WillMontu Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I enjoy Hulk's "Everything looks good. I think...I think this time it's going to work!" "Warning! Fluid levels dropping" "Nooooooooo!"
steel Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 When VF!'s version of Steel Venom first opened, the ride ops would say something like... "Alright folks, the snake is ready to bite. Steel Venom's gonna strike in 3...2...1...*launch*" That was a better time. I think Dragster's launch prep is really cool as well. "Keep your head back and your arms down... arms down... arms down... arms down... arms down... arms down. *revv... revv... revv...* *BAM*"
stingrock23 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I gotta go with the Hulk, just above Joker's Jinx
Angry_Gumball Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 "Keep head against headrest. Prepare to launch in 10...9..8....*Screech!* Goodbye!" -V2: Vertical Velocity, SFMW/DK
sgt-ned-flanders Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 You know , never really pay attention to the messages, I notice that they are said in many languages , however
yankees15 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Gotta love Storm Runner's launch spiel! "Alright riders, sit upright with head back and hold on tight to the grab handles at all times and keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times" (horse noise and heart beats)... Now Get ready, here we go! That has to be the all time best launch spiel! You can see and hear the whole spiel here, just ignore that really annoying lady.
bulldogmom Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I've never been on TTD yet, but I've seen videos, and I agree the pre-launch sounds are really cool- they fit perfect w/the theming. At Busch Gardens Europe, at least the last time I rode it in 1993, on the Big Bad Wolf they said "Prepare to travel at the speed of fright". I thought that was cool. And on Drachen Fire, they said something about "riding on the flames of the Drachen Fire" - also cool. Also cool is the soundtrack on the lift hill in Disaster Transport. It follows the theme, like you're on a futuristic transport to Alaska and something goes awry. The last thing you hear before the drop is "I'm losing controoooooll...."
What Now Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I like Rockin' Roller Coaster's: 3...2...1....GO!
Blnkgttrst Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Not a launch, but on Acraphobia waiting at the top the ride op said "you are the weakest link, goodbye" and random stuff along those lines. Love it. But i think Xcellerator is the best, cause you dont know its coming other than the small rollback.
arrowfanman Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Does anybody else think that California Screamin's "launch voice" sounds like Fry, from Futurama? I'm going crazy. Anyway...CA Screamin' and Rock 'N Roller Coaster. Cant say I've been on another with the audio at the launch. -Jahan
obeygiant Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Revenge of the Mummy.. "YOUR SOULS ARE MINEEEEEEEEE!"
arrowfanman Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 ^ OMG! How can I forget ROTM! Sorry Joey! Yeah, my favorite launch audio would definitely have to be Revenge of the Mummy. I stand corrected. -Jahan
ElToroExtreme Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Kingda Ka "Arms Down Head Back Hold on" *Loud ass fog horn* Gone
philthephorce Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 1. Hulk- Took me by surprise the first time...and a few more times after that. 2. ROTM- Actually more surprising than Hulk's, but it didn't stand out as much because of the general sensory overload going on by that part of the ride. 3. TTD- C'mon, you gotta love the sound of a drag racer!
Superman Escape Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Definatly Bust lunch voice over.... Superman Escape Aus "Dont worry folks... theres only one way out off this mess, keep your heads back, i push you out of here... FAST!" OMG i love that
Gav Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Definatly Bust lunch voice over.... Superman Escape Aus"Dont worry folks... theres only one way out off this mess, keep your heads back, i push you out of here... FAST!" OMG i love that Yeah, i love that. Its also cool when you see the blue flash when superman flies in, and the voicover has a random person saying "Its Superman!"
IceDragon Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 i think Ritas launch is effective for the whole racing idea. 'ok racers, get those engline ready' *revving sounds* *launch* 'GO GO GO!'
IwantRevenge Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Revenge of the Mummy in Hollywood! "All you souls belong to me!"*evil laugh**launch* I Think Chiller launch depends on the operator, I just remembered this one: "all right folks who wants a count down?"*people raise there hands and the op pretends to count*"All right then...10"*launch* "Launching batman"*launches robin*"oops wrong button" A good chiller operator makes all the diffrence.
bgwfreak Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 It's not a launch, but kinda the same on Acrophobia (SFOG) Some of them will say at the top... "You'll be dropping in 5, 4, 3...(releases you) Oops!" ** Also before they took away all the theming in as far as the prelaunch talk on Flight of Fear it was cool. They said different things (the recording). My favorite was..."You think you're observing us? Then why are you locked in your seat!!!" I can't remember the other ones.
mrhambone Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 How about PKD/PKI Flight Of Fear - "Thank you for showing us your world. Not it's our turn to show you ours.... **launch**" Aside - Best launch ever was off an aircraft carrier, sitting backwards in a windowless cargo plane, with no clue, and into the remnants of a tropical storm. Talk about intense.
Reon Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 KI's still says that line AFTER you get off at the second station now. Still, I wish FoF had some good ride-ops for this kind of thing. As for what I like, WT ride ops were good when I went on it (though its only been operation during 1/3 of my CP trips.) They had some good lines like "Launching in 3, 2 *launch* 1." and the whole who wants to go screamy thing. Also, I agree that StormRunner has a great sequence. The heartbeat really builds up intensity, and the "Here we go" is perfectly timed. Sadly, TTD doesnt do it for me. The rev is sweet and all, but the launch is too delayed. Sure it builds up anticipation, but just sitting there for what seems like a minute reving the engine before the countdown gets a little annoying IMO. Also, Hulk is pretty good, but you can't really hear the speil over the squel of the tire lift and the siren.
socalMAN123 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 California Screamin: Alright screamers, head back, face forward, and hang on!...Launch in 5,4,3,2,1! Xcelerator: Either no noise or I once had a crazy ride op say "Alright, 321! Haha, scared you, didn't I?*launch* ---Brent
Xxhershey818xX Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Not Really a roller Coaster But a Kalahari in sandusky on the Zip Coaster you get Launched out then up the hill. Ride Op: Say "Woo-Hoo" Us: "Whoo-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
