[2025] Project Ocean: New Forbidden Valley Flat Ride

Regarding the lack of green or anything toxic to suggest it's new theme (yet ofc), part of me can't help but wonder that instead of the name Toxicator as what seems to be the name for this ride that there might have been a last minute change to rename it Ripsaw?

I know this sounds wishfully thinking but given how it's colours seem to reflect that of old Ripsaw than something toxic related, I can't help that maybe a rename to a former ride might have been done as a commercial thing to bait that nostalgia market once again? Given how the stories of a planned refurb of Galactica was cancelled prior before the fireworks show (which heavily seemed to lean into something like that) who is to say things have changed here?

Might be talking out of my own backside but I can't help but got those VIBES that something seems different than what we were led to believe before.

Absolutely no basis for what I’m about to say….

I’ve said all along toxicator sounds far too Smiler Adjacent…. We assume the trademark was for Ripsaw 2.0 but maybe that three flat ride deal rumour holds some basis?

We know X-Sector and Dark Forest wouldn’t planning permission… perhaps start of the season willl be Ripsaw 2.0 and later In the season 1/2 more flats added to boost gate figures? Launching all three wouldn’t make marketing sense, spread them out. We know towers had a typically quieter 2024 than anticipated. Do towers still hold trademark on the name Ripsaw? If so, a new trademark wouldn’t need adding….

Maybe we will see two other flats in 2025.

Or maybe I’m wrong and toxiciator will be ripsaw 2.0.

A man can dream….

When the gondola is at the top, it's really going to be quite a spectacle to watch offride. I'd imagine it'll be more thrilling as well because it's on top of the platform so you're going to feel really quite high up. Can't wait to ride!

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the floorless topspin smaller than the floored meaning you would be arround the same height of the origional ripsaw

given the amount of time this has gone up in, would it be possible to get the foundations of the other rides in and built by the start of next season (give project oceans bridge was the thing that took the longest) although I am sure some marketing person will say it makes sense to space the opening out so all 3 are open by X time
 
A key childhood memory of mine was sitting on the clean monorail and looking out of the clean windows onto Forbidden Valley seeing Ripsaw spooling up, along with nemesis testing. Would be great to see that view again with the new topspin being installed.


Oh wait.
