Fred Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Subway was obviously heavily thought of in the past, because it even appeared in the T&Cs of where we couldn't get discount on park. Just don't think you'd ever be able to get the volume right for a theme park subway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 They would indeed need a lot of staff and a monstrous amount of stations, I personally don't think it ever would of worked in a busy park, although their breakfast menu is the bomb!

JoshC. Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Imagine the busiest Subway you've been to at lunch time, ten times busier. That would be a theme park Subway all the time... *shudders* MattyMoo and Inferno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 ^ I can. They're full of gristle and the meat tastes disgusting a lot of the time. I even prefer the ones at Morrisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Just a thought, was this announcement ever used in the station?

Ricky Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yes! It was the first launch soundtrack, I think it was removed due to lack of safety information during the launch or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 This is absolutely what the launch track is in my head, what does it say these days then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's - " Place your head's back, face forwards, ......... 3 2 1 go go go!" That one is " Ready to go, looking good, heads back hold tight.... 3 2 1 go go go" C'mon pete it's been like this since like 2007!

pluk Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Haha, I'm really observant huh? I guess my brain just wants to remember the clearly superior original announcement. I wonder if it shorter because that better fits the time it takes the ride to actually launch? Otherwise why not just replace the 'hold tight' with 'face forwards', if that was what was required safety wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I didnt realised the change when it happened but I remember that now. The voice is barely any different but the little feedback whine instantly takes me back to standing in the Stealth queue in 2006. The familiar new one is slightly longer and doesn't always have time to play the whole way through. It's: "Place your heads back, face forward, hold on tight and brace yourself!" With lots of revving sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 The hold on tight and brace yourselves is the station ambience while the train is being loaded Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Wonder if it was for safety, when considering Ritas now says: Keep your heads back. Hold on tight. You must escape. Go Go................... *sips some tea*... GO. Ricky, Altitude, StealthRider and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ritas should surely now say: Keep your heads back. Hold on tight. Protect your face from the red hot splinters of metal shrapnel. You must escape. Go Go GO. Whiteknuckle, Inferno, Mattgwise and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Stealth should be open when I go on the 27th right?..... I didn't get to go on it last august as they had replaced the launch cable and it was being silly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 There's a 99% chance Stealth will be open on the day you're visiting. Although the ride was closed for a hefty time towards the end of the 2012 season with Colossus (due to maintenance work I believe), the ride seemed very reliable last year and was up and running each time I visited with no major downtime on any of those days.

OldFarmerDean Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just a thought... I wonder why thorpe didn't seize the opportunity to have the highest coaster in the UK when they built stealth, with the big one only being a few feet taller than what stealth is!?
