Thanks, found the brilliant "where are they now" thread after I posted. Was a top ride, sit on the front and scream

What happened to the NEW FOR 2010 spider crabs, they were making a big fuss over, I think they only lasted 1 year...
also what ever happened to the Coffin Photo op in Haunted Hollow?
(the one that got replaced with the 2 gargoyals that growl and fire smoke out their bum)
also also what happened to the smoke machines behind the gargoyals in Haunted Hollow?
also also also what happend to the Woodland Walk?
also also also also what did they do with the old Franklyn Skelvin and Phil costumes (I saw the old Patch costume in the hotel last scarefest.
)

I know the one you mean Dom, but it was definitely used at the start of Molly Crowe in 2015, so I thought Chessington's must have been a replica? Unless it was taken there recently, after Molly finished.Dom wrote:This one I actually know the answer too (I think).Count-Vonduel wrote:

Life is a roller coaster. You can either scream every time you hit a bump or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it.

It was in Vampires queue line before Molly Crowe, so it's possible it came back up then ended up in its new location on return

Now I think about it, I think I remember seeing the one at chessington on YouTube then going to towers scarefest and seeing it at Alton too....so they probably have 2!

I'd lean towards assuming that there is one at Towers and at Chessington, I just can't see them lugging it half way across the country and back.

The theming was used in 2015 (not sure if they retained it last year too) by Warwick Castle in The Haunted Hollows.S.J_O'Grady wrote:Did they? I've not heard about that, can you explain?Count-Vonduel wrote:They did with the Scary Tales theming!

Thank you... next time I’ll make sure I read the “complete guide to past AT rides and where they are page” whoopsDan wrote:Close, but no cigar!Phild94 wrote:“What ever happened to...”
The black hole?
Did the original ride get moved to a ride in Germany did I hear at some point?
It was relocated to Furuvik in Sweden under the name Rocket.
Just came across it after reading your response! But thanks again

Bit of a late reply, but quite a lot of the ride is actually up by Merlin Studios North, behind Cloud Cuckoo Land.Dan wrote:It got sent to the scrap heap :lolPhNx Survivor wrote:What ever happened to Submission?

Why remove a ride and keep part of its remains for years? That’s quite depressing

Assuming they're not salvaging bits off of it, which is somewhat unlikely, the disposal costs would be pretty expensive.PhNx Survivor wrote: Why remove a ride and keep part of its remains for years? That’s quite depressing
