But it is dead

The biggest issue with Alton Towers is now the lack of flat rides. It has a good selection of amazing rides, but very little for the rest of the family who don’t enjoy rides, and it’s good to have filler to lower queue lengths. Yeah

@chazzwozzio

That's a shame. Because my fave ride are the small flat rides that spin

Still feel like Towers are hugely missing a solid flat ride line up, especially after removing Ripsaw and Submission. Taking into account the planning restrictions with regards to height, you would think the park would be sprawling with good, modern and proven flat rides. Excluding a drop tower, they could surely work in a Larson Loop, air race or gyro swing etc etc. There is space in the park for such attractions and would fill out the park's lineup.

I just hope that's the next big addition. The pirate area especially seems so out of place now that I think that area, the area where ripsaw was, and some of the land down bottom of xsector, could really use some flat rides as a big park upgrade. It currently feels really stilted the layout of the park, and the fact that there's like 1 major flat ride now is silly

When it is a “futuristic torture device” and it succeeds, you know Alton Towers REALLY goes hog wild with their rollercoaster ideas

This was my first ‘thrill ride’ when I was a kid and couldn’t get onto the bigger rides. All I can remember was how fun it was. I probably wouldn’t say the same almost a decade later however fond memories none the less.

Wouldn't it make more sense to go on it once, then more?

The thing about the crushing restraints is that when they first come down it's a solid "oof" and THEN the lap bar crushes it into your gut. I saw people have to request to get off as they couldn't breath or were in pain. And then the ride was just. . .meh. Middle rows you felt nothing other than your blood moving and as said it didn't exactlty feel wild. You just wanted it to end to free your ribs.

Lol. Canada's Wonderland has the exact opposite relationship with flat rides. We have a whole bunch of really interesting ones. Even the older ones like Cyclone are still fairly popular from what I know. And if course we have the one and only Sledge Hammer XD

I remember a college trip back in about 2006 where we got on virtually nothing all day. Busiest I've ever seen the park. Queued for nearly 3 hours just for Nemesis and had to leave the Oblivion queue after 2.5 hours without riding because our coach was leaving. We saw no queue for Submission so we thought we'd ride that instead. It broke down at the end of the cycle. We ended up stuck, painfully for around 20 minutes off the ground in those restraints, wondering if our coach would leave without us. I remember it being a lot more boring to ride than it looked until it broke down. We had to run for the coach, which was thankfully still waiting for us and got greeted with a bollocking for being late. Theme parks are really lousy when busy.

Didnt know that it had been removed last time I went a few years ago with my brother. Oblivion and Submission were some of the first rides I went on as a kid, and when I got to x sector and found the patch of grass my heart sank. Still took a picture same as every trip of us on submission, just sat on the floor with arms up this time. That ride will be very much missed by us.

Ah Submission, that one ride I always wanted to go on, but it never opened or broke down when I came close. Thank goodness I managed to get on Ripsaw.

I'm not gonna lie, I could binge watch all your videos 3 times and never got bored

Reminds me of how Knoebels kept 1001 Natcht running until just a few years ago. It was a hassle for maintenance and the ride ops had to balance out both sides because it had a single arm and not the double arm version.

Submission used to be one of my favourite rides when i was kid the fact it was uncomfortable made it 10x better for me who the hell goes to alton towers to be comfortable

I would LOVE to ride the Smiler! Unfortunately I'm in the US and a poor enthusiast so probably not gonna happen but I can't imagine getting off the Smiler and then getting on Submission. Flat rides don't do anything for me. With that said I can see how this ride could be exciting and fun. I just don't think I would want to spend time riding it when I could be in line for Oblivion.

I rode this at Alton towers in 2018 it was the most powerful and painful ride ever feel like you bang your head coming down I was 17 when I rode this. Those bars were so tight man and a rough ride glad it’s gone now.

I used to work the Time Warp at Geauga Lake for several summers. Never saw the 2 arms work together. Please do a whole video on Geauga Lake. It was an amazing place to work. So sad to see the park closed and now demolished.

Yes! Kemah Boardwalk has one in Kemah, Texas. I is one of those "bark is worse" than its bite (other than painful restraints) It was definitely a ride you were more than glad to run to the when you were released! LOL! I also call those rides (coin suckers) Intamin rides were notorious for getting the chain out of your pocket & stuck in the seats.

I grew up in the 90s in jersey and went to the park many times the ride was there. I think I rode it but I can't remember as it was like, 20 years ago.

I enjoyed this ride. Miss it

I was once watching a version of this with a static car and was lucky enough to see the person in the front throw up while inverted and then 'catch' it again at full speed on the drop.😂
