June 15, 200916 yr comment_60221 I can assure you that they have been working very well recently, they have obviously stopped now.Tippicult! I am visiting THORPE PARK on 23rd June and Nemesis Inferno's effects are broken again! Mini Rant.[/b]Can people actually write about the correct ride!Nemesis = Alton TowersNemesis Inferno = THORPE PARK
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60244 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. .)

June 15, 200916 yr comment_60260 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.

June 15, 200916 yr comment_60276 Yes, thank you "furiouspanda" thats what we have been discussing for almost 2 pages......So it is. I am very sorry. I'll go to bed now.
June 16, 200916 yr comment_60360 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.

June 16, 200916 yr comment_60395 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

June 16, 200916 yr comment_60415 why didnt you-it would have been cool to see what happensSam, think before you say .
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60484 Actually the Inferno water squirters under the loop seemed to be on yesterday!
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60485 why didnt you-it would have been cool to see what happensYeah, Tidal Wave blows up due to a faulty gas line Oh how fun that would have been...
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60505 Actually the Inferno water squirters under the loop seemed to be on yesterday! :(finally :(now its just the mist that needs to be sorted out
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60510 Actually the Inferno water squirters under the loop seemed to be on yesterday! Well if they were I didn't see 'em
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60540 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!
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60542 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
June 17, 200916 yr comment_60547 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
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60722 ^^I'd love to see that, plus its an effect they cannot break! (although they will probally find a way to )
June 18, 200916 yr comment_60739 How about the type water fountains that are on ripsaw and put them on rush?
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60828 How about the type water fountains that are on ripsaw and put them on rush? That would be funny but wouldn't work I think.
June 19, 200916 yr comment_60830 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.
