- Alton Towers have submitted a planning application for a NEW flat ride in the Forbidden Valley themed area of the park! In this video I take a detailed look at the plans for this new attraction along with talking about the interesting location for the ride. I also take a look at some potential ride types that this could be along with sharing my thoughts!

A suspended top spin fits perfectly.... The extra width in that '22m' is just the diagonal supports that come down either side of a top spin. The rest of the dimensions of a suspended top spin fit the box top perfectly... Those supports, that do extend out either side, will be anchored into the 'theming structures' which are confirmed to be 'structural' in the planning documents.
I agree here it just can't be anything else the top spin fits perfectly in every other way. please please please alton towers call it ripsaws revenge and that would make me very happy .
Why did they get rid of rip saw ?
@@alexhetherington8028Officially… It wasn’t in the future plans for the park.
However unofficially my thoughts are that it had reached it’s end of life… It was around 18 years old and it was getting more and more expensive to maintain the one at Towers and Chessington.
With the Smiler incident dropping attendances at Towers, Ripsaw was sacrificed, I believe, to be cannibalised for Rameses Revenge.
omd if that is truee!!!
Hopefully so, it would be great to have a top spin back at the park!
We need to appreciate how shawn put off suggesting a ripsaw return for almost 10 minutes
I always like to explore different options!
Im thinking modified suspended top spin, and the "ocean" could relate to the water fountains used in the top spin?
So interesting, will be fascinating to see what we get here and how Forbidden Valley will look in a few years. These are all positve signs from Towers...much needed. 👌
Here’s a thought. The two “theming structure” are the supports for a topspin. If you include length from support to support I’m sure that a topspin would be able to fit and the base is just the length of the gondola.
That would be great!
Based on plans, layout, height & loading system, It's highly likely going to be a Intamin Suspended twin hammer or Huss Top Spin (Ripsaw Returns).
Hopefully so!
Suspended Topspin incoming
Hopefully so!
Calling it now, Ripsaw's Revenge. I reckon the actual ride "base" will be minimal/glass floor, so people walking under it can look up at the ride and people riding it can look down and see the ground/people below rather than just a ride base. The structural supports are (as others have said) probably supports for a suspended Topspin. Maybe add some nemmy tentacles coming out of the ground wrapping around the support pillars as if she's starting to expand across forbidden valley.
That would be the shizzle
Exactly my thoughts lol. Maybe a big fish tank lol
That sounds awesome!
So glad about this, towers has really been in desperate need for some more permanent flats lol
It’s much needed!
Big stretch but I'm expecting a slightly smaller zamperla big wavez, with the tunnel under it working as a sort of splash zone to enter / exit
I hope not 💀💀 we certainly don’t need something to rain on us even more in the uk
They look great fun. Just not sure it would work in our climate!
Almost certainly going to be a Huss suspended top spin in my opinion. Those are 13.2m tall, and 4.8 + 13.2 = 18m. The supports could be integrated into the theming pieces to fit it in.
It would be great if so!
I honestly think we're going to see something that hasn't been announced by the manufacturer yet.
Second guess is a nebulaz.
Hot take, I think we *could* get a top spin again. I don't think it would sit in Fobidden Valley. Would look amazing in Dark Forest, wrangled in branches though....
I'm not a flat ride guy at all, but they are important for theme parks and plus are nice to watch off ride whilst I sit with the bags lol
X sector needs some flat ride in the future on the site the old enterprise a new version of enterprise and one in the pirate area at alton towers and one next to Galactica
They do!
So happy this space is finally being used to capacity I hope whatever the ride is it isn't too intense but still thrilling for everyone
Interesting vlog & video, good to see a potential new flat ride being added with a tunnel aswell, hoping it will be themed aswell both the ride & tunnel itself. Could be a flat ride which is a drop tower? That goes up and then drops riders into a water pit below, causing a splash and soaking all onboard? Could be a discuss attraction like Kobra at Chessington WOA? Is that big enough for that or too small space for that? Might not even be a flat ride, could be an indoor walkthrough? Doubt it, but who knows? Themed around Nemesis? I think it could be a water drop tower, as that would make sense it being called Project Ocean. If not? It could be a top spin? I'm not sure? I guess we will have to see, but nice vlog & update, have liked & shared. Cheers. 😀👍
Nice video Shawn! Im so glad there adding a new Flat to the Valley! Been needing it for quite a while im glad ones coming 😊
I can't wait to find out !
This is really positive to see! It’s nice to see Alton Towers getting a new flat ride!
All I'm saying is Huss do a version of Funk 'N' Fly that fits the availible space perfectly XD
I'd be surprised if it's not a susspended top spin but knowing Alton Towers I'm sure they'll do something unexpected.
I think @Lifthillsandthrills has got it right regarding the project name. Putting this in with the tunnel seperates out the Nemsis area and the area with Galactica and the roller coaster resturant. I wouldn't be surprised if they turn that end into some kind of water themed zone with a full retheame of Galactica and ready for expansion on to that car park site.
