James Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes the Flying Fish definatly opened today at around 2pm. Although there was a sign saying that it was for limited periods only and may be closed at any point during the day and the queue cleared. Its in the trip reports topic =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHW Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Does anyone have imagery or videos of the fish in operation??? With the finishing touches ect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haz Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 ^no sorry I don't I only a few videos taken from my phone which are ok quality I'll try and get them up this afternoon. The theming on the ride is really bare to be honest the area where the ride goes around looks ugly with pipes and horrible mud puddles in the middle hopefully there will be a large improvement soon. Also the seats are nice and comfy and the new lap bars are great. The announcer sounds really good and sounds very much like Billy Bob etc. The fish is great but no-where near the standard as to what it was a few years ago.EDIT:I now have photos and videosIt's the fishLogoTrainhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMdNydnN6MYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j7jHmmOgSUSorry about the poor quality but that's the best I could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Is it me or is the Fish abit slower than before? Very long queue yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 It is apparently slower. Might just be the ride settling in, and then brought up to full speed, or maybe H&S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Not long till I go on! Woooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHW Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 To be honest the ride isn't really that great. Only because its returned from the past, never isn't really up to its 'exciting' levels. But I haven't ridden the Fish yet this season so I really can't judge...yet that is.I think people are hoping for the best because its the new ride for this season, but still better than nothing.What I am really trying to say that I want to know where there is a Fastrack and Single Rider Queuelines installed, but I really see no point. (In my point of view anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomnorthi Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 When I Went on they kept sending it round until someone joined the queue. At one point we went round 6 times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I don't know if any of you have heard of the european coaster club? Anyway I'm apart of it and I visited with them last september, and at the end of a busy day the coaster club were booked to have an hour on nemesis inferno and stealth with no one else. And we got about ten consecutive goes on inferno ( I started feeling sick after a while) then after that about 5 goes on stealth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
