Cal Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Detonator: Bombs away. I think the whole area looks great from pictures, but the sign on this looks awful in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Is that them leaving the old branding (and indeed the photo unit) still in situ? Tbf I don't think signage is their strong point in this area: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Well I think the signage looks really good on the 4d cinema, and the dodgems. But detonators looks awful in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk ....that sign I just posted, which doesn't even fit the plaque it sits on.. looks really good? You have low expectations if that's the case.

Kerfuffle Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Negatives, Negatives, Negatives! Well, at least we know where electricBill's 'FORP GOES WRONG' comes from now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think Detonator is currently in the best styling with Dodgems and 4D signage needing some work - but I think it's something that will be considered. I'm not too sure why Detonator's photo kiosk has remained though, unless it's to return to having photos since its now Angry Birds?

pognoi Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Lol no they just replaced the sign and stuck a random fat bird near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The way I'd refer to it is.. Enough to make people see the tie in with Angry Birds; but little enough for people to appreciate that it is still a high-thrill drop ride. It also doesn't hinder the lovely view of Detonator with it's Inferno backdrop dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Those of you going to Thorpe in the coming days (me included), prepare for one HELL of a complete cacophony! (Angry Birds theme tune: Detonator audio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Detonator was/is close to perfection anyway its audio suits it down to a tee! dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hmmm, not gonna lie, I was expecting an audio change. And, in some ways, I kinda wanted an audio change. Would have been interesting to make the audio a bit more comical and light-hearted for such a scary and imposing ride; almost like how Tidal Wave creates a comedy out of a tragedy. Think, if pulled off right, it would have worked really well. I guess I'm more in the minority with the opinion though! I wonder how much guest (or even enthusiast?) views played a part in deciding whether to keep the audio or not? HermanTheGerman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I would rather they kept the one currently, it suits it perfectly! Did last season anyway... Because they are playing it so quietly this year, and now with the angry birds music you can hardly hear it which is a shame . Hope they fix the speakers soon!

Sidders Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 I agree with ThorpeAddict. The current theme could be used interchangeably with Detonator and Angry Birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
