I'm not talking about any of the soundtracks here. I mean the noises which the rides and coasters actually make.
I have noticed as I walk round the park, that the attractions make some great noises which really do remind me of the park, and I have so many times refered to Thorpe Park's rides outside the park. For Example, the other day I was in a mates car and his brakes were making a noise just the same as Samurai powering up and down in the ride cycle and I loved it so much

Some of my personal favourites are:
- Nemesis Inferno pulling out of the station and that clonking noise which I "think" is made by each of the set wheels passing onto another section of the track.
- Samurai when slowing down and powering up.
- and Colossus leaving the top of the lift hill.

What are your favourite noises from the park?

Thank You

Rush in general noises.
Chainlift sounds

Slammer sounds like your pc !

Very good comparison there, and whenever I close down any applications it sounds like Slammer being e-stopped.

Does anyone know why Inferno makes that noise as it leaves the station??

Its a great noise but I cant remember hearing it on other B&M Inverts.

[Towers Tom]

I think it is just the floor lowering mechanism kicking in. Air at Alton Towers makes the same sound and it basically sounds as if the moveable floor is a hollow block that makes an echoed bang when it is jolted by the mechanism below.

Clicky So it isn't Air's best dispatch run but it got there in the end. I also like the floor lowering noise and the sounds of Samurai when it powers up or brakes.

Vampire brakes releasing in the station (dispatching ).. omfgoes makes me want to scream with pleasure...

[Dan]

Inferno Station stuff mentioned before
Rush's swings
Slammer's motors
Colossus lift hill
Colossus on the track (boomboomboomboom)
Stealth brake fins
Tidal Wave's lift chain

[Cringle]

Theres this like compressed air noise which often sounds gives a small bang noise which are used some some breaks on coasters which i love. The 'WOOOOOO' of the stealth breaks'. General chain lift noises. The alarm from samurai - one of bournemouth high streets traffic lights has that same alarm.

[Whiteknuckle]

Stealth launch and brake. Colossus cobra roll, the noisest bit of the ride. Rush, Inferno in general, (B&M's always sound good) and Tidal Wave coming down the drop, I love that rumble and then nothing but the sound of water then screams.

[Chris]

Stealth breaks and rush

[Sam P]

Stealth breaks, Colossus, tidal wave coming down the drop and detenator rising and dropping.

[Cringle]

Ahh yes the tidal wave rumble. In the arcade theres a certain jingle that always reminds me of thorpe too.

[treeis]

that little detonator hiss, seconds before it hurtles you to your peril:):) Clickaroonie Listen carefully. hsss..BANG
