  • The Retrosquad is finally leaving the Alton Towers Resort, Spinjam, Funk N Fly and Twistatron have all been running at the resort for the 2023 season and many years prior we've seen others such as Roller Disco and Mixtape - but recently we had an announcement from Alton Towers saying that the rides will be LEAVING on the 5th of November!!! What could this mean for the park and will anything replace them?? Lets chat about that!

    This is the best Alton towers resort and SPA news I have ever heard 😂

    I’m really happy to see them go! Let’s just hope we FINALLY get more flat rides at towers now! If they can bring sub terra back, surely they can bring ripsaw back too 🤞🤞

    • @jla8633
      @jla8633 Před 8 měsíci

      sub terra is back

    • @TwistedTracksYT
      @TwistedTracksYT Před 8 měsíci +2

      Yeah I hope so to but ripsaw is gone away whereas sub terra was still st the park but it was just dismantled

      @jsjsjdjdfndndndn Před 8 měsíci

      personally i think that alton towers would be able to theme a zamperla disk’o really well into x sector, and the idea of having one there would be really good anyway

  • @ppooooll
    @ppooooll Před 8 měsíci +8

    New for 2024 my flat ride design Tornado strike. It doesn't fit in with any of the theming but it would be the first of its kind.

  • @Coaster_Cray_Cray
    @Coaster_Cray_Cray Před 8 měsíci +7

    Honestly, I wouldn’t hate it if Twistatron was replaced with a Zamperla Endeavour. It’s basically a modern enterprise so it would sort of be the flat ride equivalent to the Nemesis renovations. A modern upgrade on an Alton Towers Classic.
    Spin Jam could literally just be replaced with grass like Submission was.
    I wonder though, if there would be any flat rides added where Roller Disco was

    I hope that at fireworks there's some kinda thing with the led drones where it looks like they're flying off to the stars

  • @Tomneom
    @Tomneom Před 8 měsíci +3

    I could see a Zamperla Nebulaz (On the Site of spin jam, basically has the same effect as submission) and an Endeavor (On the site of Twistatron/Enterprise)
    Probably a 3rd Zamperla on the site of Funk N fly, but if forbidden valley as a whole is getting redone for 2024 (Galactica is being refreshed, nemesis full retrack, and the buildings being done up) Floorless topspin, Ripsaw's Revenge, PLEEAASSSEE Towers

  • @l0wh1n
    @l0wh1n Před 8 měsíci +7

    Finally we might get a new Top Spin or one of those cool new HUSS rides. This is awesome news, Great Video Dan!

    Yesss Retro Squad departs!!!! Hopefully we will see some permanent flat rides arrive!!!

  • @Untamed_Mana
    @Untamed_Mana Před 8 měsíci +1

    instead of temporary carnival rides, PERMANENT ONES WITH THEMING (OLD BARRELS AND COLOUR SCHEME), in all seriousness this is a great change for towers

  • @JonathanJimbo
    @JonathanJimbo Před 8 měsíci +1

    Spin Jam (specifically those last 30 seconds when it accellerates) I believe was the highest sustained G-Force ride in the park (and I've been on pretty much all of the main rides).

    • @user-zp4ge3yp2o
      @user-zp4ge3yp2o Před 8 měsíci

      I loved it, though it did force all the blood to my feet

  • @Haddock_Muncher
    @Haddock_Muncher Před 8 měsíci +3

    unpopular opinion but while i hated how the other ones looked funk and fly was fitting in relatively well with forbidden valley, I still am glad it is being removed though

  • @RoganGames1
    @RoganGames1 Před 8 měsíci

    Yay!!!! (16 seconds after upload les go) But like. I'm so happy. Towers will be not a fun fair and X-sector will finally be immersive once more! I hope we get some permanent flat rides though.

  • @kido1329
    @kido1329 Před 8 měsíci

    Dan did you know on the zierier rides website. The potential carts for Legolands new coaster are there as concept art. They call it the dueling reverse coaster

  • @adamwillis5013
    @adamwillis5013 Před 8 měsíci

    I always thought a zamperla (blade/metal) theme in X Sector would fit perfectly

  • @dean2_

    RIP the retro squad, they kept the queues down a bit

  • @Oggy3000_
    @Oggy3000_ Před 8 měsíci +8

    To be honest I don't see there being any new replacements any time soon... they're already got a lot of projects happening at the moment, so they'll probably want to get those out of the way first before they consider looking at these empty plots...
    Merlin don't seem to like flat rides and the retro squad were clearly just something temporary, so I wouldn't be surprised if the X-sector plots get merged together and become a small walk-through attraction like black mirror labyrinth or something... thinking realistically 😅

  • @Liamiscool22
    @Liamiscool22 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Dan dont worry there bringing them back and theming them to the futuristic trio

  • @tipperthehamster8414

    Zamperla Backslash windshear, Zamperla Hawk and a drop tower. Them's our guesses.

    Edit: remove Galactica and wicker man or remove nemesis

  • @brenonymouscoasterdesign6193

    I think it will depend on what Project Horizon is - if it's an Intamin they might go for a package deal and get a cheaper flat ride.
    (Intamin) Gyroswing in Forbidden Valley to replace Funk'n Fly, sweeping over the path
    HUSS Breakdance in X Sector to replacex Enterprise / Twistatron
    Maybe in future something like a Zamperla Hawk

  • @aidanstead7272
    @aidanstead7272 Před 8 měsíci

    to be honest I kinda saw this coming from a mile away especially after Sub-Terra was brought back, as due to Sub-Terra also being back it kinda helps with the capacity itself

  • @ItsParadise304
    @ItsParadise304 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I hope they replace them all with strata coasters

  • @jammyjolly1401
    @jammyjolly1401 Před 8 měsíci

    They cant add any tall rides such as a drop tower or a freak out as it will go over the tree height limit sadly. They could make the entrance underground tho.

    @tomevans1388 Před 8 měsíci

    Bring in a Zamperla nebulaz that inverts and you're on to a winner - Not actually sure why they haven't made one where the seats rotate fully? Would love to see a return of Ripsaw II, very unlikely but would be an earth shaker.
