Posted June 12, 200817 yr comment_28451 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
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28454 Stealth brakes slowing downRush in general noises. Chainlift soundsThe sound of coasters creaking along tracksDetonator release and fallTidal wave hitting the water
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28460 Slammer sounds like your pc !Very good comparison there, and whenever I close down any applications it sounds like Slammer being e-stopped.
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28462 Stealth's launch brakes going down,Inferno as it enter/exits the station while clicking the contacts. Rush's airtanks!Colossus coming off the lift.
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28463 Stealth in general. Nemmie inferno on the lift hill. The sound of me walking out the exit gate.
June 12, 200817 yr Author comment_28468 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.
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28473 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.
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28475 Vampire brakes releasing in the station (dispatching ).. omfgoes makes me want to scream with pleasure...
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28476 Inferno Station stuff mentioned beforeRush's swingsSlammer's motorsColossus lift hillColossus on the track (boomboomboomboom)Stealth brake finsTidal Wave's lift chain
June 12, 200817 yr comment_28477 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.
June 13, 200817 yr comment_28485 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.
June 13, 200817 yr comment_28489 Stealth breaks, Colossus, tidal wave coming down the drop and detenator rising and dropping.
June 13, 200817 yr comment_28493 Ahh yes the tidal wave rumble. In the arcade theres a certain jingle that always reminds me of thorpe too.
June 13, 200817 yr comment_28497 that little detonator hiss, seconds before it hurtles you to your peril:);) Clickaroonie Listen carefully. hsss..BANG
June 16, 200817 yr comment_28628 Floor lowering on nemmie infernoThe loud "clicking" (bit of a bad choice of words) that follows stealth after its launched
June 17, 200817 yr comment_28697 my favourite sound is Colossus coming off the lift - my dad heard it and said 'NOPE!' straight away
July 18, 200817 yr comment_29793 definately stealth brakes... ahhhColossus anti-rollback {I think its called - correct me if I'm wrong}rush - just rush
July 19, 200817 yr comment_29814 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.
July 21, 200817 yr comment_29896 Stealth's brakes lowering, launch whizz.Rush air containersNemesis Track SwitchNemesis water jets under loopRumba boat stopper (bottom of lift)Samurai Slowing downDetontor cable motorTidal Wave chainThe Fish clipping the platform lol
