furiouspanda Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Are there still some flamethrowers on the roof of the entrance to the park? (Over the turnstiles). I know they had them on for fright night - albeit for a very short time. I remember walking out to go home () and there being a big burst of orange light. There were indeed flames coming off the roof every five minutes or so.I think it would make the entrance that bit more spectacular. Annoyingly it's probably only a late opening thing. It would add to thorpe blast though.Also, they could really do with tarting up the entrance bridge. Some fountains wouldn't go amiss, to replace the single hosepipe. It looks a bit feeble .(On second thoughts, they probably wouldn't be able to do that because of people using the lake. .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furiouspanda Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Something else, the Inferno volcano vent was ACTUALLY WORKING the other day. You know, that thing that's used as a litter bin at the top of the queue line steps. It may have been cold mist and not warm smoke as one would expect from a volcano, but nevertheless, it was working.I assume it's broken now.

Theme Park bloke Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I would personally like to see the Gas Tank on Tidal Wave releasing burts of flames, main reason being Ive never seen it for real. I never visited during those years. I would also like to see the Water Tower on Tidal Wave working again. When I was a young-en I remember seeing tidal wave and thinking how ridiculously tall it was, and the occasional burst of flames making me jump. Sadly neither the gas or water effects will return for a reason which I think has been posted about a million times.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.Something else, the Inferno volcano vent was ACTUALLY WORKING the other day. You know, that thing that's used as a litter bin at the top of the queue line steps. It may have been cold mist and not warm smoke as one would expect from a volcano, but nevertheless, it was working.I assume it's broken now.It's cold mist. The other day I jumped up and looked down inside, teeny weeny jets of water come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 It says on the top that we can give suggestions for new effects. I would like to see added on Rumba Rapids fountains that go over your head. (e.g. Like on the Fountain Finale on Bubbleworks at Chessington).However, If was on Rumba Rapids, I would not have it as long. Maybe a short 5 second thing as you come out the tunnel?Just an idea!

rossafc Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 There is water falling from the roof of the tunnel as you enter it already.. kind of the same thing :PEDIT: actually it is not the same thing, I missread the postyeah that would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Just thought of another one! :(I only go on Depth Charge once a year usually. But...You could put closed sections (tunnels) on Depth Charge to make the ride feel more "scary".That way, going from light to dark constantly can give the effect of you going more faster!

A tunnel would be good at the airtime sections it would give a head chopper effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 ^^I'd love to see that, plus its an effect they cannot break! (although they will probally find a way to ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 How about the type water fountains that are on ripsaw and put them on rush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Boy Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I don't know of this is even possible: On SAW they have "blood" squirt up from the dead body on the floor right. Well, what if they were able to spray water on the blades so that it sprays on you as you take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
