    If Tidal Wave destroyed Storm Surge's supports, the ride would fall down.
    Actually, I like that idea.

    You're right Ricky, SS dripping on people is nothing compared to the way it is dull as hell because the spinners don't work, the boats fill with water and soak your shoes, the reliability is shocking for such a simple ride, most of the water effects are off, it looks god awful from every angle and the loading and lift hill are painfully slow. It still shouldn't leak so much though, wasting what must be litres of water a day.
    It really has no redeeming features in my eyes, it simply shouldn't exist at Thorpe.

    No one described it as such, but that's their (and my own) opinion...
     
    Gonna have to deal with it, like we have to deal with Storm Surge's poorly thought out and cheap existance...

    Marhelorpe reacted to JoshC. in Slammer   
    So was looking around old planning applications (I do have a life, promise...), and found this little thing in Slammer's original application...
     

     
    So one of the old MTDPs proposed that an existing water ride could be moved to what is now Slammer's site (as, bare in mind, that MTDP would've been written in the early 2000s).  Given the water-based rides at the park during that time, the only feasible option would've been Depth Charge.  Unfortunately, the original MTDP plans aren't available (there seems to be a nice habit of removing them off the council's site after a couple of years!), so who knows.  But yeah, slightly interesting maybe.
     
     
    Also, near the end of the application, there's a report written by someone from Thorpe about the Sky Swat prototype built in Utah:

     
    How true it was that the world became familiar with the Sky Swat, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons!

    I do prefer the original piece but it's still really good, it's good that they actually did that, so it's still in time. Can't believe it now takes a minute for it to get to the top now through! Still a great ride though

    Since Slammer has opened this season, I've noticed that the ride's theme has been extended by another 1 and a half minutes, as this is probably because the ride takes a little longer to raise and lower than it originally used to years ago.
     
    After I edited the original soundtrack and added the new segments in-between certain parts of the track, here is the result:
     
    Slammer - Extended.
     
    The added segments Slammer now plays are between 0:27 -> 0:56 and 2:29 -> the end of the track. Apart from that, the rest sounds exactly the same.
     
    Hasn't been posted yet, so thought I'd share the ride's new one!

    Marhelorpe got a reaction from Cal in Vortex   
    Agree with others about Vortex's current state. On Saturday, Vortex was taking a while to start swinging and when it did, it only just reached the 90 degrees point. The judder was still there too when it started to swing.
    Something still doesn't add up though. Why is it that Vortex was swinging very low and had the judder at the very beginning of this season on Annual Pass day, then from late March to early May (roughly) it was performing perfectly with full beyond-90 degree swings with no judder present at all? It might be an age problem, but I know Vortex is currently capable of performing better than this.

    Didn't get the chance to meet up properly with everyone today, (wish I could but my family were with me all day) as I kept on bumping into everyone a few times, but still had a great time meeting you all during the event!
