  1. ^The acceleration change never actually happened in '07. It always had a max of 1.9 secs from the start. It varies though. Used to know an engineer on it. It was a play on Marketing. It could go much faster than its set at. Much faster. Xcelerator at +100mph:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2b6OaI0BXM

    Rush

    ^ A does swing higher and faster than B. Thats normal for any Screamin' Swing. But B wasn't even making vertical on friday. The engineer was batching to monitor it, and we spoke to him for a bit. He says 'The americans' (S&S) will be out in a few weeks to sort out software.
  3. Good on the park for doing the new loop on Stealth. The atmosphere surrounding the ride now is by far better. Sounds like the volume levels are right this time around. The speakers cut out less.
  4. I remember Saws main area theme played across lost city, dome (lower and upper), entrance and beach on the 12th March in the morning for the media. Sounded really eriee and great! Then it cut out very quickly and changed to the norm when they left... thought I'd give it a mention. But it was really good like that. Made the toilet trip interesting with a dog barking at you.
  5. Stealth would of been far better with T-Bars.Oh, and did a mirror of Xcelerator, just with the 2 stations still. That would of been very good.

    Rush

    Seems to be on the 9 swing setting at the moment. A fair length. I love Rush! Better than Skyhawk. Shock? Well Skyhawk is always on 7 swings and it sways from side to side. As soon as its drawn out swings get going it stops... 1, Yes.. ONE high swing!! Not good enough! Rush > SH!!
  7. Thanks James!I remember I while ago I started looking for all the tracks and I could only download about 15 of them. So this is good stuff to me. Thanks again!Just thinking, isn't there a track involving trees and rocks?
  8. I always normaly get the first ride on Inferno front row. The first 2 hours are always rushing about. I typically do Inferno 3 times then run to Samurai, Slammer, Colossus then Loggers before they get queues.Without a doubt, I will have a KFC and sit on the rocks next to those lovely Bose speakers blasting WWTP out next to Stealth (unless its closed, then I sit next to a power line speaker in Amity ).That it. I think.
  9. Which is why I said "IF". Part of a thrilling day out would also be to relax at some point in a nice area and do bugger all. I have heard from many people that thorpe needs an open space where you can just sit and do nothing after they are done with riding, instead of roaming about and getting bored. Its realistic.
  10. The small stuff:Make the entrance more nice. Colossus and Inferno could use a clean up. Remove the coins and crap from the volcano and remove green slime from buildings and themeing. Lost city walkways should be concrete. It looks cleaner and fresher.Covers in Stealth's queue from the sun.Rumba's queue roof needs stripping down and painting. It looks really bad.The music does need to be changed. Theme music for areas, normal songs relating to the theme for queues. Thorpe is more of an american style amusement park than a theme park. It would work better for the age range they are aiming at and improve atmosphere. Just think Blast all year around. Everybody was happy. Distinctly seperate themed zones if they want to be classed as a theme park. Big moves?:Loose X for an open garden/green space with brilliant landscaping. Somewhere to relax, when rides are buggered. We could have more themeing on Colossus to seperate the areas. And the area could mix with the kids area. Also to make the island feel bigger. Right now it feels over crowded.If I wanted a new area, I would put it on another island and would theme it to NYC. Think about it. Brooklin bridge from Stealth that leads into times square. Off one side have crystal beach with a woodie/mega lite? Also have the boat ride back between the new area and the main island. It would allow for far more shops/reastraunts for merlins sake!
  11. That alarm would be to warn workers (that may be around the track area) that a car is comming. The same happened on Stealth... If you watch TPR's Stealth construction tour video you will hear the same siren.
  12. The wheels may ether be wet or the squeaking is the up-stop wheels hitting the track on negative G moments.I must say, that does look impressive. It gets around those corners just as fast as Maverick. Should be good if thats the speed it will actually run at.
  13. The Micro-site is wrong. There were 4 planned for the run up to the name release and then my NL one. Thats it of that series I believe.
  14. I saw a picture of Samurai the other day. It was still blue and the pods were still red. No re-theming is happening.There are no more video's btw.
  15. I think it would be good to have the main Saw theme in all outside areas of the ride. But when you go into the inside of the building the experience starts really. I would love it if they used this ( http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Aw0gWQKxw ) theme for the inside queue with the bass really loud. The acctual copy of this music is far more bassy! I believe that track would create the right atmosphere for the inside corridors.Edit: Another track good to go with the saw theme on the outside queues would be this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AY-tdrV3WEA

    I dont know what that is in the picture, but to answer the hellgate question, hellgate isn't in the pyramid. Only the long corridors and the rides track are in there. There is a building out the back of X which houses the station platform and the old queue, which is where hellgate is.
  17. This is as close as I could zoom in onto the head chopper object....You can just see it through the trees.Closer onto Collys cog.Slapp's
  18. Looks rather like this at the moment.And I noticed the head chopper themeing was half up and lots of metalwork around the bottom of the lift hill was going up.
  19. Been stuck on:Stealth Transfers on front row. Stealth again. With a manual release from the off-load.Slammer in the air twice in the same day. Slammer with the restraints not releasing x3Inferno brakes - Puke.Others:Air every time. Top Thrill Dragster, the launch failed on the train infront. We reversed back into the back station. Re-set. We were on the second public run after its cable replacement (which was done over night, yes.. 1 night!). TTD again. 3rd row. Gold train. So 2/3 times I did it I got stuck on it!! Not to mention it was broken every 5 mins!! Fury. Well not really a brake down, just blocking with all the cars stacked. Got stuck on the brake before the helix. Really fun as we had a decent spin while sitting there!Think thats it.
  20. Stealth had problems with the accumulators last week. So it may be the same thing this week. They may be saving it for this weekend, like they did with Tidal wave a few weeks ago.
  21. ^ Thank you for you comment!! :PNow....Track packager needed.
