themeparkmad Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I love the Nemesis Inferno panel Ian!I wouldn't mind operating that myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I would guess things like ride effects, (water fountain in tunnel, water shoots etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 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!

Ricky Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I like Hex's control panels. Very high tech, and also a glimpse of Corkscrew from Rita's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

themeparkmad Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The new Dragon's Fury control panel looks mighty fine indeed! :)Thanks for the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 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!

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.

Fred Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Fred Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Chessington needs tree cover or canopies then! There's really no excuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 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.
