Posted October 11, 200915 yr comment_72492 Wasn't sure where to put this thread but if anyone has any pictures of any ride control panels... post them here to make fanboys go "ooooooh"
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72505 I love the Nemesis Inferno panel Ian!I wouldn't mind operating that myself!
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72515 I would guess things like ride effects, (water fountain in tunnel, water shoots etc).
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72551 Just remember if you don't know what stealth control panel looks like, look at Rita's!, Also I found it interesting when Harry told me that windows is a key control of it!
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72565 Intamin are the only ones too my knowledge that use windows. Most will have a small screen, like a led scroller, that will just come up with error message.
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72566 I like Hex's control panels. Very high tech, and also a glimpse of Corkscrew from Rita's
October 11, 200915 yr comment_72567 As much as its a good ride, corkscrew was a little too bumpy for my likingEDIT: I love on Airs touchscreen picture it says "daily tests must be completed"

October 12, 200915 yr comment_72650 Other than Vampire, Runaway Train I would really like to operate. You get to make use of the PA, as well as being able to have control of how many circuits the train makes!

You get to make use of the PA, as well as being able to have control of how many circuits the train makes!It's easily my favourite ride to operate at Chessington. The Interactiveness of the ride and the way you control every aspect of it (speed, amount of circuits etc) just makes it fun... hours fly by at it.

December 2, 200915 yr comment_77555 The new Dragon's Fury control panel looks mighty fine indeed! :)Thanks for the picture!
December 2, 200915 yr comment_77578 cant see it blocked, just it provide any new functionality or what? is it easier to use?It does look quite well labelled and layed out for the Dragon's Fury operator.I just hope there is more than just putting the same 2 buttons now for the operator on Dragon's Fury!
December 3, 200915 yr comment_77600 It does look quite well labelled and layed out for the Dragon's Fury operator.I just hope there is more than just putting the same 2 buttons now for the operator on Dragon's Fury! It was changed this year, it's more to allow the operator to view the whole queueline as the old control panel obscured the view. Other then that, it was exactly the same to operate.
December 3, 200915 yr comment_77623 Seems weird for an operator to need to see the queueline though? Must be like one of the only rollercoaster which can see its queue.

Must be like one of the only rollercoaster which can see its queue.Well you see Fury, being a main attraction and pretty sun drenched had a lot of people fainting due to dehydration for instance. Vampire was covered in tree shadow so got away with it but I remember one day at Fury where I had to keep people in the first part of the queue line as so many people had fainted in the extension.
December 4, 200915 yr comment_77628 Chessington needs tree cover or canopies then! There's really no excuse!
December 4, 200915 yr comment_77629 Mark - You say the operator has to be able to see the queue as it is a main attraction. What about Dragon Falls then? Dragon Falls is even more busy, obviously, in the summer. Isn't that queue line completely exposed to the sun too?Really, I think it is common sense that you take a drink with you if you are standing around in a long queue in the sun.(Or is that just me ).Dragon's Fury - I have also seen someone faint but this was just at the batching point.I felt so sorry for them as they looked so embarrased but obviously there was nothing she could do.
