Sheepie Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The retheme has actually made it one of the most enjoyable rides on park for me.I always seem to just crack up and laugh all the way round.'Tis funs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 yeah I agree, X is one of my favorites, I think they should bring back the spinning moonflower lights that were used during fright night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I thought the X station was really good during Fright Nights, and the music for FN is still 'ok', but the laughing clown isn't =(. But yeah, X is really cool. And very addictive I might add. Kinda like Inferno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 7 times in a row during Blast COME ON!I hope they keep the moving head that was in the pyramid for this year, looked pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blipblipblur Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Does anyone happen to know where I can find the old X:\ advert that was on TV several years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCharlie Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Have you tried YouTube? Thats worth a try, although I haven't seen it floating around the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blipblipblur Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Have you tried YouTube? Thats worth a try, although I haven't seen it floating around the net.Yes, it always the first place to look. If I remember rightly it had something to do with two guys breaking in and landing on the ride cart from their ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I remember seeing it a while ago.. some sort of missions with helicopter. No idea where it was from though, that was before the days of youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I agree with Dann, just make it a f**king rave and be done with it. GLOW STICKS AND FLASHING LIGHTS PLEASE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny07 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Alas http://www.reride.net/parks/thorpepark/scroll down the the bottom, and its on the rightyou have to save it I think, well at least I didand the quality isn't all that great.. but hey, thats it.I love the way they call it "great thorpe park" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blipblipblur Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 thanks of the link jonny.I went to Thorpe park a couple of weeks ago and there was hardly any qs for the rides in Thorpe.x:\ was empty, u could run to the station and be right on. one ride was just me and my two mates.has any one else questioned that 8 sided room that u go Through to get too the station. cos theres 2 of them and I think the doors used to shut on them at one point. I reckon people get into them and when the other side opens the trains already there so u don't know what way it came it and it looks like your gunna go around the corner that your facing.the whole places needs some more decoration done to it, I feel for the poor guy that has to sit in the cloak room, that place is worn out.and the idea of fog inside the ride sounded like a good one especially with all the new lighting. and bring back the steaming pillars.soz for all the moaning but looking around inside they really didn't do all that much theming in the first place. the black hole on A.T got better station theming with all its star roofs and porthole windows and stuff. I think if x:\ got the feel of the ride right then people would enjoy it better. I know I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Your right about the hexagonal type rooms - they where originally used as pretend lifts, where 8 of you would enter the room, and it would jog you about a bit, as if you where going up inside the lifts to the station - when in reality all it did was jog you about, and then a ride attendant would open the doors and welcome you into the station, where you would be batched. I agree about all the old effects and the long tunnel - but in the past 6-7 years they where cut off, and this is now where Hellgate Maze at Fright Nights is located; maybe in the not so distant future they will move Hellgate to another place around park, and the old queueline opened up again, with a redo of the effects - however parts of the theming where removed this year to be used on the ride itself; on animation three you can see the two mannequins, I believe these used to be in the wall in the old queueline, and they where cut out to be used on the ride.Hope this helps - and welcome to the forum!

blipblipblur Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 the times ive been there I still ain't even had a glimpse at this hellgate thing, did it take up much of the x:\?if there was an ideas box out side x:\ asking about what people think the q line theme should look like what you put. lets hear ur most wackiest and crazy ideas.

Dan9 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 But most of the things put on there would involve changing the music to Chav music most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blipblipblur Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I dont think chav music would fit the theme verry well, techno sorta music suits its. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 The music it has at the moment is fab! Think it's from Terminator, that's what me friend says anyway.Noticed yesterday the dummies didn't light up, maybe it was just our ride or something.

James Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 XNWO theme isn't from Terminator, its a royalty free track from a website.Dummies havent been lighting up at all this year as far as I can tell =[Lift hill lights still work!

blipblipblur Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 the only thing I know from the safety brake things is that yer the dummies ain't lit up no more and theres this sound thing saying "car controls lost" "car control achieved" "car control lost" its funny cos the car jolts back and forth when it dose that, kinda adds to the theme witch is great. the dummies were a bit rubbish any way.

Chris Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Went on X:\ No Way Out twice today :DI hadn't been on it in a while though,I'm sure it used to take your picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 It last took your picture in 2005!And regards to the queue, its never going to come back, in all honesty I doubt X has an awful long time left in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Same as marc really. I think X is coming up to its sell by date and I think it would clear enough space for another large ride such as a catapult ride, don't know what its called and I havn't got the time to look it up bu its got 3 arms and each has cables atatching to a gondola holding 6 - 8 passengers. it then releases the gondola likea sling shot. anyone know what I mean? It's on sky one's thrill rides shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
