Alton Towers ride closures

[Martyn B]

Sorry, Spinball Whizzer is back in that Sonic has **** ed off.

 

[nealbie]

Damn. The Sonic theming was fab!

In a blow to all the naysayers, Ripsaw has been replaced!

**** hell, that's tragic.

 

[Ben]

To be fair, those things are hilarious.

Kids stand on things, they get hit by the arm, they fall off, they get back up, get hit again.

It's so good.

 

[Pink Cadillac]

I wonder if they've bought a bouncy castle to replace Hex.

 

[Martyn B]

And Mutiny Bay now has a nice long fence line:



Merlin have done some questionable things before, but this demise of Alton is on a different level.

 

[Ben]

Ugh, they must have thought we all said B&Q when we asked for a B&M.

This really is a shame - Alton at the end of last season felt really great, and now it's like it's been taken out back and shot in the head.

That is awful that Merlin went so low as to install an inflatable attraction. It's worse than SF calling Larson Super Loops coasters.

 

[Smithy]

lol ripsaw can **** off i'd pay the gate price just to sit and watch that ride all day.

 

[Dar]

TST are saying that this thing is going to be called Forbidden Sweep.

Somebody would like a word

 

[Shirofukurou]

What's next, will they replace the flume with a Chuck E Cheese ball pit?

Thought that was a Tagada at first glance!

No because that's not a known brand here.

Wait, actually unknown brands are right up their street! So maybe!

2018 confirmed.

THIS IS HILARIOUS :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Martyn B]

It's really not though. It's depressing as **** to see Alton like this

 

[mouse]

Merlin are really missing a trick, they should be marketing the **** out of this thing.

Luckily for them, I'm on the case...

 

[cjbrandy]

Its cheap and tragic, yes, but the cherry on top would be if this was a **** upcharge. And a bonus cherry on top if that upcharge is more than one British pound.

 

[caffeine_demon]

Of course it will be an upcharge - and probably 7 or 8 bonus cherries worth!

 

[Dar]

It's an HB leisure "game" so it's definitely an upcharge
