Does my head in how they change the sequences - this should be the standard one every time. Apparently the operator can manually shoot the water up also!?!
Watched a few videos of this ride now. I have questions, maybe a fellow ride enthusiast can answer them? 1) Why did it close? Too expensive, too dangerous, low per-hour capacity? 2) Obviously, it appears that gravity is mostly in charge of where the gondola spins (barring that last face-first water jet in the face). But it looks like the swinging of the larger part changed from video to video (again, barring that last part). Am I correct or am I imagining that? And if the former, who/what was in charge of making the swing sequence? 3) Similar question for the water jets -- some parts look like fixed behavior, other parts look look the water jets are somewhat randomized to give an element of surprise. Am I right or wrong there? Whatever the answers, this ride looked like it was incredible, and I'm sorry to learn about its existence and closure in the same instant. I've been to England in late August, but that was confined to London, Oxford, and the Cotswolds; the weather was actually cool and a bit stormy. Since these locales only represent a small portion of the country, can someone tell me what summer is like where Alton Towers is? Because I have to say -- I'd need to be on the verge of heat exhaustion to risk getting so incredibly soaked!! And I know soaked...Jurassic Park ride at Universal, anyone? ...I am rambling. I am sorry.
the best part of this ride is probably when thee thing releases and it goes in a totall spin whn i went too alton towers ii waa crapping too goo on this lyk
