September 16, 200816 yr comment_32952 We already have a Tidal Wave topic, please search before hand, like it says in the damn guidelines.I was tempted to say the same thing when a new member started a thread for rumba rapids.:Pbut who am I to complain at them, I'm not an admin.does anyone have a good guess then, of when the sponsor will end?
September 16, 200816 yr comment_32969 As far as I was aware, Original Source are a division of Imperial Leather, and all the Imperial Leather contracts are ending on the same date across all 3 parks?
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33008 Imperial Leather and Original Source are both made by PZ Cussons. There may be more that belong to Cussons, but I dunno.I'm like Original Source, I'm packed with natural stuff.
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33059 Does anyone remember when the oil tanker thing used to catch fire when the wave came?? Why doesn't that happen anymore? Also why does the wave NOT hit the SPLASHZONE??
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33067 I can answer part of that question. 2 reasons why wave may not make splash zone, weight of boat,(number of riders) and wind direction/strength.
September 16, 200816 yr comment_33077 ^^ I'm sure the gas pipe was removed when Stealth was put in. So no more fire.Anybody remember this lovely effect??When was the last time that sign lived?Is there a reason why its off?

So no more fire.Anybody remember this lovely effect??When was the last time that sign lived?Is there a reason why its off?Open day 2004. Hasn't been on since. I feel so sad, I miss the days when it was just a number LED board.oh dear
September 17, 200816 yr comment_33134 Okay I understand the Gas tank no longer working seeing as it has no pipes and gas prices are astronomical, but surely this not being on is just pure laziness. If the bulbs have blown, how bloody long does it take them to change a light bulb?!
September 20, 200816 yr comment_33328 Perhaps this is an issue for Guest Services! Let's inform them of this.Has the A in Wave never worked? Does anyone remember when the oil tanker thing used to catch fire when the wave came?? Why doesn't that happen anymore? Also why does the wave NOT hit the SPLASHZONE?? Whiteknuckle correctly answered you question, but also to add, the wave does hit the Splash Zone, I've seen it hit right on target. This is on a day with no wind.
September 20, 200816 yr comment_33335 I think the lights were flashing rather than solid on, so it must have just been flashed off when the photo was taken.
September 22, 200816 yr comment_33474 Ooft I like that! Would be cool to see it back. Thanks for clearing that up
September 28, 200816 yr comment_34040 I think the whole "amity" tidal wave theme is awsome - however ever since stealth has been there THORPE PARK have taken the effects out like the fire from the ball. They should put it back in to increase customer experience. tidal wave is awsome!
February 28, 200916 yr comment_46123 Rumours are floating about that the Original Source sponsorship will soon be removed from the ride. Does anyone know if this is definately happening?As for the shower gel, well Tidal Rave may have inspired me to buy it, but if the sponsorship does end, I'll still keep using it - it's good stuff!

Does anyone know if this is definately happening?As for the shower gel, well Tidal Rave may have inspired me to buy it, but if the sponsorship does end, I'll still keep using it - it's good stuff!To be honest, I never really liked the Original Souce sponsership. I thought the sponsership logos and objects added around the ride detracted from its original themeing, and made the ride and area seem less like a new england fishing village. I think the ride was far better when it didn't have any sponserships, and just the theming alone.
February 28, 200916 yr comment_46180 As for the shower gel, well Tidal Rave may have inspired me to buy it, but if the sponsorship does end, I'll still keep using it - it's good stuff!How much did they pay you to say that?
February 28, 200916 yr comment_46188 I never knew you could get so wet on a ride, of course untill I went on tidal wave!!!I adore the theming on this ride too very effective.
February 28, 200916 yr comment_46211 How much did they pay you to say that?Original Source is good stuff, I use it sometimes but not specifically because its from a ride :)And its not really a rumour that the sponsership will be removed... it was only for a few years anyway.
May 31, 200916 yr comment_57850 http://www.thorpeparkguide.com/parktour/am.../tidalwave2.jpgI love finding early photos like this, when the ride was so clean and sparkly - and the effects were working. Is that sky real? It looks awfully blue!
May 31, 200916 yr comment_57874 When I last went to Thorpe Park (May 10th) the section after the lift and the chute didn't have the water running which made it look really ugly.Does anyone know why?
