Ripsaw

Revision as of 16:10, 16 November 2010

A very forceful poor example of a Huss Top Spin - redeemed only by some pretty cool theming. Ripsaw occasionally manages to spin riders 360' before lowering them into the (currently SBNS - Standing But Not Squirting) fountains. This is also known as a 'detox'.

Ripsaw also operates as a secret shower and detergent facility for chavs, who really need drowning cleaning.

Know your programmes

Ripsaw runs a number of preset sequences. The ride has fifteen in total, but many of them are not used with guests for various reasons. To avoid feeling left out during TTF discussions about Ripsaw, here's a quick guide to the key programmes:

• 9 - The legendary 'banned setting', reportedly too intense for use with guests. This fabled setting is the holy grail amongst Ripsaw fans.
• 8 - Features backwards and forwards fly-overs, the latter at high speed. Stops half way through and is often mistaken for two unique programmes. Rarely used.
• 7 - The 'standard' cycle for quiet days. Features two 'locked' inversions, one flip and a fly-over towards the end.
• 6 - A shorter version of 7 without the fly-over and with less faffing at the start and after the flip. Used with moderate queues, and is arguably the worst cycle in common usage.
• 5 - An even shorter version of 7, thankfully not generally used.
• 4 - The 'standard' cycle for busy days. A short cycle with 4 flips and not much else.
• 3 - A waste of everyone's time. Like 4, but with only one flip. Not used, except for a couple of years ago when the ride was almost completely broken.
