August 4, 201510 yr comment_213896 It would definitely improve rumba as the only theming looks really old....
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213924 Well, the ride lost most it's theming after the Ribena contract ended, it could sure use something.
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213925 Has anyone seen the sprinklers on at the end of the ride this season? Or has it lost the only part of the ride which gets you wet?
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213927 Rumba for me is in a dire state at the moment, arguably worse than Loggers (which is mostly lacking a tunnel ATM). The sprinklers haven't worked at all this year and unless you every unlucky, you will come off Rumba almost bone dry currently.
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213970 They could market themselves as the water ride for girls who don't want to get their hair wet.
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213971 What happened to the water that came down at the entrance of the Rumba tunnel?
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213973 If you watch this video between 40 seconds and 65 seconds, you can see 3 water effects which I've never seen. It's a shame, such simple little water effects could actually make the ride so much more interesting. There was also this effect which I only ever saw once. I can understand why this was removed, I got more wet than I would on Tidal Wave. I remember seeing this from Inferno and wondering what it was
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213974 The one at 1:05 I have seen in use multiple times. The others I have only ever seen once a long while ago and I was starting to question myself on if I just made it up when I was younger.
August 4, 201510 yr comment_213975 The fireman hose one I have only seen in use once which was while we were riding and really did drench you
August 5, 201510 yr comment_213977 The sprinklers worked for a few days towards the beginning of the season.
August 7, 201510 yr comment_214152 This picture will haunt me for the rest of my life The internet is a fantastic thing isn't it!
August 12, 201510 yr comment_214830 So this epic boat jammin' sesh happened yesterday... (Not my own photo, tis from teh Facebook) Nothing serious of course and something that happens sometimes! Although I can't believe that purple boat that appears to be outside the main trough and going on its own merry journey
October 18, 20159 yr comment_221240 Something bizarre happened on Rumba today, we were going past it and the trough was completely drained, but there was a raft with two people in it just sat on the bottom. Staff were stood on the grass section above it (the raft was stranded in the wave pool section) and we were walking past but were rudely told that there was "NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" - if there was nothing to see then why couldn't we walk past to get to Stealth? Does anyone have any idea what happened?
October 18, 20159 yr comment_221242 If the pumps stop, the ride drains and without water the boats come to rest on the floor. There really is nothing much to see, other than something that usually floats not floating for a bit.
October 18, 20159 yr comment_221249 Someone decided to go and get off the ride and walk into the Forrest and security had to be called to the scene nothing major.

They probably didn't mean to sound rude, it's probably that they didn't want a crowd watching them.
October 18, 20159 yr comment_221251 Someone decided to go and get off the ride and walk into the Forrest and security had to be called to the scene nothing major.It wouldn't surprise me with the amount of idiotic people here today, so far I have been subjected to people smoking in most queues, people swearing at us for walking too slow in the Saw queue (what is the rush to join the back of a queue anyway?! Idiots!), these people then proceeded to jump the gate and join the front of the queue!Yet on all of these occasions, Thorpe have made no effort to prevent things. Yet they are happy to sell them as much beer as they can to make matters even worse! Absolutely shocking.

Unless you're telling the park that these things are happening, they probably don't know they are happening.
