  1. Is it to stop riders who are squirted at, throwing objects at the squirters?
  2. Try Fright Nights or Thorpe Blast. :PThese poor technicians. As soon as they get back to HQ from fixing one ride, they must sit down for literally minutes, only to think they're about to enjoy that chocolate digestive, before being called to another ride to fix. I praise 'em.
  3. Well, legend had it that the pipes supplying the gas were dug up during Project Stealth. It was busted before then, the builders finished it off.This is a very old picture:Before I used to go to Thorpe I looked at pictures of it on the net, and thought "What IS that?!" - I also thought it was a buoy, you know, at sea. A big massive buoy. It's cold mist. The other day I jumped up and looked down inside, teeny weeny jets of water come out.
  4. No - that's why we're all trying to guess the answer.
  5. What we need to get hold of really is some official specs for both rides. Surely somewhere on the net must hold this info?
  6. Yeah, I know how to do that, isn't there a board setting I can change for this to happen automatically?
  7. Just a quick question - is it possible to "stack" quotes? By that I mean if someone posts and another quotes, can I then quote the 2 of them when I hit quote? Because it only seems to "pick" 1 if you hit quote of the person that's quoting the original post.
  8. If Imperial Leather got a pound for everytime that duck scared someone, they'd be mega rich by now!
  9. I like his laugh on the exterior music - it should be made more evil for Trans.
  10. I think the Skips logo is engraved in in this dragon too:
  11. An idea would be to paint the exit platform with "EXIT" on it, with an arrow, in bright colours. Exactly, how many people have I seen try to exit the loading side? Loads.
  12. Does anyone know the width of the saw track? Is it as wide as Oblivion's?Or is it just me?
  13. Why? You're as wet as can be on Tidal Wave, a little squirt of water isn't gonna bother me, or make much difference.
  14. Is it something to do with the lift hill motor?
  15. Hmm...Go Rumbas, go, Rumbas go, don't upset the river! None of us like H&S but unfortunately life sucks and these rules are put in place to make the world safer. Even with H&S about, people still manage to have accidents and violate H&S law, so imagine how this world would be without H&S at all. Merlin are trying to get ride of sponsorships, not introduce them.
  16. I have noticed it - you're drier. :PAlso, is it worth the lift hill chain stopping and starting? I know it has to stop to allow the car to move forward so the chain can lock onto it. The next time you watch a train go over the top, watch how quickly the cog at the top stops before the car goes down - it's literally a second, if that! Best viewed from the queueline.
  17. I thought that was near the case, seeing as it was near the bottom. What do they do, hit the E-stop button? Now you've said that, I'm confused, was it stuck or parked? Then again, Colossus has got reputation for getting stuck on the hill over the years.So if they were doing essential maintance where was the other train, actually in the station? And if so, was it needed there for the maintenance? And why does Colossus keep on cutting out? It's music was blasting out royally.Sorry to ask a lot of Q's, but I just wanna find out and understand.
  18. Since I last went on Saw, something has been adjusted in the inline twist and the body on the floor. The water doesn't seem to get you now, whereas it did in the past.
  19. OK, own up, who overfilled Rumba? Oh, they are, infact they're working overtime!
  20. I thought Tidal Wave was completely Original Source-free now? So why am I seeing the logo still when looking out of the bridge towards the drop?
  21. There is some bad flooding on the ground in that picture - was that taken recently?
  22. I never got it deleted, I just pointed out there was 2 topics.
  23. They are funny. What gets me is the station announcement which says "Exit to the left" - but what if you come in backwards and the exit platform's on your right? Lol.
  24. I tell ya the one thing that annoys me with Saw and that is the fact that people who have been on lots of other rollercoasters get to the top of Saw's tower and scream their head off before going down. OK, so it's more vertical and there are worser drops. Like Stealth perhaps?On my very first Saw ride I got to the top, glanced down, and thought "OK, whatever, bothered, that's nothing" and then went down the drop. It really didn't scare me. It really was nothing new for me even though Oblivion is the closest I've come to a drop that steep before now. It was as if I had ridden a drop like Saw's before my very first Saw ride.
  25. Hang on, are we saying that Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno are 2 different types of coaster? Because from what I can see, they're the same. OK, so the layout and inversions they have are different, that's easy to spot, and Nemesis at Alton Towers has 8 rows of seats compared to Inferno which only has 7. But other than that I can't tell. Merlin certainly are better. Not only is the Annual Pass the best one ever now, but Merlin also do a lot more advertising than Tussauds ever did, this year more on TV. Hard to believe it's just over 2 years since Merlin took over now, how time has flown by.
