[202X] Project Ocean: New Forbidden Valley Flat Ride

[QTXAdsy]

Likely they'll do a Retrosquad style promotion for new rides for 2025 with a returning Ripsaw for 2025 with say another two flat rides for 2025 too, likely for X-Sector as many suspect on here.

Can't see 3 real flat rides in one season

Wait when was this confirmed to be a top spin have I missed something

or are we just speculating

A topspin was named in the noise report submitted as part of the planning application.

Ahh completely missed that hahah,

In that case, I feel the park needs to move forward, rather than relying on nostalgia, a cute nod to ripsaw would be nice but I'm sure they can come up with something more original

 

[Steve74]

Ripsaw Regenerated would be my choice if the had to re-use the name, hopefully they can come up with something new though.

Can't see it opening this year, maybe some sort of ceremony at Scarefest but that's it.

I'd say more likely at the Fireworks if anything, like they did with Nemesis closing in 2022 - but maybe build the reveal into the actual fireworks show rather than tagging it on at the end.

 

[DistortAMG]

Rippy mc rip face would be my choice. May aswell ad to the great British boaty mc boat face.

This was my childhood favourite. It was such a good ride that really packed a stomach churning punch!

It could go in the Dark Forest as before, just themed to a haunted tree.

Ooh, and what if we built it indoors, and the room barrels around you, giving the illusion of going upside down, while gravity is the same?

There’s be nothing like it in the park

Hard agree. If we talk about this enough they might catch on...

As good as this ride was I feel it speaks to the fact that there doesn't seem to be much innovation in the flat ride space. We're all just asking for the old classics back!

Be interesting to see how Dance Macabre pans out at Efteling, indoor flats rides in the UK are an obvious winner (although actually i think Paultons are building something similar for 2025).

seems like the moulds have come of from all of the concrete that has gone up so far:

I think the beams at the end was just from the moulds

If the 15 week construction period is accurate, then it should be nearing it's end in about 4 weeks or so?

 

[DistortAMG]

At this point I am pretty certain the 15 week time was for ground works only. Not for the ride hardware.

Yeah that's what I meant. I don't expect the ride to be installed until closed season.

I did think it was a possibility at one point, now I do not.
