Screamscape has a rumour that Ripsaw will be removed at the end of the season. It also states that Thorpe are going to get a smaller/flat ride to put near their new coaster... You work it out...!!! What do you think?

Not sure it would be Ripsaw though. Would be a tight fit in that area any way.

The theming would fit with the new coaster though...

I would not have thought they would want to take people away from chessington though and their huss top spin??

I'd agree with that, Rameses has been there some time and probably a lot of people in the Thorpe catchment area has probably ridden it before. Saying that though nothing suprises me so it could happen.

I think the Top Spin is still a great ride and would still be popular, I just feel it would be nicer to have a new style ride.

I cannot see it going to Thorpe either. It would just not be worth it in the long term. I hope though when it doe's go that Alton don't just leave it as a empty space as there flat rides is a little thin.

Went to AT today and did notice that they have moved the entrance to the Blade to the other side near Nemesis. Could this be so they can get rid of Ripsaw, fence off that area and build a new Woodie ready for opening in 2010????

Maybe something big is going to happen in that area. I'm sure they are due a coaster based on previous years!
