First time back since the 90s

I was genuinely surprised to learn that Submission is probably still laying in rest behind Burger Kitchen (last reported sighting by @Log Flume's Dennis was 2018). A perfectly serviceable permanent flat just thrown down the back of the sofa. Literally!

yes they shocked me as well. Why wouldn’t you just sell it? What was wrong with it anyway?

It's Merlin, we're talking about here people, they couldn't see a high quality attraction if it was right in front of them. They only thing they can see value in are the Parks SWs.

Name 1 ride that isn't a Secret Weapon or Hex, that's genuinely fantastic.

Nothing , it was just never that popular apparently. It wasn’t a free flowing, free swinging, gravity driven ride like Ripsaw or Boneshaker in the way that these rides span and swung so apparently is was quite boring, slow and over engineered.
Still, it’s better than what currently occupies its former site - a dead lifeless space.
 
A shame, they could’ve up-cycled the gondolas by installing a couple of bespoke picnic benches inside of them pre Mix Tape.

I never found it boring I have to say - always thought it was pretty good - filled a gap and made a change to coasters
 
My money's on ut being The Corkscrews old line, or something else that used to be part of Ug Land
I’m pretty sure it’s not the corkscrew’s old line as this was just around the front of the ride and didn’t extend into the woods (unless it did when it first opened?) I initially thought Boneshaker but it was never that far into the woods, and also never warranted a much of a queue line
 
Your link seems to take you to near the prospect tower on the other side of the valley, I’m guessing you don’t mean that area?

Can you post a screen shot of where you are referring to?
 
I would if I knew how :D for reference if you go on Google maps, and then zoom in to the woods just south of Ritas bottom section you’ll see what looks like old queue lines

to add photo's I use https://imgbb.com/
Once there upload your picture and select BBcode full linked and paste that into your post. There are other ways to do it but that's how I do it.
