Phyciodes Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Ahh ahh you forget Depth Charge^I won't be suprised if we see them on the other two water rides shortly! Quote
Stokesyboy Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I got absolutly drenched yesterday :L My jeans were soo tight after this it was soo much fun though Quote
themeparkmad Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Ahh ahh you forget Depth Charge^I won't be suprised if we see them on the other two water rides shortly!Depth Charge! - You could run and get them! I don't approve of them on Loggers Leap or Tidal Wave as it ruins the ride to some extent.The only ride actually I would not mind water squirter thingys is Rumba Rapids as it already has water effects (at least when I went on it last it did. I know it has had some modifications! anyway...)You are moving fast and the odd bit of water aswell as effects and waves coming into the boat on Rumba Rapids might actually be good.But definately not on any other of the water rides. Especially Tidal Wave as the boat is moving slowly after already becoming drenched. So why pay money getting someone wet when they are already 'soaked to the bone'! Quote
rossafc Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I think the best ride for the squity things would be rumba rapids as you pass near pizza hut. I dont agree with them being on tidal wave Quote

rossafc Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I do not see the point neither. The riders are already drenched anyway! yeah, where as on rumba most of the time you only have a few splashes on you Quote
TraX Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Well, I think it's a nice idea, remember on Loggers, guests are wet already too, okay not as wet, but I think it's a great interactive thing anyway. As far as the cost, if you don't want to pay, don't! People will pay and be up for a laugh, although I must say, I think it's rather sad the one ride that REALLY needs them on the bridge is Rumba. Hopefully we'll get some soon. A total, expensive re-theme of that is seriously needed, but hey, in the right topic! Quote

Wouldn't you just end up blocking the entrance causing guests to moan saying they can't get through?By Pizza Hut is a good idea though.Personally, as we are on Tidal Wave topic!, Any water ride at THORPE PARK should not need water squrters to improve a guests day out!I agree it is the individuals choice to pay £1 for a bit of water!

Theme Park bloke Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Frankly spraying a slow moving baot with water when said boat already has 20 drenched riders would frankly piss me off immensely.Why? You're as wet as can be on Tidal Wave, a little squirt of water isn't gonna bother me, or make much difference. Quote
Mark9 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Why? You're as wet as can be on Tidal Wave, a little squirt of water isn't gonna bother me, or make much difference.I don't need to be wetter then.. I just don't like the idea of it on Tidal Wave. Quote
Stokesyboy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 I think that the water gun things would be a bit annoying because if you go on tidal wave on a cold day and you get soaked you dont really want to get cold water fired at you when you are soaked already and it would mean drying off would take just a bit longer Quote
StevenVig Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 They have added these huge plastic panels to the area where the guns are. It's destroyed the look of that general area. I'm quite enraged about this......... Quote

Daniel Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Here is a picture I took on Sunday:Look at the reflection of Rush on the plastic. I wish it was that tall. Quote
themeparkmad Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Here is a picture I took on Sunday:Look at the reflection of Rush on the plastic. I wish it was that tall. Ok, To be honest. It does not look very nice from the photo.Oh well, will have to see then on next visit! Quote
Korikon Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Those pannels look ridiculous :/ bad move. Quote
Paul Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 They look ridiculous. I guess I am thinking the same as everyone else when I say what is the point? Quote
Theme Park bloke Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Is it to stop riders who are squirted at, throwing objects at the squirters? Quote
rossafc Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 I wouldnt of thought so as you cant take loose items on the ride. Quote
TimR Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 I wouldnt of thought so as you cant take loose items on the ride.Yes, but think about how many times that rule is disobeyed. Quote
rossafc Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Yes, but think about how many times that rule is disobeyed.very true Quote
stealthtastic Posted June 16, 2009 Report Posted June 16, 2009 Yes, but think about how many times that rule is disobeyed.actually its not disobeyed that much as I'm the person on offlaod who takes them lol so its nothing that they actually take on the ride but yh its there to protect people still Quote
