March 9, 201510 yr Author comment_204686 Believe that was working at the end of season - not sure if it was on at the weekend.
March 9, 201510 yr comment_204688 Yeah there was the shower, yellow arch with water coming down, water jets that shoot up, water squirters halfway down the slide, water guns in the queueline and a few more things, most of which are now off or not even there anymore.
March 10, 201510 yr comment_204711 I don't recall them ever having one, but if it broke then why wasn't it replaced? The Merlin overlords needed a new Champagne bar.

I've always thought that they only turn some of them on in the summer, as people don't want to go through a shower in March.
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213310 Oh dear... Spooky, as I was there again yesterday with Marc and Liam, and in the queue for Storm Surge we mentioned (then found and watched) that video of the guy falling out at the end of the ride!
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213313 Normally I'd make a big speech about irresponsible people ruining it for others and do they not realise they could get a ride permanently closed if their actions cause the owners to deem the ride unsafe etc. But as it's Storm Surge...
July 20, 201510 yr comment_213316 Wow! Somepeople do some ridiculous things sometimes, at least it didn't end badly and he was banned (it's people like this that result in over the top rules in our parks). I too was at Thorpe yesterday (and got Stormed by the Surge)
August 8, 201510 yr Author comment_214310 Rode storm surge last night and noticed new squirt effects have been added around the trough - mainly around the top bit. Gets you a little more wet now
August 8, 201510 yr comment_214323 Yes marc we noticed this last night too I'm sure ive seen the ones coming off the lift hill itself before though ? There is about 3/4 sets of sprays I think ?
August 8, 201510 yr comment_214332 The geyser is also working as well as the yellow sprays at the bottom of the trough. If you pass through with them on you get soaked. I prefer it with these effects, makes it a tiny bit worth going on compared to before, but Only downfall is that the boats were already deep enough in water and this has been made worse now as they still don't bother pumping out the water.
August 8, 201510 yr Author comment_214348 Yes marc we noticed this last night too I'm sure ive seen the ones coming off the lift hill itself before though ? There is about 3/4 sets of sprays I think ? I think the ones from the lift are old yeah , the ones in the side of the trough are definitely new though
August 8, 201510 yr comment_214351 Yeah when I went on it last week all the effects were on, first time I've seen effects work on it since it's open, makes it a little better. Boats had ridiculous amount of water in them though and my feat got soaked.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215806 Lift hill was leaking an awful lot today and, along with the rain, caused a lovely big puddle... (Yep, it's that time of season where I'm seriously just going to post pictures of puddles)
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215807 Does anyone else have to stop themselves and think when they realise that Storm Surge is an actual ride at Thorpe Park? It's always a bit of a surprise to see it still even exists
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215810 It should've just stayed put and become a Legoland attraction. The colours would've fitted perfectly!
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215819 Lift hill was leaking an awful lot today and, along with the rain, caused a lovely big puddle... Seen it like that many times before, it's one of many reasons why Storm Surge was a poor addition to the park, along with the fact that it's awful and looks like it has been taken out of a skip.
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215826 Unfortunately it is also a very popular ride. Definitely one of the favourites of the nine and eleven year olds that I went with yesterday. They rode it four times. Except for the fact they were constantly complaining about the water in the bottom and my mum reckons she's been bitten with something that was in it (she was wearing flip flops)
August 24, 201510 yr comment_215828 I had to walk through that puddle TWICE today. fun times eh Lift hill was leaking an awful lot today and, along with the rain, caused a lovely big puddle... (Yep, it's that time of season where I'm seriously just going to post pictures of puddles)
August 25, 201510 yr comment_215883 Looks like a washout to me, just like the ride. Storm Splurger would've been a hundred times better at Florida Legoland than Thorpe.

August 26, 201510 yr comment_216009 I used to call it storm turd, but storm splurger is definitely what I'm gonna call it from now on Not forgetting Splorm Splurs as well.
