Got an idea of how the Alton Towers Resort may develop over the coming seasons? Discuss it here.

I could definitely see that fitting in to the MOJ theme.

    Unfortunately AT couldn't get them due to such low throughput. New rides pull in fairly large crowds, robo arms couldn't cope.

    They could make it in a building which also goes underground and have multiple rooms with 2 4 seater robo arms back to back. Theme it around correcting more victims and have a pre show and maybe a post show after the ride

    If we cant have roboarm what about a Vekoma Time Warp. Its about same height that submission was and its one of those rides you try before your first looping coaster.

    Looking at the site yesterday where Submission once stood you wouldn't have guessed that there was a ride there. Most of the old queue line that was at the back of the ride and never used is still there so they do plan on using the site again.

    Yes thats why I suggested that ride the colours could be the same as submission, yet the experience would be different. I think I was one of the few peeps that actually liked submission.

    Don't know if this one has been brought up yet, but with Ripsaw also on the way out soon, why not put a top spin in here to replace it, and then the Ripsaw space might be used for a rollercoaster (obviously not only in that space, but it could include that space).

    People have been able to experience Ripsaw for nearly 20 years. Wouldn't you much rather something new and exciting than a copy of a ride you've been going on since the '90s?

    Out with the old and in with the new?

    we may not get any new ride at all. maybe just some arcade games, restaurant or a even seating area.

    Alton Towers specifically mentioned a re-development of the Submission site on social media therefore I think the development will be a ride as oppose to a restaurant as Alton Towers obviously think the development will be of public interest hence their announcement. Regarding the type of ride I would like to see replace Submission, I am still unsure.

    I have a feeling they will replace Submission at the end of this year, ready to open next year :sus:

    Its basically guaranteed that altons new flat next year is on the submission site. Also a thing to note is that taller flats can go there as the ground is rather low.

    Well they removed the ug swinger and the beastie and there sites are still empty. It took 8 years to use the black hole site again.
