I’d heard from some staff that it is a Super Jumper rather than a Super Trooper ? They’re more common on the fair circuit and for my money a much better attraction too
Definitely a Super Trooper. There could be a Jump too, perhaps?

I feel like I should probably know this, but; what is a Super Trooper?
If the one at Folly Farm is anything to go by, then the Twist should be pretty fun! I’m not sure if the Waltzer will personally be for me, but if it’s not run on too much of an intense setting, I might give it a go. Dodgems appeal to some, but I’m not really sure if they’re for me, personally.
In terms of flat rides, they tend to be hit or miss for me. There’s some I love (I love drop towers, Rush at Thorpe is a ride I absolutely love, and I even remember Samurai being quite good; the classic flats like the caterpillar and twist are also good fun), but I tend to be put off things that are incredibly spinny or flip you upside down a lot (Air Race at Drayton made me genuinely think I was going to vomit).
I’m very much in favour of this move in terms of a capacity booster, however; I might even give 1 or 2 of them a go!

The main entrance is closed, but there's always lots of activity in the park over closed season with staff and contractors coming and going - it's not as if they pull down the shutters at the end of the season and then there's no-one on site until the park reopens.How does anyone actually have any evidence about these rides. You can't claim to have seen them because the gates to the resort are shut
If the rides are already on site (as is reported) then a lot of people could have already seen them.
EDIT - just seen a pic on Facebook of Super Trouper on the Ripsaw site.

Ah, so kind of like a mix between a wave swinger and a star flyer! Looks quite fun!

That it's interesting how someone can so quickly bend from one day saying "I know what's coming, but won't say" to "here's a photo that clearly has been taken by someone with inside access to the park, that shouldn't be in the public domain, that I'm gonna share on a public forum anyway"?Thoughts?

All they need is some vinyl boards in the signature yellow and black stripes and it’d fit in with Forbidden Valley.

I did that ONLY because these are basically public knowledge now.That it's interesting how someone can so quickly bend from one day saying "I know what's coming, but won't say" to "here's a photo that clearly has been taken by someone with inside access to the park, that shouldn't be in the public domain, that I'm gonna share on a public forum anyway"?![]()
Edit: I've put it in a spoiler tag for piece of mind

Well this has been a rapid set of developments this evening, and Twitter seems to presently be melting down in a mix of amazement and trolling of Towers. I'm going to go ahead and guess social media one-upmanship is not how Towers marketing wanted the information release to happen. Wonder if we'll see them go into disaster management mode by the morning?
