James Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 How can you ask what the story is like and then say no spoilers?Its an animated 8 minute long film with a robot who basically takes you on a tour round some place that I take it is abandoned or something and you get the usual bug attack things and the usual stuff.It really isn't anything special.Half of the film you cant focus properly to make it 3D, stuff seemed a bit fuzzy and the sound quality of the talking was crap, and you couldn't even follow what they were saying from lips cos its a robot thing.

Mr_Rabbit Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 The water from above effect (a.k.a. Pigeon poo effect from pirates) will work soon and will activate during the waterfall scene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkaddict Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 "Interestingyness"Looks like Pirates 4D went across the pond, state-side. I don't know how I came across it, but I pasted it below. for source-ness, I found it here. clicky.(it's 11 paragraphs up from the bottom of the page)SeaWorld San Diego Located on Mission Bay, this 150-acre park features five major shows and dozens of exhibits containing marine life from around the globe, including Wild Arctic, Penguin Encounter, Shark Encounter, and Manatee Rescue. SeaWorld San Diego’s newest attraction, ‘‘Pirates 4-D,’’ is a humorous tale of a hapless crew and its wacky captain; the film stars actors Leslie Nielsen and Eric Idle. More than a movie, ‘‘Pirates 4-D’’ introduces a fourth dimension to the traditional cinematic experience, using special effects to produce sprays of water, blasts of air and other wild surprises.SeaWorld San Diego’s newest show, Cirque de la Mer opens in May. Cirque de la Mer takes guests on a journey....I didn't know they had anything going in America, other than the billions of Madame Tussauds' going up everywhere. Why would they sell it to America? I thought it was gonna end up at Alton, or do a swap with Gardaland. Am I being stupid?Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I hear that Pirates 4D was being re-located to Alton, so that it could be used in their new sector, Mutiny Bay. Along with Battle Galleons and other such piratey stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Now that I think about it I can't really remember where , its just something that stuck in the back of my mind ever since Pirates 4D moved, as I preffered it to Time Voyagers.

Lewis. Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I never go on/in this anymore. Mainly because I always forget about it but also last time I wen't in the water got me right in that place and I had to walk around looking like I'd wet myself for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBdaWonderLlama Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 ^ Lol, fail.I've never been in Time Voyagers. I didn't even know it was still at Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've never been in Time Voyagers. I didn't even know it was still at Thorpe.Yeah my friend didn't either.It put her off 3d movies 'for life' apparently Even thought I told her this is 4d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I still find it strange that the themeing inside is based on a castle and barrels when the ride is about a space shuttle!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th13teen Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Time voyagers will probably last another 2 years at tops before thorpe get rid of it all together because it only really appeals to the younger audience I feel plus much like honey I shrunk the audience you can tell the technology is very dated and there is great potential for something new in there. also why dont they use that courtyard out side the building to hold guests e.g a queue?

eee Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 There's nothing like this at Alton Towers and me and my partner found this a great place for tired feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'm quite surprised they didn't put a show like this in Mutiny Bay and show Pirates 4D at Alton Towers, like you say a great place for tired feet.I think it is nice to have an attraction like this at Thorpe Park and although not great the general public seem to like it. I took a friend into it last week, it was 3/4 full and most people actually clapped when it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little ken Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I think they should make a queue for Time Voyagers in that little courtyard bit. It's irritating when you're trying to get from Tidal Wave to Stealth and have to push past everybody in the queue. It was even worse during Fright Nights, the queue went all the way into the Stealth plaza for SAW - MOVIE BITES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Totally agree, it is very annoying, the courtyard area seems very wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 As far as I am aware, the courtyard was originally intended as a batching area for Pirates 4D, but yes, why it is not in use now is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtjammy16 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 It seems to me like they have changed the amount of effects?Because the last time I went in it, it vibrated, splashed and blew at us alot more times then usual, including right when the movie starts.

JoshC. Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I agree it's a terrible film, but it still draws people in and gives people a break. I think it's pretty pointless personally, but in every other aspect, it's just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I recently took a trip to Madame Tussauds, and the new Marvel 4D Superheroes Film is absolutely incredible.If something like this was installed where Time Voyagers is now, you would have an awesome attraction. Obviously the planetarium dome cant go there, but most certainly the new style seats can. ;)Thorpe should take a leaf out of Tussauds book.

Jord Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Gardaland had Time Voyagers but they've now replaced it with a new Spongebob 4D Experience... Thorpe do what your sister park has done please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
