I know why the Wicked Witches Haunt was destroyed, some idiot was smoking on the Tropical Travels ride and it eventually passed through the undergrowth and caused it to catch fire. Thats what destroyed the be-loved rides of Wicked Witches Haunt and Mr. Rabbits Tropical Travels rides.

Really? Ive been waiting 9 years to find that out

Mines not great but I have part of Ewan's hat so I win

How about the type water fountains that are on ripsaw and put them on rush?

Tbh I dont really care what the ride is themed to, as long as its good fun

Holy cow! That was awesome

Actually the Inferno water squirters under the loop seemed to be on yesterday!

Well if they were I didn't see 'em

hey todge if you were there this morning I was most propbaly the person that turned you away as I was on the front telling people that it was unavailable lol what a shame I love this ride

nah I didnt go to the entrance, I just had a peek over the fence

None of the effects were working today

Yea I'm interested as well and plus I'm not too keen on Harry Potter and the thing is idk why there gonna re-theme it to Harry Potter because not everyone in the whole world likes Harry Potter

Not everyone in the world likes the saw films but they still made a coaster themed around it

I had a look at the tidal wave console today and I saw a panel and it said "water tower effects" and there was a green and red button, Oh how I wanted to push that green button

Rumba's water was on full flow this morning but the when I looked later it had all been drained

Good day today, although we went home at 2 cause my mate was feeling very ill after vortex :PWe got inferno, Colossus, stealth and saw all done by 11:30. Got absolutely burntClosures/BreakdownsRumba - closed all dayStealth - broke down once, not sure whySAW - Car stuck at top of lift hill, end of the queue evacuatedSamurai - Usual problemsQuantum - didn't open till around 1Ride countStealth - 2 (1 front)SAW - 1Rush - 1Vortex - 1Tidal wave - 1Loggers - 1Nemesis - 1Colossus - 1

Your prayers have been answered its now open!

Good News.Why would it fail to launch anyway, is it just the launch cable dosent quite latch onto the car?

I wonder what is wrong with it?Surely there's not much that can go wrong with Rumba....

Could be the lift hill, turntable. The wave machine thingymabob

My mate just rang me saying we should go TP tommorow, and I'm hoping he can get his first ride on saw. Should be fun... O_O

They have added these huge plastic panels to the area where the guns are. It's destroyed the look of that general area. I'm quite enraged about this.........

Pictures would be nice

When I first went on this ride, I was really nervous... But by the end of it I wanted to go on it again and again...The inside of the queue line is really cool and adds to the atmosphere...The even have a guy stuck in barbed wire just like in the first film...One tip for anyone who hasn't been on this ride yet, the ride loads two cars at a time from what I remember. Try to get into the 2nd car because when you are set off, you are held in the dark with the puppet explaining the story and saying the whole "Lets play a game" phrase whilst the first car is sent off the get to the lift hill as quick as possible. WB

you cant really try and get into the second car, it's just luck.

If Rumba Rapids do get sponcered by Imperial Leather, then you might as well just get rid of Rumba Rapids really as it will ruin the ride experience for quite a lot of people.Who wants to go on a "intense" rapid ride with ducks quacking everywhere?!

*Raises hand slowly*

If imperial leather did ever sponsor rumba, my idea would be to have shampoo come out of this pipe sort of thing shown here

Does that lizard on top of the entrance still squirt water or is that broken too?

That advert is mostly why I was scared of alton towers as a kid.

We have water guns on Tidal Wave?

Someone said there were at the end of the drop.

Bit Random, but has anyone ever seen the water from the Drop being turned off at the end of the day? I saw it on Sunday and thought it looked quite cool, you could see the water slowly making its way down revealing the wood underneath.

nope, but I have seen it when its dry.By the way, does anyone have a picture of those new water guns?

She??! LOL!

People normally call boats a 'she'. So might be the same sort of thing
