Submission (Alton Towers) Submission was a Chance Rides Double Swinging Inverter located in the X-Sector area and was built in 2001. From 2005, the ride only operated one of its arms to save electricity and the ride's cycles were shortened. The slogan used in advertisement was 'Hang in there'. Following the area's theme, the ride was painted blue and was covered in a shiny metal, most likely steel. Each of its two arms had a counterweight in the shape of two metal spikes, which would sweep near to the ground like a scythe. The sequence was always the same, different to some other weight based rides that have numerous sequences, this was also probably to be more energy efficient. The Ride type itself is a rare flat-ride and not seen at a lot of themeparks, Submission did not have the best of reviews at Alton Towers mainly due to it having the same sequence (unlike others such as Ripsaw), the restraints were very similar to those on a Huss Top Spinner making it fairly uncomfortable to ride when inverted, breakdowns occasionally happened and as a result, queues were very short. In 2013 it was later revealed that Submission would be closed after the end of the 2013 season by which there is a vacant grass area where it once stood next to the break-block section on Oblivion. The grass area is often referred to as the 'Submission memorial ground' by thrill-seekers which has become a popular sitting area in the park section.
