InfernoMartin Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I know its only minor details and I should be grateful that the ride is running, but it would be nice over the closed season  if the wheel covers are sorted as some are missing and a few of them  without the fire stripes on them.

Pickles Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Pfft. Inferno isn't the worst! You obviously haven't done Stealth in the rain if you think Inferno's trouble!  I've done stealth, the point of my post is the getting wet part not the rain being painful part.  Just sayin' Olistjj and paige 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think mean streak in the rain wins most painful. Massive drips from the supports, the increase in running speed and the ride lasts forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 ...while Stealth gives you the experience of being shot at by a miniature firing squad! try riding Time Machine at adventure island in the pouring rain!!!

Â Let's be honest here, Mean Streak doesn't need rain to be painful, it does a perfectly good job of that in nice weather...

Matt 236 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Did an inferno ride on the back row in the rain whilst dark. Quite possibly the best ride I've had on this beast this year. For once it was almost at Nemesis style force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Something about Inferno really owes to being ridden in the dark in my opinion. Every memory I've ever had of riding it in the dark has been amazing. holtjammy16 and OldFarmerDean 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 It rode so well in the dark last night! It was better than any other time I've ridden it! Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 It was brilliant in the dark tonight. Makes such a difference when the mist is working which it was tonight. The smoke machine coming from Blair Witch Project also added a great effect too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The mist really did have a great effect last night! That ride on Inferno was possibly my most disorientating ride yet, as at the end of the tunnel, there was so much mist that I couldn't even see the exit, and it was just at dusk as well so of course I couldn't see any daylight!

Whatever Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I do have to say though, when I went in the morning on Friday, the smoke was working really well, but when I went at night, it wasn't! Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSt0rm Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I do have to say though, when I went in the morning on Friday, the smoke was working really well, but when I went at night, it wasn't! Weird. By that time its cold enough without it xD I went on it on Sunday at around 5-6 and the smoke was working (Only in the tunnel tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olistjj Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 The smoke wasn't on for all day Friday and Saturday at all. However coming out of Blair Witch I saw a view of the station which I've never seen before, I'm sure some of you have but I thought... that looks pretty cool: Â coastercameron98, tomglazed, InfernoMartin and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Argh which bit is that? Â I'm thinking coming out of the station.. but I swear that was themed or at least you couldn't see underneath it. This has confused me so much!

Benin Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 It is coming out the station, as that's the only location on the ride which has the dropping fence... Â I too swear it used to be themed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Apparently not. A photo from it's opening year found on googles. Â Â The rockwork will protect you when looking from the lockers area. That's exciting apart from anyone who used to go on da TP express or now do blair witch.

Project LC Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Scary thought of the day. What if the reason nemesis inferno isnt in the feb half term line up is becuase its getting the backwards treatment like the six flags ones. Unlikely but could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 As possible as it is,I'm pretty sure that isn't going to be happening as there's been no mention of anything happening yet (even Swarm backwards was announced earlier than this back in 2013). Another reason why this won't be happening is because the last update of Themepark Guide's closed season pics depicts a fully built train in the station. I think if this ride isn't to appear in the lineup, it may be so the dark ride construction can progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnaird Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I would hate thorpe to do a backwards train on nemesis inferno the backrow is the best place to sit in my opinion and it will just cause so much hassle with queuing pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Nahhh, can't see it happening to be honest. Â Don't think it's worth thinking about really. Â There's no need for them to do it. Â Swarm's situation was different, due to the fact they need to up the "thrill factor" of the ride and make it more appealing for people to come and visit. Â Inferno is a trusty ride which (I assume) has good guest satisfaction. Â Okay, it's the 'least special' of the main coasters (as in, no gimmicks compared to the rest), but that does the ride some favours, perhaps making it as a more accessible major ride. Â Adding backwards rows would take that away from the ride, and isn't really necessary (in the sense of the ride doesn't need any more attention than what it gets - not saying Swarm's backwards rows are necessary!). Â If we see backwards rows on Inferno this year, I'll eat my hat. Â (Also, we don't know that Inferno isn't on the half term line up yet!) Â Â (After such confidence on my behalf, watch as Thorpe announce Inferno's backward rows sometime this week...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 They would have to turn the whole train around. Its very hard to do select rows. I did just say that as a scary thought. I didnt mean it to be a serious suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Â Don't even think about it. Something like that could be enough to trigger a rage induced murderous rampage in me. pognoi and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
