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 :P

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

Slammer sounds like your pc :D!


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

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

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.

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.

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.
