One of those Inverting Pirate Ship things could fit in well. Doesn't need much space either.

I think a better question would be, What flats for a different park as Thorpe has about 42 already. Having said that, according to their MTDP, they shall be adding 4 or 5 flats in the next 4 years? What could they be? god knows? Really could be anything, but for the sake of answering the question. Id like to see something like Maelstrom.

^Hmmmm, maelstrom is a little too similar to Vortex though, I know that it faces out of the circle instead but I don't think it is different enough.
Personally, I would like to see them get something that is massive like a Mondial Inferno, although that might be a little too like Samurai I guess.
I would love to see a Mondial Shake too, or a similar variant... Basically a Breakdance where the cars invert...

I can see them getting a Mega discus.
But I would like to see them get a floorless topspin.

I'd like to get another chance to ride one of these. Reminds me of when we were in Germany at the fair and Mark and I spent a while deciding whether to go on it or not but when we saw the speed they had it on and realised the ride cycle was around 10 minutes we decided to pass.Mark said:

I'd love for one of those to enter the country (watch out, there's some sarcasm coming now though), and Thorpe could get a topple tower as well. They certainly need a couple of low maintenance rides to go along with all the other high-uptime rides they have there. Have S&S got any new prototypes to trial at Thorpe?

Those things are just monsters! Out of curiousity, I do wonder how tall they are? (A quick google search tells me the structure itself is Max.height from loading surface: 24 m (79 ft.) and the Height of stroke of gondola: 18 m (59 ft.) - I assume that means how high the gondolas go?)
Although, I did also notice that the one in Canadas Wonderland has had a lot of troubles recently. Apparently it was fine when it opened but in the last few seasons it is closed a lot etc. Do any other parks have them and if so, do they also have trouble?
Either way, they certainly have a visual impact that would look brilliant at Thorpe! but the last thing they need is another attraction dwarfed with tech problems.

That's the only one.
It's a weird ride. It's not exactly good, but, it's really fun xD Which, I guess makes it good... It's a bit like Slammer, I could see some people really liking it, and others thinking it's a waste of space and effort.
A floorless top spin would be good. But, lets face it, it wouldn't be Talocan and if you're not Talocan, what's the point in exisiting?
They don't need another ride that swings though, Rushed and Boretex being next to each other is already too many <//3
I secretly wish they'd get a Gyro Drop, but, they'd have to spite Det for that. I think it'd be the better ride for the park, but, they have to keep Det, so <3
Also, this question, no matter what park, can always be answered by...

What would fit in Zodiac footprint because I think we all know that it will be leaving soon, along with Mr. monkeys banana's boat.

I'd like to see an Intamin drop tower at some point (realistically if they spite Detonator), It would compliment the skyline well, and i think it would give a more intimidating image/ride than Det.
But right now, I would love a Mack Twist 'N' Splash, It would fit nicely into Amity Cove, And the capacity isn't as awful as you think.

Ok you obviously didn't read my comment properly. I said a taller model of a Discus type ride, like the Kobra model. Perhaps a new ride which goes at a steeper angle. And about the TopSpin, me and everyone else seems to disagree with you. A Top spin would fit in nicely at Thorpe. Although I doubt Thorpe could be bothered to theme a flat to that extent.
