Ripsaw

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 nine in total, but some 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. 25 minutes of continuous flyovers.
• 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. Only has 1 'locked' inversion and with less faffing at the start and after the flip. Used with moderate queues
• 5 - An even shorter version of 7, similar to 6 but also removes the fly-over. Arguably the worst cycle in common usage.
• 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.
• 2 - One flyover and one spin. Again not worth it!
• 1 - One Flyover. Not even worth it!
• 0 - Broken Down - If you're in the queue, you've just wasted 30 minutes of your life..
