Ripsaw was a Top Spin built by German manufacturer HUSS Park Attractions that previously operated at Alton Towers in Alton, Staffordshire, England, UK.
History
Planning permission for a new Top Spin ride was granted by the local council in summer 1996. The ride was approved on the basis that it was significantly smaller than its predecessor, the Thunderlooper, which was operating under temporary planning permission which expired at the end of 1996.[1] It opened on 15 March 1997.[2] The ride was removed following the 2015 season.[3]
