Matt10 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 It would definitely improve rumba as the only theming looks really old.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, the ride lost most it's theming after the Ribena contract ended, it could sure use something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 They could market themselves as the water ride for girls who don't want to get their hair wet. paige 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewumbrajumbos Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 What happened to the water that came down at the entrance of the Rumba tunnel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 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  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 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 Doc, MachoMachine, Whiteknuckle and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 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.

Jordanluke2009 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably didn't mean to sound rude, it's probably that they didn't want a crowd watching them. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Jordanluke2009 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
