Submission's replacement

Hence why I said double-sided. Double the number of seats and it's got 32 riders, 8 more than one side of Submission but 8 less than Ripsaw and Enterprise, and I doubt for a second you'd run a cycle as long as theirs :p

Besides, I don't imagine for a second they'd get something like that. It's just a bit of blue-sky thinking.
 
But every fairground in the UK has at least six of them. A park should offer something special.
 
I always had a weird idea and a dream about a Miami which tilted to the side when it went up and down and did flips like a heartbreaker but did intense and not so intense sides, like apocalypse has stand up and sot down.

Well someone had to!
 
Nah, one of those has to go in Dark Forest - we need something else for X-sector ;)
 
At the moment a couple of picnic table would not go amiss. they would make a great addition to the submission memorial garden.
 
I got it. Something for the chavs, a old corsa with a crap body kit doing donuts :D ok, maybe it more a Thorpe park thing :p
 
I always enjoyed the Magic Carpet ride (i think it was at Chessington). It's a simple ride but always gave a little thrill plus it's kid friendly too. That would slot in that gap quite nicely it would surely be more comfortable than the b0ll0ck crushing Submission!
 
I'm starting to think we will never see Merlin build a flat ride. Even if they do, you only have to look at the pathetic settings their existing flats are run on to realise it would be wasted.
 
I don't know why they don't build more flat rides, they are cheap to buy, easy to install and take up hardly any room.

My only guess would be because marketing seem to rule Towers, they probably think they can't market a flat ride unless its some kind of worlds first. But the public won't care, a new ride is a new ride at the end of the day. I would love one year to have a few flat rides open like Thorpe did with Slammer, Rush, etc.
 
Surely buying two or three flats at once and marketing them together would solve the marketing issue? Get the lack of flats sorted in one go? Plenty of parks do it.
 
Flats are actually quite important to having a good selections of rides at any park. I was at Drayton yesterday, and the two best rides there are flats (Poccy and Maelstrom). Thorpe have a great variety of them and it works really well there. Are great as most of the coasters at Alton are, they can't rely on them alone.

Not sure if it has been mentioned already, but I'd like something like Sledgehammer at Canada's Wonderland. Even though it's a bit of a maintenance nightmare apparently.

 
Nothing stopped them marketing flat rides in the 90s. Don't see how that would be a problem now. Look at Submissions marketing. Literally a turd polished in the adverts.

Like BigAl says, if they got two or three that would be easy to market.

Or alternatively they could add a flat ride alongside a major ride. Th13teen was a missed opportunity with that. They could have even done it with CBeebies Land.
