  • For anyone interested, I'm sure you all will be, this evening the original entrance soundtrack was blaring! You will be hearing it from now!

  • If we're doing requests, I'd like the Inferno dispatch bass to be loud enough for me to be able to hear it at home in Essex.

  • Oh dear, that was awful. Whoever thought that might have even possibly been a good idea / replacement for the end of the day music needs their head(s) checked.

Most ride announcements will have their own separate panel, which is controlled manually. For Example, the announcement you hear when Vortex Starts. The operator will have to press two buttons at the same time, one for the announcement, one to start the rides sequence.Area Music is controlled by a central computer and is rooted out to different areas of the park. The computer is programmed to know what files to play where, and at what time. So things such as WWTP Radio, Lost City Music etc, is all controlled automatically by one central hub. This is commonly known as Project Link. This kind of music is out of the operators control, however, they do have the power to make an area wide announcement through the queue line and surrounding areas.

Oh god, the fun I had with that PA :("Vortex is an intense ride. Vortex is an intense ride. Vortex is an inside ride. Vortex is an intense ride!"Then "Hold on tight. Hold on tight. Hold on tight. Hold on tight."I is easily amused :POccassionally the ride wouldn't start, so the floor lower music would start but the floor wouldn't move, and it was really confusing the first time it happened to me! :P

Haha, I knew you would have to say something about that Michaela, that was the only real example I had since I have seen you do it, haha. :P

Vortex has audio issues, it might be the one James was talking about when it cuts out.Very funny yesterday at Colossus, we were just about to leave then some pre-set voice on the speakers kept saying "welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome welcome" for about 2 minutes then it says "Colossus is about to restart so hold on tight" Restart? I didnt know it had stopped? :(
