Cal Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Was down Thorpe today and only got 4 rides fitted in, went on X 2 times, I loving the new tracklist this year, there was 90s rave music and a lot of Swedish house mafia and think I heard a Knife Party remix which made me happy, not a big fan of the new light design ruined the experience for me and was much better last year as it more harder to see the track. Also the music seemed to be quiet as at times you hardly couldn't hear it over the train moving Apart from that its good just turn the music up louder, I still cant get over the fact Sandstorm came on once I got off the ride! One of the first people I've heard to say you preferred the lighting last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mower Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 It just seemed a lil dull today, the only new part like is the lasers on the lift hill, also the 2nd time I went on it it was running a lot faster to the 1st time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 not a big fan of the new light design ruined the experience for me and was much better last year as it more harder to see the track. I can't tell what you are saying here? General consensus seems to be -it is better when it's a bit darker -it is a bit darker in there this year the Did you prefer it last year because you like it lighter, or did you find it darker last year? Just curious since, as has been said, I've only heard good things about the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Mower Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just liked how the light were set up in the middle as it made it more lighter and felt more like a rave, this year they put the light everywhere it don't give the same effect in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ah, you prefer it lighter then. The new set up certainly does make it darker, I think that's a good thing though! OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I do love X this year but I think they need to keep rotating the music being played last years and this years so it doesn't get repetitive so much improvements have happened love the tunnel of light.

Ben Mower Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I love the light tunnel, I like it lighter as it kinda blinds ya so you cant see the track that well. You can see the track more this year which kind of ruined it also my mum first time on it and she was disappointed with it. I'm loving the new music but think they could also play last years too, also turn it up louder for when your actually on the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I was watching a video of an indoor spinning rollercoaster called hollenblitz and I thought about how crazy it would be if X span on its way round. I'm not saying it should I just think it would be a cool idea as the rollercoaster itself is relatively boring. Hollenblitz has a mini light show as well as water and fire effects despite being a travelling rollercoaster. The light show on it is no where near as good as X but the ride itself does look pretty cool and got me thinking what X would be like if it was an indoor spinner! Sorry for my crazy idea... I know it's never going to happen I just thought it was a cool idea . c1hrisin, OldFarmerDean and Ben Mower 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 When I went to Thorpe on Saturday, The music was almost unbearably loud in the queueline, so me and my friends had trouble communicating. But on the ride it was the quietest I have ever heard it so for the first time could actually hear what the train sounded like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Can't seem to find it on here there was a video of hardwell song playing on x could someone link it if they have the link for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Though in all favour I prefer X:\No Way Out, X today is more of a "larf-in-the-dark" sort of ride, meaning although for a ride experience it IS enjoyable, it's still pretty timid (making this a good move for Thorpe if they want to attract younger family members!)

pluk Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Do they update the selection of music throughout the season with new current tracks, or has it remained the same? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 It's been updated several times I believe! I think its been every month or so! pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olistjj Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 X - Theme Music | Thorpe Park | 2014 Soundtrack 2 X - Theme Music | Thorpe Park | 2014 Soundtrack 1 This guy... I don't know how he got them but he's got the X songs! He's uploaded 2 so far and promised in a comment on the Soundtrack 1 video that he's going to be uploading more soon! Finally! And they're good quality! Personally I prefer Soundtrack 2 as 1 is so repetitive -.- TPJames and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Err because no.1 is blades dance club music that you can literally buy on ITunes and no.2 is eppeti's This Love which is on SoundCloud and can be downloaded from a link in there...

Coaster Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 They are fairly easy to find but at least they are easier for people to find now who are searching for the X sountracks, rather than having to trawl the internet to find them.

paige Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nothing's worse than thinking you've found it, to be greeted by a hollow, echoey version of the actual soundtrack, rather than the playlist. The playlist has been rather repetitive and same-y to me recently though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I've heard some awful ones myself! So have I, but they are genuine copies of the music rather than just recording them next to a speaker in the queue paige 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 I thought X plays actual artists like Swedish House Mafia now? Or is this the old music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