I agree
I really want a topspin back so hopefully that's what it's going to be but I'm not holding out hope!
Maybe it'll form a kind of theming that'll justify the weird tonal shift between Nemesis and Air?
Cannot wait to see what is going to be built. 👍
It's that huge version of thorpe parks Rush. You can see by those pictures. The huge air tanks are either side of it
Think the air is toooo noisy. They just put sand in nemises track to cut noise for houses across the road.
Definite top spin incoming, btw Shaun, are you aware that some blue track has arrived at Fantasy Island. My guess is that ice Mountain is making a return
Great to see!
They definitely need a family flat ride that appeals to kids too old for cbeebies land and maybe not quite brave enough for the bigger coasters, very interesting!
The blade is kind of that though
I think it would be really cool to see a smaller s&s scream n swing even though it's rather loud it could have a lower height requirement and it could help people if they were nervous to do larger models like Rush
Hi theme park world wide I’m so excited as well 2:17
It’s a multi layer queue system for when the rest of the rides breakdown, which is constantly. You start at the top and get to the bottom only to find it’s merely the end of another queue.
Project ocean is the code for oceans amount of cash you need to eat a handful of chips and a coke.
Its interesting as it all points to a ripsaw mk2.
Is the 14m just the base. I wonder what the width from the 2 supporting structures would be.
Im not a fan of spinning rides but itll be good to watch lol
sanbrooke adventures shaaaaawn fantastic neeeews on a disney cruiseeee love disney cruise how many series vlogs will you be doing have a phenomenal time on cruise and hopefully meet soon your content is absolutely incredible fantastic phenomenal amazing great content
Brilliant news! Really interesting to see what will actually be here!
There were rumours of a three ride deal with Huss. I'm still leaning towards a Topspin of some sort too many coincidences in the planning app
Was this just for Towers or across the Merlin chain?
It was supposed to be for Towers given they need 3-4 new flats at a minimum @@solskjaer1195
@@solskjaer1195 just Towers I heard, lets face it they need 3 as a bare minimum
will be keeping a close eye on this!
thanks for the upload guys
I can imagine it will be a wild swing by ART Engineering. This is a top spin kind ride but for the whole family with water feature and also thrilling ride circles. Would be the perfect fit there and also a good addition to Alton Towers. You can find already existing wild swing at fantasiana in Austria and in Germany at Potts park. Also at tripsdrill will be a wild swing installed later this year. 🎉
It certainly could be and would definitely fit on this location!
Exciting times at towers , very likely working on this closed season for 2025 opening, would also like to see a indoor breakdance at the park ,would say this would fit well in X sector. Multi ride Huss deal ?
Would love to see that happen!
Also no sky ride again this season and been told this is Galactica last season wonder what they going put in its place ???
A nebula would fit nicely if themed to nemesis and it could be black and red tentacles. Think it will be 2025 and will include a change to Galactica theming too.
Oh how exciting a new ride at Alton Towers
My only gripe would be the cycle they chose! Ripsaw and Rameses were so tame compared to Danters travelling top spin. Although Rameses did have a second more intense ride (they gave riders the option to get off) I don’t remember ripsaw being all that. One thing I did notice is it didn’t age well (none of them did) 😂
keep it up theme park worldwide
Great vlog Shawn. I do hope its a Ripsaw like ride. I do Miss that flat ride.
It’ll be interesting to see!
Suspended topspin! Fantastic addition
I’m not 100% certain, but we could be looking at one of zamperla’s water drop towers known as the Big Wavez. The structure itself stands over 70 ft tall, with a 50 ft tall drop and it creates a big splash at the bottom. That’s where the ocean part could come into play aside from the rumors of a Topspin style attraction. However, with the structure they’re building I don’t know the design specs lineup, unless Merlin and Alton towers is working on a custom design. Plus, where there’ll be a passage underneath the structure don’t know if they can dig lower to make the specs work with the tree height restriction the park has. Just some food thought, I was envisioning this when I heard project ocean. However, I think the Big wavez is also more of a water park attraction, but I think some dry parks have installed it. A water ride of some kind would be a good fit since the Flume was removed over 7 years ago in preparation for Wickerman.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
so so so excited for a disney cruise series incredible mascots mickey is a fantastic phenomenal actor costume i love all characters especially a mouse named chucky e cheese mickey is incredible so is the themed park favorite part of the 2024 year so far is watching your channel grow
It’s coming up!
It's ABOUT Time ALTON towers had a PERMANENT FLAT ride!
The tunnel splits the dark side ( nemesis) and the light side ( roller coaster restaurant, Galactica and Project Ocean) 😮🎉
The clamouring for flat rides at Alton Towers baffles me, to be honest. Epic Universe is opening with two in the entire park and I've not seen anyone complaining about it.
Look back to 2013, we had nemesis sub terra, ripsaw, enterprise, submission. Since 2015 none of those rides got replaced (apart from sub terra till recently) which caused the coasters to have a way too high of a queue time. cant speak on epic universe but with alton towers, they have lost almost every single thrill flat ride and it never got replaced which affects capacity massively, which in short means longer queues
Epic Universe isn't Alton Towers.
