Your Favourite Ride Sign
Could someone change the Tidal Wave sign to this updated one.. The blue isolators also now flicker and yes, I know about the lower 'E'..

This made me chuckle. The 'Danger Electrical Equipment Authorised Personnel Only' sign is on that door as that room has dangerous electrical equipment in it and only authorised personnel are allowed in.... Also it's my office where I service the moving head lights and LASERs. Thought you might find this interesting to. These drawings are some of my concepts for X:/NWO back in August '12 when I found out the trains would be going forward in 2013. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/qsbj4kw4x8u1ye3/AAC4nuF5UoK0eB3YBvIWQUs7a https://www.dropbox.com/sc/5n32c4mpghto09k/AAB-HUvkuHbPcH2cOnHpcyGDa https://www.dropbox.com/sc/tmfyxcyeyal6h46/AAC_yfKLy4efgYj1iseD87dWa https://www.dropbox.com/sc/e500z0prqpj2unu/AAAbEQaB8JYDsSwbjiryIhdga- X
Consistency was one of the things I aimed for in the update so . The sequence is now triggered by a train leaving the station. I'm really happy with the response the ride is getting, from on here and on park. Kids do really like it too. For many of them it would have been their 1st time on a rollercoaster. Some of the faces I've seen in the exit queue line have been priceless.- X

The operator has no control over ride time. The ride cycle either ends when it reaches 120 degrees or after a pre-set (by KMG) time. You either get a high/short cycle or a low/long cycle.- X

- Rumba Rapids
Water effects at Rumba are not on for a reason. None of them to do with maintenance.- Samurai
That's a winter strip by the looks of it.- Nemesis Inferno
Storm Surge water effects have been on and working for over two months now. Water cannons are off due to vandalism.- Closed Rides
My only guess is they have more engineers or they start at 4am...- Closed Rides
If two trains CAN be on the track at 9:30am then two trains WILL be on the track at 9:30am. Nothing to do with Thorpe's decission making skills.- Closed Rides
An empty train on a track is always a good sign as it means it is going through its test runs and is about to be put into service. Queue time is just about to be halved. A member of staff at the queue entrance will never know why a ride has closed/shutdown/not opened yet and will not know when the ride will re-open. Any answer they give could be longer or shorter than the actual time. They dont know because they are not the engineer dealing with the problem. The only time they might have an idea is when a ride is shutdown for cleaning due to someone being ill on the ride. 10-15 mins depending on the 'volume' of the illness...to put it nicely. One train opperation first thing in the morning? Well, two trains take twice as long to check as one in the morning... - X
