The ride at Alton Towers will be a SC 2000 as well.

I am going to have to disagree with you on that. Take a look at the layout of the SC 2000: http://www.maurer-soehne.de/english/Amusement/Xtended_Rides/SC2000/Layout.htm

and now take a look at the layout of the Spinball Whizzer: http://www.screamscape.com/html/alton_towers.html

It may not be a Xtended Roller coaster, but it also most definately is not a SC 2000 or a SC 3000.

I think SC3000 is just their name for a custom spinner. It says on the SC3000 page that Wuze Town's Fear/Force coasters are only examples of the SC3000.

I agree that it isn't the SC2000, which is just the 'bog standard' transportable spinner (which is a fantastic ride, especially the MK2 version).

Just to make things clearer: Spinball Whizzer will be an SC2000, not an SC3000. The only real difference between the SC2000 and the SC3000 is that the SC3000 features special effects and a vertical lift, like the Winja's at Phantasialand.

Yes, DNRK said it already: The SC3000 incorporates vertical elevator lifts, tilting track segments and "falling" track elements. Spectacular but very complex and maintenance intensive.

You can see one of those "falling tracks " here:

The car will engage in the anti-rollbacks, then the track will drop rapidly about three feet and jumb back up again. This is a nice effect when you experience it for the first time in the dark. The dropping is very smooth and not very thrilling. It is funny however, that this happens while the car is mooving. I guess it could be a huge thrill if the track will drop a bigger distance, but i guess this is a very expensive stunt.

Here are two pictures of a car in the vertical, tilting elevator lift. About half a second before the brakes are released:

The pictures are taken from a massive article about the security checks of "Winjas Fear" and "Winjas Force" at Phantasialand. Sadly, the park did not allow to take pictures of the spectacular vertical and lateral tilting sections. You can find the full article at the wonderful "coasters and more.de" website. (this is still in german, but the site is slowly translated in english. check it out, its worth it.)
