From TS News:
This certainly raises the possibility of 2015 being a year of replacement thrill flats. Particularly as the LTDP states that Ripsaw/the Blade are due for retirement around then too. Can't say I'm too distraught about this though, it will definitely change the look of X-Sector again though!
TowersStreet said:Over this closed season, much interest has been focussed on Alton Towers’s exciting developments in the construction of CBeebies Land, and in the ongoing maintenance work on The Smiler. However, this is not the only significant event in X Sector for the 2014 season, as TowersStreet can now reveal that Submission – a ride which has divided the opinions of enthusiast communities since opening – is being removed from the theme park for 2014.
Alton Towers have stated that this is due to their long-term plans for the Resort, though as far as TowersStreet are aware no replacement is currently planned for its site.
