August 19, 200916 yr comment_66957 I agree!I also enjoy X:\ No Way Out. It is a very good ride but I don't think it is worth waiting over 30 minutes for in my opinion.I agree with that as well! It's a great time filler, but not something I would queue for, over other attractions if longer than 10/15 minutes.
September 12, 200915 yr comment_69959 I never ever saw them in use, so now my wondering as to why the heck they installed those, is now over!
September 12, 200915 yr comment_69966 Never seen before.However, I definately agree with you Ricky that they should return to X:\ No Way Out!
September 12, 200915 yr comment_69967 Oh my god , never ever had any clue that those effects were there, I wonder if there still installed, if so they should definitely be fixed! :PGreat find
September 12, 200915 yr comment_69981 that would make x no way out area look awesome if they had that and some red lights at frightnights!
September 12, 200915 yr comment_70000 Ive never seen that before!That would be great if they got them back!
September 13, 200915 yr comment_70031 I think I remember seeing them back in 2005 when they had that mist on ride.
September 13, 200915 yr comment_70040 I think I remember seeing them back in 2005 when they had that mist on ride.There used to be mist on the ride?
September 13, 200915 yr comment_70045 There used to be mist on the ride? Yep, when you stopped mist used to come down from above, next time you go on, when you stop look up, you may still be able to see the little pipes that sprayed it.
September 13, 200915 yr comment_70047 Yep, when you stopped mist used to come down from above, next time you go on, when you stop look up, you may still be able to see the little pipes that sprayed it.I remember getting the breeze by the fans above, but I don't even think you get that now.It is a shame that the mist for X is not in operation. (Same for the outside of the X building too).Just little things like that can improve the ride!!I think I vagely remember watching a video in X? :PThis was years ago though when I was younger.
September 13, 200915 yr comment_70049 I think I vagely remember watching a video in X? :PThis was years ago though when I was younger.Yeah that was there FN 2007 and FN 2005.
September 21, 200915 yr comment_70832 There was a new video there last year or the year before all year round.
March 8, 201015 yr comment_85105 I have a pretty strange story about X. Nearly four years ago I was at the park with a friend of mine and we were making our way over to X. She told me that she had been on X once or twice before but had never noticed that there was actually a ride inside the pyramid. Apparantly every time that she had lined up for X in the past she never found the roller coaster and never even knew it existed. She thought That No Way Out was just walking through a dark corridor. I thought this was pretty funny as it means she either turned back both times (I think she said she had been on it twice) or she went out a fire exit or something. She wouldn't even believe me when I told her that there was a ride in the pyramid at first lol.Anyway, I like the ride but It's nothing special. However, I really enjoy the experience of the que line and the post-ride corridor. I like the ride too but I much prefere the dream-like, surreal atmosphere that you experience whilst in the building. I try to get on X every time I visit.
March 9, 201015 yr comment_85408 As much as I love X, I can only imagine how much better it was in the past. These days your lucky just to have the lighting on the breaks work... Its such a shame as the ride could be so much more with fans and steam. I must admit I do love the ride though, I love how the train stops and then reverses a little on the break runs, its crazy... Which is the idea As Keith said up the page, just the little things could improve it.
March 27, 201015 yr comment_87824 It annoys me ride after ride how much X:/ is just being wasted run in it's current state. The concept is fantastic and different to anything else in the park, and with a great deal of work on theming the ride could be so much unbelievably better. Riding it at the moment just irritates me that the theming is pretty much non-existant. Such a waste.
March 27, 201015 yr comment_87827 But theres only so much you can do with a coaster thats meant to be in total darkness.
March 28, 201015 yr comment_87832 How is it wasted?The ride is awesome, regardless of wether it has no effects, no guest interaction; it's a pretty cool coaster. It's slightly forceful without a proper lapbar!
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87843 It is wasted because of all the potential atmospheric blah blah not being used! The idea of an abandoned warehouse where a supercomputer has gone mad would not only appeal to Thorpe Park's audience but be a good, immersive ride. But, no, all they thought of putting on those blocks were some 'effects' that don't work. What about lighting effects such as strobes and pulsing lights, music, better sound effects and some actual theming? Why not make the indoor queueline part of the ride as a dark, immersive walkthrough with all the sensory effects in there?A lot of potential - it is a huge building, too - but none is being used to satisfaction (especially for the general public).

At least this is what I was told by a friend who rode it a long time back. I do agree that the effects not working is a let down but it is still a fun roller coaster without them.
March 29, 201015 yr comment_87952 You are right, there was a longer queueline which was probably themed. It involved a revolving tunnel and a simulator lift, apparently. This section was not removed but re-routed so that it could be used for Freak Show 3D and then Hellgate.It could add a lot to the ride if they used it as part of the indoor walkthrough on X No Way Out. All that is left is that small bit with the robot figure behind glass and I think there are a few air blasters around that area, before it goes into a queueline...
April 4, 201015 yr comment_88504 Does anyone have a picture/drawing/description of the layout of this ride? I cant remember it exactly but I want to make a recreation
