nemesis-storm Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Rush - The S&S screamin' swing is now under going testing at Thorpe Park A rather un-interesting video clip of the ride testing is at this site http://www.themeuk.net/Themeukindex.html
Inferno Insane Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Looks more promising than Slammer was. Think it's still waiting for its 4th air tank to be installed so can’t test both sides yet. Can’t wait hear this T-Rex roar everyone going on about? When I next visit in June.
pgathriller Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Looks like a decent ride but nothing special. I also agree that it looks more promising than slammer.
kenshinmac Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 That can't be running near full speed. I think it is a wear in type thing. Just trying to test all the basic systems and check that they are all working properly. I can't help but think it would be a rush being in the seats closest to the edge. I mean just imagine seeing the other swing rushing towards you then whoosh as the air passes by. Man that sounds fun... I kinda thought the ride would be taller though...
SharkTums Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 It looks so funny!!! Just as if they welded a bunch of them together! Elissa "it should be a fun ride if it's like the normal ones!" Alvey
Jordan Shankman Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I rode a version of this at KBF a few weeks ago and it was awesome. Only problem with it was the duration of the ride. Only 2-3 good swings.
Inferno Insane Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 An other test vid, Both arms swinging at full height this time 8) Also heard its can run with only 2 tanks instead of the so 4. Here hoping a soft opening soon :? http://www.fotowhizz.com (Vid) and http://www.amitycove.co.uk (Photos)
Inferno Insane Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Sorry to double post :? Thorpe's Web Site been updated with a Opening date For Rush - 27th May. http://www.thorpe-park.com/. Shame I be out the Country, On that day I rather ride Goliath 8) than that
robbeal Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Beat me to it! Seems everyone's elsewhere that day, i'm in Shepton Mallet (glamourous eh!) doing archery, my mate who almost certainly would've been there for the opening is at Disneyland Paris. They could have a quiet opening at this rate! Good to see a ride open on time this year for a change though.
