Theme Park bloke Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 For those who don't realise it, the CCTV cameras in the X:\ queueline are fake. One big giveaway is they have a flashing red light on them. I found this out last year when a couple of idiots managed to open up one of the fire exits and sneak their way into the queue. After a few confrontations, security were called and they kicked them out.Also, you cannot fail to notice security gaurds constantly walking around the park. The guy who wears the turban is the best, not to mention a good laugh. Anyone know who I'm talking about? He's about 30. Well does robot mean battery?No - but the battery is nowhere to be seen lately in X:\.Do you need to be rude?Nope. I ain't being rude.

Fred Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 For those who don't realise it, the CCTV cameras in the X:\ queueline are fake.Its a deterrant obviously, but they do have a fair few working ones as well. You just dont notice them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonThorpe Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 X/:No Way Out is passed its sell by date, its quite good but really old. I hate it when you stop. Why do u even stop? It was good when it was first built but now its nothing compared to the other rides. P.S. The battery is near the exit of the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonThorpe Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Whats up with the CCTV cameras. Nobody really notices them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 The battery is near the exit of the ride We know where the battery should be, but it isn't there. It could be the battery has finally died.Maybe Thorpe should've used a Duracell battery - they last longer, much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you didn't stop, the ride would not be able to operate 4 or 5 trains, because you would be eliminating the block brakes.Whats up with the CCTV cameras. Nobody really notices themSo they can monitor whats going on? So they can call security if they see a fight in the queueline, so they can see if anything collapses, so they can see if they need to close it to clean up some puke, so they can check nobody is smoking. So they can check that nobody is attempting to stand up on one of the bloke brakes, so they can tell if the ride needs to be e-stopped, so they can monitor where each train is, so they can check nobody is being stupid, so they can monitor evacuations.We know where the battery should be, but it isn't there. It could be the battery has finally died.It was there, flashing and making sounds yesterday so the battery lives on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 wow, you really do stick up for x://in all, they should just burn it to the ground, or at least relocate it somewhere else; its taking up valuable space which thorpe park needs in order to develope.

barley142007 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I love X! I think they should change the track or make the acual pyramid more atmospheric! lighting ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think they should put the trains faceing fowards and stop it stopping evry 2 seconds and then it would be a good family coaster as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Without the stops it could probably only take about 300 riders an hour, if that! You stop because it adds to the ride experience. And if you didn't stop, the ride would not be able to operate 4 or 5 trains, because you would be eliminating the block brakes.=] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewie900 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 X is good for a laugh, and X tends to be the ride we go on after lunch, because everything else will make us throw up Having said that I went on Samurai after having a fully-loaded meal and I didn't puke, I did feel sick though :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its the dark and backwardness that makes people sick.YUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkaddict Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is this... (from the SAW topic, off topic...)the bag room in XNWO?As I lose all sense of which bit of the pyramid I'm in, where abouts is Hellgate in the pyramid? I know it's by Colossus, but when you're inside the pyramid, does anybody actually know whereabouts it is? Like, is it by that fire exit that appears to open into another dark room after the ramp bit just before you go round the corner and get to the *new and not improved* bag room?Also, I know sound proofing does wonders but someone told me that on XNWO on Fright Nights you can hear some noise from Hellgate (screams, mainly). Can you? I never have.Thank you cool theme park people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Kid Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I dont know what that is in the picture, but to answer the hellgate question, hellgate isn't in the pyramid. Only the long corridors and the rides track are in there. There is a building out the back of X which houses the station platform and the old queue, which is where hellgate is.

treeis Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 whats the deal with the red line running along side the x:/no way out track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 The red line I believe was for the onride speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Correct There used to be speakers on the trains back in the old days that played helicopter and sci-fi sound effects etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Correct There used to be speakers on the trains back in the old days that played helicopter and sci-fi sound effects etc.It would be good to see the park make the extra effort and one year to maybe restore little effects like this to all of the rides in the park.

Fred Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not really needed on X when the speakers on the block breaks do exactly the same function.. but actually work all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 x:/ is great as it is a bit more comfortable would be the best improvement but other than that it deserves to stay put not changed maybe a bit more themeing or somthing during the ride would be better.also I think they should put the camera back in I loved that :)bout it really, dont change a great ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I've looked everywhere on the Internet for floor plans of X:\ but it's like sky hooks - not available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
