[2025] Project Ocean: New Forbidden Valley Flat Ride

[QTXAdsy]

They could never use that phrase now considering the use of the word 'cut' is much more mainstream now when referring to stabbing people! How times have moved on!

Mmm, shame as it was such a great tagline too.

They couldn't use the word 'cut' now considering it refers to what they do to their opening hours, ride line up and budgets

Can see a lot more of the site now work is seemingly only taking place at the far end of the tunnel structure. Courtesy of Theme Park Guide's live blog:

Looks like a Grand Designs house!

It’s come on a lot in recent days for sure, and it’s good to see it with most of the scaff off.

when it was dark there was a moving head that was displaying green lights across the site. The lights looks suspiciously like what could be the rides logo in my opinion, like some sort of toxic warning symbol. The video sound effects were also playing along with the lights

No idea if time allows, but it would be great to see another final night of fireworks teaser and continuation of the phalanx storyline.

Doing something with the ride structure “offsite” again could work well

Based on the marketing I expect to come off this ride a younger, more beautiful, more perfect version of myself.

Not sure I'm liking this colour though, doesn't feel very forbidden Valley to me

The Blade, the longest standing ride in the Forbidden Valley area (Nemesis Reborn being a few months old), has a height requirement of 1.0 metre.

Alton Towers works best when there are a mixture of rides for everyone in a family. You have to keep the shorter members occupied and include them.

I know that but we weren't talking about the Blade. We are talking about new potential flats.

And whenever I visit the park the Blade doesn't really get much of a queue tbh so my point stands.

No it doesn't. Your point was Forbidden Valley was aimed at riders 1.4 metres tall and above, which it demonstratably isn't currently or even historically. The Blade is the only operational flat ride in the area, so of course it counts. The most recent flat ride installed in Forbidden Valley, Funk 'n' Fly, had a height restriction of 1.2 metres.

Once again, every area of Alton Towers, at its peak, had rides which catered for a mixture of height requirements. This also happened to be when the park worked at its best.
