TimR Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wasn't Rumba shut during the week? Maybe it was to remove this?That makes sense now you mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty22 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 WHY WAS THE POWER SHOWER TAKEN DOWN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 WHY WAS THE POWER SHOWER TAKEN DOWNI think it was a health and safety hazard because people would stand up to avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 WHY WAS THE POWER SHOWER TAKEN DOWNCan you please not use capital letters all the way through it makes the post seem very angry, thanks.In answer to your question, the shower hasn't been taken down its just not working, it stopped working becuase they though people would stand up to aviod it.

NickD Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think it just fell down , that's why the ride shutdown and why the effect is no longer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 You can see where the waterfall was located in these pictures:© Thorpe Park Mania 2009Now I'm with it!Unfortunately on Sunday I never got to see it because when I went to queue for it, there was a fault and they weren't letting anyone in the queue.I remember a wall, but no water coming over the top of it.

Lordcutter6 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Went on Sunday, and the water as you go into the dark shack thing which I thought was on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Went on Sunday, and the water as you go into the dark shack thing which I thought was on!Apart from a few splashes into the boat from Rapids and the Waterfall in the tunnel that never gets you anyway the tunnel is the only thing that really gets you wet, I think I can name 4 effects that don't work anymore.1. Waterfall round first corner2. Little jets on bank, before the tunnel and lift.3. Power Shower4. Trickle of water from the queue line bridge (if you know what I mean)I'm not really sure if the Power Shower counts as I'm not sure if it worked in the first place.

Trickle of water from the queue line bridge (if you know what I mean)All the above apart from the shower have worked this season. Although the waterfall has now left the ride.

Stokesyboy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I have only been on it once and didnt find it that good and that was even with the ribena characters in the tunnel :)I dont see much point in the ride tbh unless someone can convince me to go on it again I probably wont be going back on it which is a shame because I like these sort of rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I only saw gold strips of something and lights It weird, if you on the left side as you go into the dark tunnel you don't get wet by the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Are the ribena people still in the tunnel or have they gone now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Are the ribena people still in the tunnel or have they gone now??They have gone. All of the "Ribena" theming was removed along with the ending of the sponsership in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 They have gone. All of the "Ribena" theming was removed along with the ending of the sponsership in 2008.I think the sponsorship expired before then, 2007 was it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino. Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 when I went in april, there where still little ribena current people on the hut thing when you go past the rocks.........but not in the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Are the ribena people still in the tunnel or have they gone now??Old bits of theming are still there, and in the tunnel the berries are still there but they are draped in lights so its hard to see them.

themeparkmad Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have not been on Rumba Rapids yet this season (a disgrace I know! )but are there any effects still in operation or any new effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have not been on Rumba Rapids yet this season (a disgrace I know! )but are there any effects still in operation or any new effects?The waterfall as you enter the tunnel seems to be slightly more powerful this year - creating a better, wetter experience!

Theme Park bloke Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I have not been on Rumba Rapids yet this season (a disgrace I know! )Me too! I went last month for a day and it was having problems just when we went to queue for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I know that quite alot of the effects on Rumba Rapids are either broken or removed. Does anyone know if there are any plans for effects to be added on Rumba Rapids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I HATE the new fastrack que for this ride. Today people were walking down the fastrack route and joining the mian que pushing infront of us people who had waited a while when they didn't even have fastrack tickets.
