[2025] Toxicator: New Forbidden Valley Suspended Top Spin

Is it just me or is this clever marketing. They seem to be showing enough without giving anything away. All the shots cut the theming elements out and are all above the concrete structure it sits on. Yes we have seen the ride running but have we actually seen the ride. There is definitely something they are trying to hide from us.

I know we have all slated towers recently but I do think there have been some good intentions lately with the recent additions. Just to have a think about what we have seen over the last year or 2.

1. Remove aging / poor rides that are not fit for purpose (retro squad and blade)
2. Fix theming elements on rides (fire on wicker man and waterfalls on rapids)
3. Reinvent existing rides (curse and hex)
4. Bring back rides that have been SBNO (nemesis sub terror)
5. Rebuild their most famous ride and not just retract it, complete new theming elements (nemesis)
6. Bring back the sky ride as well as refurbish the stations
7. New purpose built events spaces for scarefest
8. Refurbished conference area
9. New sensory space in cbeebies land
10. Resurface front car park and add EV chargers
11. New permanent lighting around the park
12. Upgraded the walking route to the park with lighting and tarmac

I would imagine the next lists includes things like:

1. Refurbish toilets throughout the park
2. New ride for the dungeons space
3. Bringing back the theatre in Walliams world
4. Demolishing Walliams world 😂
5. Refurbish the monorail
6. 2 new flat rides for x-sector
7. 1 new flat rides for dark forest
8. Re-theme for galactic / replacement
9. Replace Rita
10. Replacement rides for blade

I'm sure there list is endless but I do think at least in capital expenditure things have improved. Its probably best not to talk about the operational expenses though.
 
I'm happy with this, it's definitely "new" merlin theming if you know what I mean. I feel like it would have been better if instead of green it was yellow/orange like the decals on the side, but I would guess the green is to blend in with the trees
 
If you pause the video they released at specific moments, it looks like the concrete tunnel is covered in a green slime effect. It's hard to see if you don't know where to pause it, but it looks like that's what it is.
 
If there’s some kind of animated logo it could look pretty sick in there
Yeah it would, in fact any of Towers' recent ride logos and the park one itself would look good in it as they're all circular. Luckily you can make a video clip screen grab of videos with the software so it doesn't have to be a logo, just take it from a video somewhere.
 
We all expecting the tanks to gradually fill up with green liquid during a cycle aren't we? I wonder with modern fountain installations if they can give the impression green waters is rising too. Think that might look pretty good if they can nail it right. Either way, the actual ride is going to be a new experience for younger people. My kids never saw Ripsaw. They are looking forward to this one
