 2010")

Alton Towers Resort, the UK's biggest theme park, could be revealing the first VR rollercoaster in a few days.

With Merlin bosses hoping to rekindle interest in Alton Towers after a poor summer, the UK theme park has revealed a teaser for “Something Exciting!”, rumoured to be the addition of virtual reality to its Air rollercoaster.

The £12m (US$17.7m, €16.2m) Air rollercoaster, designed by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), first opened in March 2002. The ride was the first flying rollercoaster and at the time of opening was one of the most expensive rollercoasters ever made and among the most technologically-advanced.

They also recently announced a new Rollercoaster Restaurant (another first for the UK market) and look like they are going all out in 2016 to make up for the terrible trading year in 2015. https://www.altontowers.com/activities/places-to-eat/rollercoaster-restaurant/#surf-restaurant
