Ripsaw

Ripsaw is the thrill ride that will give you the sensation of being inside a washing machine!

Don't expect anything less than a seriously intense Ripsaw, it'll flip you over and put you in a real spin, before giving you a good soaking.

The seating arrangement of Ripsaw sits in between two huge metal arms. These lift up and rotate, and then the centre carriage is also flipped numerous times - so you'll certainly go upside down. After that you're likely to be lowered into a stream of water jets, so you could get very, very wet!