I feel that Alton Towers really needs them!
My first thought was a Tourbillon, maybe an Intamin version but I'm thinking that's too much of a gamble so more along the lines of a Backflash-Suspended Windshear
Its what Alton Towers has needed for so long - i'm really excited for the future of the park now
I really want it to be a huss topspin. I never got to ride one because ripsaw closed before my time and i was too scared for rameses revenge or it was closed. One time, I was about to ride and there was a powercut across the entire park!
What type of ride would it be, a spinning ride or a swinging ride
They shoud create two rides, one called:
The Shawnado.
the other:
Charlottosuss.
In the ThemeParkWorldwide area of the park.
Huss did say they have been on Park at Alton Towers so I do think they are the once putting the new ride in could be a custom version of the Top Spin. The over thing not related to this site but could Enterprise come back and that be what Huss is doing at Alton Towers
It’ll be interesting to see!
I will be going to Alton Towers on 18th and 19th April this year (Splash Landings 18th, park 19th).
Have fun!
Mondial Diablo (albeit 1m too high) or Mondial Swinger? The latter seems family thrill and very much a crowd pleaser I think …
Could it be something like the old sombrero ride at Drayton, they could theme it as an octopus/kraken alien type monster? It would fit in with the ocean theme.
But I've no idea for sizing if it would fit to the scale?
fantastic yeeees neeeeeeews updateeeeeees
Waikiki wave? Top spin type ride with water theme.
Hi Shawn, would love to see Ripsaw come back. I used to really enjoy that ride and I think it would be a perfect addition.
Living local to Alton Towers I’m told this ride is currently “put on hold” before any commitment to build.
Indoor drop tower maybe?
It’ll be an outdoor ride built on top of the base! Nemesis Sub Terra is also right nearby!
Could it be ripsaw reborn 🤔 now that would be awesome 😎💯
Nice one Shawn! Great explanation and reasoning!
Thank you!
Hahaha Miami wave park model arrives lmao
Planning permission has been submitted for ‘ripsaw cafe’ This is exiting news!!!
Looks awsome thanks for the info Shawn
Thanks for watching!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide big fan bro
As someone who already knows what is coming I love seeing the speculation
Speculation is all part of the fun!
Shawn the videos are amazing 👍👍
great video shawn hope it’s a good one 😃
I would LOVE a topspin, but literally WHATEVER they put in there I'm already just happy there's a flat ride coming
GREAT MOVE
What about that kinda wajamacallit drop tower that drops into water??? 👀
I don't mind much what it is as long as it's not a flying theater I don't mind flying theaters but i find something a bit more exciting could be in the same space
Here me out, I feel like I want a story to forbidden valley that follows. Nemesis into Galatica, - this could be re- themed into an escape pod style ride to escape earth from the nemesis creature, followed by this new flat ride. ?? What do you think?
Sounds very good!
Great news update as always Shawn
Ripsaw’s revenge is back
Project ocean here we come
The new ride is rumoured to have 40 seats possibly a top spin and 18 meter high
Would a tourbillon fit? Tourbillon is french for whirlwind, they sometimes form over the Ocean, I don't know, I'm reaching now haha
Possibly so!
Great to see, maybe they could tie this into the retheme of Galactica and open them both in 2025!
It’s the classic 3D cinema from rollercoaster tycoon
Ocean riptide ripsaw ?
Is that under the tree line or does it not have to be??
It will be
Looks amazing 👏
Do you think it could be Egyptian or Roman themed, maybe like a Mummy ride? Shawn.
I think it’ll fit with the Phalanx theme of the valley
Is that better or worse? I know this sounds stupid, but what is the Phalanx based on?x@@ThemeParkWorldwide
Could it be one of those drop towers with a water splash at the bottom?
It's about time AT addressed this issue
Wouldn't it be a topspin in a themed "box"/building like Talocan at Phantasialand
Drift coaster incoming as you enjoyed it so much lmao 😂😂😂
Can you imagine 😂
What about the new Zamperla Big Wavez model?
I've acctualy got inside information from a nemesis herself, she says the ride is going to be a retrosquad ride 😮😮😮
Maybe a Zamperla Super Air Race Shawn??
My Guess is the new kmg ride Lunarix
Could be miles off here but, it's called project ocean, the only flat I can think of that has anything to do with ocean is a wave swinger 🤔 ocean, wave... I dunno 😅
Where can I find all of the planning documents?
www.gov.uk/search-register-planning-decisions
On the Staffordshire planning portal
Great video!
what theme could it be phalanx?
does not seem to be access to the top by stairs so i think it could be a dark ride ??
It’ll definitely be an outdoor ride!
yes I see what you mean the only thing I can think of named project ocean is a environment thing also why the lift with a ride like a top spin ( not for customers with mobility issues )
Completely agree, fun fair rides have no place in theme parks.
Imagine they purchase the new kmg lunarix we know alton towers like new concepts
Mini Talocan I hope
