Hopefully it will fit the feel of the area it’ll be very good to have A topspin return to the UK seeing as they almost appeared to be a dying breed. They need to do something in keeping with Air/galactica now.. wild thought what if it became a second invasion site complimenting swarm down in Thorpe
A great video as always matey 😁👍. Thank you for the information, it looks like a really cool and ace ride. I’m glad you had a good time out in Germany mate 😊👍
One thing I do admire towers for is the theming which I know sounds obvious as it is a theme park but I do genuinely think the story and connection to nemesis is rather brilliant and very imaginative… I’m just curious to know if when the time comes to give oblivion, Rita etc some much needed TLC is re-tracking, if they’ll also re theme it? In other news, I last went towers over 20 years ago and had a scare on ripsaw that put me off for life so unfortunately this new ride is a no from me… if/when I get to go again!
Can’t wait for this, it’ll be my first topspin, as I wasn’t really an enthusiast since 2021, and I’ve never had the money to go abroad. An interesting theme, perhaps if galactica gets rethemed the blue could be nemesis’ venom that is used as a form of energy to power jets and such. Just a thought. If it is lit up though, forbidden valley will look like a mini aurora borealis on the ground.
I just watched a video of Ripsaw from the same year I went on it (1997), and the fountains didn't touch the riders, they just got very close. Weird as I have a vivid memory of getting soaked!
Ripsaw very much did get you wet UNLESS you sat on the edges where you were there we’re not water jets. The ride operator had a kind of ‘jet throttle’ lever and manually controlled the jets
@@tonygold1971 Ah, that seems plausible. It was one of the hottest days of the year when I visited in 97. It would make sense for them to be able to adjust the water jets depending on the weather.
I really like flat rodes. Although im not so keen on the height of it. Ripsaw was really good back in the day. I hope they haven't made it too extreme since theres no rides that are fun anymore.
what they going to use the melting acid on though , melt down galactica ? orrr is blade been spewed an thats why its gone it was the first test victim 😂😂
Looks like an amazing flat ride for the park and should keep the punters happy. I'll probably go on it a few times just to experience it and then never go on it again because I'm purely all about the rollercoasters at theme parks and amusement parks. 🎢

Cheers bud. Have you ever ridden a top spin or will this be your first?
@ You’re welcome mate , and this will be my first top spin 😊. I’m not sure what to expect tbh😂🫣👍😁
Sounds cool hope to go on it sometime

I can’t see theme retracking anything else. I suspect they’ll just be binned.
@ hopefully not for a long time!
is this not a rehashed Ramases Revenge from Chessington ?
Similar. And similar to Ripsaw that used to be at Towers. It’s different in that this version is floorless with riders back to back.
RIP saw you would get a soaking, the fountains were controlled by the ride op.
Great Video Chris 😊.
Thanks mate 😀

Yeah I’m curious to see what (if anything) they do with Galactica later
@@coaster_dad then again, wouldn’t be surprised if they tore it down and expanded CBeebies land… two of the biggest rivals, nemesis and postman pat😆😆

Interesting. I never rode it. But so many others have said the same that you did 🤷♂️ maybe it was different cycles?

Thanks so much for sharing
No probs 🙂

It’s possible to be extreme and fun at the same time. Talocan in Phantasialand is very extreme and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 😉
Excited to watch you all go on it, then i can go on confidently at a later date knowing what to expect 😂
Ha ha. I’ll be the guinea pig.
@coaster_dad yes please 🤣 thank you
Something to cheer me up after my hand lol
"FV where everything is red and black
Galactica:👁️👄👁️
@RubenHATESRides 🙈
Im not sure thet can colour the water if you are getting wet on it, cant dye the guests these days 🤣
Ha ha. They said it will use lights to colour it green 😉
what they going to use the melting acid on though , melt down galactica ? orrr is blade been spewed an thats why its gone it was the first test victim 😂😂
😂
fake news
I mean it’s not when the park shared it 🤷♂️
@willrenyolnds - Perhaps be able to spell your own name before throwing around "fake news" accusations. Cheers.

Not keeping me happy..all the hype for what's basically a funfair ride
