pognoi Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Colossus' crunches at it comes off the ARBS has to be one of the most iconic mechanical sounds I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Love it too Does anyone know why it's making that sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 ^ The anti-rollback system! If I'm not mistaken it's the little thing at the bottom of the car rolling over the teeth on the lift hill track (beside the chain)? I'm not a mechanic so I'm probably wrong...

pognoi Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Nope, I believe you're right! I tried to highlight that early making antiRollback system into ARBS, clearly not caught on, lol. But yeah I think it's when the train builds up a little speed going up the lift hill and the bouncer under the carriage that locks into the ARBS teeth speeds up it's ricochet, or it's the chain and the chain lock under the carriage being 'torn', if you will, from eachother..

Kerfuffle Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 For me, nothing beats the sound of SAW roaring into the loop! I'm also including THE SWARM's, if you're stood by Depth Charge or Flying Fish as it goes down the drop. Also, just stand near the far end of Stealth's launch section. You get a lovely "WHOOSH!" sound down there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Other sounds I like at Thorpe Stealth entering the bunny hop Swarm's roar Colossus roaring through the loop Detonator dropping Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
