d.m.k Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm not talking about any of the soundtracks here. I mean the noises which the rides and coasters actually make.I have noticed as I walk round the park, that the attractions make some great noises which really do remind me of the park, and I have so many times refered to Thorpe Park's rides outside the park. For Example, the other day I was in a mates car and his brakes were making a noise just the same as Samurai powering up and down in the ride cycle and I loved it so much Some of my personal favourites are:- Nemesis Inferno pulling out of the station and that clonking noise which I "think" is made by each of the set wheels passing onto another section of the track.- Samurai when slowing down and powering up. - and Colossus leaving the top of the lift hill.What are your favourite noises from the park?Thank Youd.m.k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickD Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Slammer sounds like your pc !Very good comparison there, and whenever I close down any applications it sounds like Slammer being e-stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d.m.k Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Does anyone know why Inferno makes that noise as it leaves the station??Its a great noise but I cant remember hearing it on other B&M Inverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think it is just the floor lowering mechanism kicking in. Air at Alton Towers makes the same sound and it basically sounds as if the moveable floor is a hollow block that makes an echoed bang when it is jolted by the mechanism below. Clicky So it isn't Air's best dispatch run but it got there in the end. I also like the floor lowering noise and the sounds of Samurai when it powers up or brakes.

Cringle Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Theres this like compressed air noise which often sounds gives a small bang noise which are used some some breaks on coasters which I love. The 'WOOOOOO' of the stealth breaks'. General chain lift noises. The alarm from samurai - one of bournemouth high streets traffic lights has that same alarm.

Whiteknuckle Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Stealth launch and brake. Colossus cobra roll, the noisest bit of the ride. Rush, Inferno in general, (B&M's always sound good) and Tidal Wave coming down the drop, I love that rumble and then nothing but the sound of water then screams.

Sidders Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 my favourite sound is Colossus coming off the lift - my dad heard it and said 'NOPE!' straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 definately stealth brakes... ahhhColossus anti-rollback {I think its called - correct me if I'm wrong}rush - just rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Here are my favourites: Colossus' anti-rollback as it comes off the lift hill Slammer's motors working away when it's spinning Inferno's lift hil - just listen to the noise it makes the next time you are on it, going up the lift hill Stealth hitting the magnetic brakes Stealth's winch house noises in generally, and the "whizzing" noise you can hear when a train launches. You have to be right up close to the winch house to hear these. Vortex's "humming" noise when swinging. It can be heard clearly during test-runs without the music.
