Why?, Where?,
When?
Ripsaw was another ride that
was installed when Forbidden Valley received it's major theming.
It is a jazzed up Top Spin ride, with the added element of
water jets that are guaranteed to get you wet.
But What
Is It Like?
Ripsaw is themed as a piece
of shrapnel projected out the hole which Nemesis dug when
it was discovered trying to free itself. After taking few
minutes to find the hidden entrance to the queue you should
be greeted with a fairly small wait before you are strapped
in by rather restrictive and tight over the shoulder and lap
bar restraints. The ride varies from hour to hour, depending
on the queue length and generally what the ride operator in
control is like. Once the ride is off you will probably be
greeted with a inversion held in place then a few with the
two gondola arms pausing to fling the gondola over a few times,
then the ride operator will tease you with water before lowering
you down face first. This ride, if you're not going to ride
it, is a very good spectator ride and nearly always gathers
a crowd as you hear laughter and groans as the water jets
leap up into people faces.
This ride really
does vary a lot, you could get the standard program which
most people know like the back of their hand or you could
be treated to a different program, one warning, only go on
the last ride of the day if you want to go on the most extreme
(and I mean extreme) program and not be dry all the way home!
