  • The closed season is upon us and Alton Towers aren't wasting any time and have already removed their brand new for 2021 rides, the Retrosquad! These 3 rides, being temporary fun fair flat rides, have already been packed up as noticed by multiple people and sent off to their next place of operation! Will we see the return of Funk N' Fly, Mixtape and Roller Disco, or will we see brand new rides to replace them for the 2022 season??

    I reckon Towers created The Retrosquad to see what the public think of flat rides and what sort they like before they invest in a proper flat ride that will stay at the park which explains your theory of more being added in the future.

    OMG the removal of these rides are very big clues to us getting an rmc at thorpe park. see, the word "removal" has the letters r and m. and that the start of that sentence i said see or c. boom. 100% proof that we get an rmc 🙃

    Hello There, this is a great video with decent commentary throughout, thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective, it's much appreciated. I personally think we're most likely to get three new Retrosquad Flat rides and then they'll eventually settle on three permanent rides and attractions. Cheers Peter :)

    @arthurvasey Před 2 lety

    The Roller Disco is little more than a sophisticated version of the waltzers, as seen at travelling funfairs over the years!
    My second youngest sister used to like riding them with the safety bars open - as did a lot of other people - but I think someone fell out once, so now they have to be closed - in fact, the ride won’t start until such a time as they are closed - which often necessitates closing the bar on an empty car - either it locks shut and can’t be opened, or, if someone tries to open it, it stops the ride!

    Those three will never come back to Alton being as one is up for sale (mixtape) and the other 2 are brand-new rides to the showmen that will be traveled around the country. Now showgrounds have opened again.
    It would be nice to see a rotation of fairground machines yearly at Alton being a throw back to its origins. But in the long run Alton NEEDs to invest in new permanent flat rides.

    The fandango fairground ride is remaining near gangster granny? I’m guessing it will stay there until they open new rides in that area as they have 4D cinema to do something with? And I think cuckoo land as being changed to fit with that area.

    They have to return as you have said where they were are huge gaps for Alton towers. They need something or else the park isn’t that attractive. Merlin need to go their game though as all the parks are getting stale abs boring and these three rides always do well on a fist going. I thought their was a fourth the twist / sizzler that was in DW land. Has that gone or did it stay?
    I think all the rides went to winter wonderland. I know that the spinning rollercoaster from Fantasy Island comes to winter wonderland every year.
