Project LC Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 No the mist was off for a few hours. from about 3 onwards as far as I was aware. Last rode it at about 5:15 so it could have come back on after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Depending what system it is it'll continuously need topping up so will stop now and then, I guess it depends whether an engineer is off fixing Stealth or Swarm as to how quickly the thing get's topped up if it runs out. There's a place round here that has a 'smoke machine' and they are always forgetting to top the tank up in the morning and my mate often get's a call during his lunch hour to go refill the thing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian-S Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks for the link it's a bit more than water mind you, I'm guessing the Inferno system (considering the ride's age) is a liquid nitrogen based one (especially since the fog is cold and tends to fall rather than the glyco/distilled water systems that are not cold and rise easily), but I could be wrong lol.

Mattgwise Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Still unbelievable how inconsistent it is. To be on and off in the space of a couple of hours really is odd. Perhaps it operates by timer and actually switches on and off at intervals. Who knows? OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 A theme park experience shouldn't be hit or miss though, that's the thing Either sort out the mist, or just remove it and theme the inside of the tunnel to an extent... dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFarmerDean Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Or do both? When the mist is working with the lights, there's no need for it to be themed to be honest. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 To be honest I doubt Thorpe theming NI's tunnel anytime soon. Thorpe will probably spend there budget on what there used to, stupid IP ideas and gimmicks.. they will probably do it up when it is at the point of despair, Colossus anyone?

Coaster Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Inferno was insane yesterday at nearly 10pm, I have never had such an intense ride on it, brilliant! In the morning I don't really rate it highly, but it was very nearly on par with Nemesis at AT in terms of intensity yesterday evening.

And it's my favourite ride In the park, and would usually say the original nemesis is better too... But wow I'm not sure why or how it was running so well last night as it was my favourite ride on it ever! Shame about the mist though as I didn't see it working all weekend pognoi and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about IAC music still being played in the queue though, even though it wasn't even open. The station music was pretty good, but a shame it was being played so quietly.

dragon2000 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Agree with everyone saying how awesome Inferno was running on Sunday night. It was flying! So fast. Also hate the IAC jingle going off throughout the queue, luckily there wasn't much of a wait on Sunday. Could never hear the Fright Nights music/announcement in the station, compared to the Colossus one which is mega loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno is such an under-rated ride, at night is when it truly comes alive. Love hearing comments like yours when it comes to a ride I've alway regarded rather well.

Graw Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 yeah, I went yesterday and there was no smoke at all. dissapointing. however, inferno was absolutely insane yesterday...didnt even feel like I was riding the same inferno I have been for years. I don't know what's happened to it but it was so intense, I loved it. definitely made me appreciate the ride a lot more :-).

400400 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 One thing I wish they would do on neme inf is to turn the queue barrier into a gate. The one before you walk back and fourth loads, so on days that aren't so busy we don't have to walk the queue Kerfuffle, Richard_L, pognoi and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon2000 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 They've ruined the Inferno music even more. Still annoying I'm a Celebrity music in the queue. Then when the train is dispatched it plays a safety announcement over the original dispatch soundtrack. You volume is quiet so you can not hear either clearly but can we please just go back to the drama of bass pumping dispatch without any announcements over the top!

TraX Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Why do they muck about with stuff that used to work? So many small touches that take away the drama and theatrics of a ride.

I miss the days of 2013 with the Dispatch music blasting out with the new station music, and the entrance music blasting out in the queue Richard_L, OldFarmerDean, Coaster and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
