Future Flat Ride Speculation

[Manchester1894]

I could see the Rapids being changed to a Rocking Boat system if the new installation elsewhere works well. Means restraints can be added etc and reduce/remove the lifeguards.

I'm not convinced Towers need a flume. They're popular for about 20 days a year and have huge running costs if done right, plus the H&S needed unless they can fit restraints?

Excellent idea that tbh. Just when I see the best rapids around the world think the AT looks too gentle

From a personal point of view I’ll be really sad the day the Rapids no longer exists at AT, so many fond childhood memories of it. That said, it’s not exactly a ‘must do’ for me on the park nowadays, though I’m not sure the answer is to make it more aggressive and having riders coming off soaked through - barring about 6 weeks in a year. I think Towers will keep it plodding along for a while longer yet.

I don't think it is going soon, they have just replaced a lot of the walk way structure around the wave machine
