They are on, and in use, and have been for many years now. You may do well to check your sources before posting in future. as you presented your statement as fact when, well, it isn't.

You always have to get your two cents in, dont you?
June 20, 20169 yr comment_237104 What part of the music comes out of the bass cannons? Is it just the rumbling in the background? Never realised there was a woofer above the entrance until lately, makes the queue music sound really good!

Dispatch theme and station music is very loud The Inferno operator now wears a headset thing, and says down the PA "All checks compete, ready for dispatch" before they dispatch every single train. Must be a new thing from either yesterday or today, as they weren't doing that on Friday. That also happens on every ride at LEGOLAND
June 20, 20169 yr comment_237110 Inferno have had these announcements for a couple of months now, and are to ensure that the hosts are clear, as well as providing audible confirmation for the guests to hear that all safety protocols, steps and procedures have and are being followed correctly.
June 21, 20169 yr comment_237128 I'm sure the announcements are something Merlin are bringing in to reassure guests. I took my daughter on Mia's Riding Adventure at Legoland and during the checks the op had to say "you're secure" for every single rider. Partaking in geekery since 1985
June 21, 20169 yr comment_237129 First off, the reason as to why they may be doing this is because Inferno does not have proper dispatch audio like the rest of the coasters, and as I have seen it there is only one operator who does this. For the wave acoustic cannons, they were pretty much filled with dust rendering them useless, but they seem to have been cleaned up a bit.
June 21, 20169 yr comment_237130 ^ Inferno has an automatic announcement like all other coasters telling you to hold tight and brace your self each dispatch
June 21, 20169 yr comment_237198 Had to queue 60 min for a ride on Inferno today - was advertised as 35 but then they spent 15 minutes putting a second train on. The Sound cannons definitely weren't working today, all the sound was coming out of the regular speakers and the cannons were completely silent as they were last time I came at the start of the season, they're so noticeable when they're on! The mist was all working though which was nice.
June 21, 20169 yr comment_237204 They have worked in recent times, but for a good while they were worlds most expensive birds nests. I expect them to be rigged up with springwatch cameras next year.
July 22, 20169 yr comment_238780 Went to Thorpe on Tuesday and found that Inferno was running rather well and faster than usual due to the heat. The loop and the last helix did cause slight pain in my head. Guessing its due to the extra amount of speed as I never usually get head pain. One let down was the tunnels lights and mist not working. The queue did reach 100 minutes on Tuesday though as quite afew schools were on the site.
July 24, 20169 yr comment_238865 They have worked in recent times, but for a good while they were worlds most expensive birds nests. I expect them to be rigged up with springwatch cameras next year. Can just imagine the hacked off female bird in the nest when they got them working. "Make our nest here you said, it will be cosy and quiet you said"
July 25, 20169 yr comment_238915 I've heard the mist is broken... So suggests why the lights are off too, as the tunnel is so well themed they wouldn't want you to see inside now would they
July 25, 20169 yr comment_238922 The mist was of yesterday but I don't know whether it's broken. Thorpe have done well to keep all of nemmy's effects most of the time this season
September 6, 20168 yr comment_241021 Haven't been for a couple months, have they got the mist back on yet?
September 6, 20168 yr comment_241023 Its been on and off over the recent period, depends mainly on the time of day your over there.
