JoshC. Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Great to see! There were some clear work on it at the beginning of last season, so this had obviously been in the works for a while; maybe they needed to wait for something before they could operate it again? Does anyone remember how often it used to drop water back in the day? Every 15 minutes? Every 30 minutes? Hopefully that's the time they've set for this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's great to see. Would be a real positive step if Merlin would set some budget and realise that these details in a theme park are really important. Hopefully this is that first step.

Matt 236 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Appears to be the best state the ride has been in for a long time. At least since 2008 time anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan.B Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I noticed that the yellow boat stopped at the same place (top of the lift) four times on Thursday, and had to be evacuated 3 times! (I'm unsure whether it happened a fourth time). was very unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm unsure whether it happened a fourth time). was very unusual. I don't actually know the problem but I thought they'd fixed that over closed season. Happened quite a bit during my late season visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 There are so many different reasons for boats stopping there high or low water levels in the splash pool, a boat has missed a sensor so like a coaster it thinks the next block is occupied. Whilst it could be the same issue its possible that its a differerent problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Tidal Wave's splash seemed alot smaller. Stood on Pier 13 for 3 boats yesterday, came off bone dry. Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 ^ Depends on boat weight and water level. If the water level is too low or not enough weight the splash size is pitiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 150 minute queue earlier on today, guessing it's running 2 boats as I haven't seen the third (green) boat all season. Anyone know what happened to it (if it's still not there)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt10 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 If I'm right in thinking, it is the green boat which is missing, which disappeared fairly early on into last summer, and hasn't been on the track since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 It's running 3 boats today. Mattgwise and Coaster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkLover Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've only ever seen tidal wave run on 3 boats in July and August. Normally the green boat is by the station, looks like it doesn't get a lot of use before schools are out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yep was 3 boats on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
