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 🤞🤞
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
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
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
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).
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
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.
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
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.
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
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 😅
I don't mind flat rides but are more into roller coaster i live in hull and just wait for the fair which is huge the largest in Europe and is like a all you can eat flat ride buffet
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
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.
The Retro Squad are great. You say they stand out but Towers isnt exactly themed well. Galactica next to Nemesis and Wickerman next to Mutiny Bay. They are all great rides and I think most people have a downer on them because of content creators keep on putting them down. They will not replace them with anything next season so queues will just get longer again.
queues wont be any longer than they already are. We lose 3 okayish capacity rides for some big high capacity rides with nemesis hex and the sky ride. (more reliable too)
5:00 the moment, looking forward to that video tomorrow :)
Same bru
This is the best Alton towers resort and SPA news I have ever heard 😂
Actually acknowledged the spa. 😂
What size is sky q box memory!?!

5:04 the moment
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.
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 🤞🤞
sub terra is back
Yeah I hope so to but ripsaw is gone away whereas sub terra was still st the park but it was just dismantled
They cant anyway top spin is extinct
Sub terra is back I went on it 2 weeks ago
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
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
Absolutely fantastic ideas

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
Finally we might get a new Top Spin or one of those cool new HUSS rides. This is awesome news, Great Video Dan!
Fingers crossed! Thank you!!
@@DigitalDanor… octononauts: the ride: part 2
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).
Now they can make room for
Octonauts: The Coaster 2
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
Yesss Retro Squad departs!!!! Hopefully we will see some permanent flat rides arrive!!!
First finally
Bumper cars like tuk tuk racers at chessington
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
instead of temporary carnival rides, PERMANENT ONES WITH THEMING (OLD BARRELS AND COLOUR SCHEME), in all seriousness this is a great change for towers
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.
Star fighter (or twistatron as you know it) was fully refurbished and all ready for iron bru carnival, loverly machine and only one in UK
Air: ~comes back~
Dan: ~eats entire closet~
Please ripsaw !! I love it and I need you to eat your shoe!😂😂
THE WAR IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!
Dan you made a mistake at 5:04
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
I always thought a zamperla (blade/metal) theme in X Sector would fit perfectly
Dan dont worry there bringing them back and theming them to the futuristic trio
Looking forward to seeing you eat your shoe!
You are the best UA-camr ever
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.

(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
my wishing bracelet worked :O
5:07 shit. this is where it all started. forgot how long ago it was!
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...

Imagine if the day before the 2024 open day alton towers put at a trailer about the retro squad return
RIP the retro squad, they kept the queues down a bit
I really want ripsaw back as I never got the chance to ride it before it went 😢😢
I don't mind flat rides but are more into roller coaster i live in hull and just wait for the fair which is huge the largest in Europe and is like a all you can eat flat ride buffet
Alton Towers Resort And Spa have made the right decision. Now more people will want to visit Alton Towers Resort And Spa!
Does anyone know the name of the song used in the intro?
You are my favourite youtuber digital dan
Edit: remove Galactica and wicker man or remove nemesis
Thanks so much!!
Hey Dan, what is your favourite 80s song?
I hope they replace them all with strata coasters
Fully themed Break dance would be awesome
you guys noticed that Twistatron got reprogrammed.
IF RIpsaw came back, which would add more lore to Forbidden Valley
The retro squad rides are the saddest excuse for flat rides I have ever seen, SO glad to see them go 😂😂
THANK GOD!! Although they are... Slightly fun. They do not fit towers at all.
FINALMENTE!!!!
Oblivion's track at the entrance of tunnel is looking rather rusty! 2024 restoration?????????
The dream would be relocating slammer and renovating it. Might have to dig a big hole for it to go in at Alton Towers. Merlin, make it happen.
Imagine 😍😍
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
Zamperla Backslash windshear, Zamperla Hawk and a drop tower. Them's our guesses.
Wait... there coming back for another 1 or2 seasons
Finally some real rides are coming
I’d like some of that budget allocated to me too 😂😂😂
OMG there finally going.Let's hope ripsaw comes back
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.
It would be a bone shaker!
Maybe they will get a package deal on Zamperla flats.. 🤔
Whats wrong with Spinjam? Great flat ride.
If ripsaw comes back ill shave my head
I’ll hold you to that, as I will my shoe eating
They should do a Star Tours type ride exploring the Nemesis cave system
I think they should dig a hole where twistatron was and add a launched towrr
YES
Nein! I actually really liked retro squad, they're not even going to replace them with anything
Spimjam can leave same with funk n fly but no not twistatron it's so good and it just came in
spinjam gets vaulted
the imersive themed area will come alive again in 2024
Finally 🎉
Why is everyone do happy that there going are they replacing them with other rides ?
Why does it feel like theme parks coordinate to release loads of news at the same time
Thibk thf would do something ib forbidden valley. X factor will depend on future plans
what about the evil twistatran
🤔 🤔 🤔
I think one new flat each of the next 3 years. Floorless Topspin for Ripsaws Revenge
Sandbox mode enabled
The Retro Squad are great. You say they stand out but Towers isnt exactly themed well. Galactica next to Nemesis and Wickerman next to Mutiny Bay. They are all great rides and I think most people have a downer on them because of content creators keep on putting them down.

queues wont be any longer than they already are. We lose 3 okayish capacity rides for some big high capacity rides with nemesis hex and the sky ride. (more reliable too)
Is this the end of the flat ride crisis at Alton Towers or the start of things getting worse with more permanent seating areas...
Wait so Alton opened twistertron in march and are closing twistertron in November 😂
Good idea, get rid of the retro squad, don't replace them, queue times go up , sell more fast tracks. Good old Merlin.
Icon had another roll back today
Sooooooooooo exited
They should just sign a deal with Zamperla to build a bunch of flats
Thank god
I would love to see a zierer star shape but I would likely never happen
Watch them leave and come back rebranded instead 😂
Nice vid even tho am 20 second througj
Would you eat another shoe if Submission came back?
We all know what is going in the place of funk n fly.......
Hold on, you KNOW about Towers' little secret?!
Can we get a worlds first bigger, faster and inverting zamperla nebulaaaa 😱😱😱😱.
Also, a little bird told me, that Alton Towers didn't invest any money into Alton Towers Retro Squad, Mellors apparently GAVE them the rides!
Why would they do that?
I think slammer will move from Thorpe to Alton
Not long ago i saw mellors that own the retro squad at the site and i thought retro squad going at the end of the year 💀
Digital Dan 👍 (NOTICE ME PLEASE)
It aint twistin’ anymore
Hi
I thought the fireworks were because they were leaving at first💀
I’m going to Alton towers tomorrow lol
EAT THE SHOE 👟👟👟👟👟👟👟👟
I'm not I love the retro squad I will miss them
😢
It means they aren't going to hire flat rides for the 5 months that they are closed, I reckon..
😂😂
this is great now they need to re theam david welliams wordl and i will be happy
ripsaw reborn
Yaaaaaaaaaay
Can you make a video on theme park tycoon 2 please
Already did that!!
Ok
