slalom Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) 29/12/2014 : Before ending of the year. I decided to going to Siam Park city again. This is the first time that I went on a working day. Along this trip I visited alone to see more what exactly happen around me and make a new friends during visited. Since I has a short time to visiting today, In this report including Amusement park zone only (Not include Family zone, Small world and Water park) I went to it by Taxi which about 15 Mins. from my home. My main camera was broken so all of this was taken by smartphone camera. Let's checking out! I'm arrived the park at 10 am.. In front of the park have many signs about ASEAN community (AEC) which established in 2015. สวนสยาม (Suan Siam) was the original name of the park. In 2010 The park has Guinness certificate of world's largest man-made wave pool. So, They changing to Siam Park City. Walking They welcome with the colorful entrance castle where they adding new Si-Am mascot on the fountain. Inside the castle is a long lobby hall where you can buy ticket on the left side. Surprisingly! There's look more crowd than weekend. when the line is a bit long, I see ms. Noppagarn -The Park Deputy Managing Director come to see what happening and solve it by herself. They give me a purchase order. If you come with your group, Just one person per PO in a line. In this year they have 2 type of prices. The first one is for Thai resident is 500 bath (over 130 cm.) and 120 bath (101-130 cm.) another ones for Foreigner is 900 bath (30 USD/ Over 130 cm.) and 750 bath (25USD+101-130 cm.). Both are Day Pass Ticket. Today just opens in 2 booth. Day Pass Wristband. Don't warp it by yourself! But go to the gate and staff will scan and wrapped with sticker. when you pass the gate you'll see a double deck carousel. Giant drop is starting test run. Boomerang is locate on the right side. but line look a bit long. I would be check later. First ride of the day with Takeoff. If I remember correctly, This is one of two takeoff park version (Särkänniemi has ones). It gives a great force and I really love it. This ride is high capacity but less rider because it was a really "flat" ride and located in the alley between Log Flume and Boomerang where people rarely come through caused less ride per cycle such 2 out of 40 seats. I think Ranger which under construction behind them will helping it. Twin Dragon - Japanese style pirate ship. Not really big but it was fun. Top Spin Fortunately, It closed for many years ago to waiting spare parts from Huss. The weather is coming hot. I decide to cool down with Log Flume the park's second popular rides. The ride has rotation station, 3 Drops (Reverse one) and double dip drop from the top of tiger-lion mountain. Climbing to the tiger mouth. And drop down from the lion mouth. Under the ride, They have some cleaning staff in many part of ride to keep the pool clear. Dryer - Nobody use them because it make a little splash and don't know how to use it. Mega dance is one of the rare Huss Mega dance model existing in the world. Furthermore swinging option on this ride still work. Gondola Swinging. Balloon Race A luggage bucket when you riding. Look inside. Next up with Enterprise. the most ride ride of the park. Today look like they reducing near vertically spin than last month that I had been visited. After riding Enterprise, I have a great headache. So I'm going to Log Flume Restaurant for a moment. They located in the front of Log Flume. And you can taste with many Thais food at here. I ordered Fried pork with garlic & pepper on rice - the one of ten famous thinkless food for Thais. The taste was good and not so expensive. After eating. Walking a bit. They have fourth languages on the guide sign. Look really clean. Giant Drop? Not this time. Walk on the pleasure street. They have a new paint. And the new park souvenir. I'm stopping at Pedal boat lake where I have many memories at here such the first roller coaster I've ridden (Loop The Loop-SBNO) or when I was Young I like to sit here to see Loop The Loop running before going back to home. This area like time freeze. I really missed it. Pedal boats. Noted! Shops are everywhere around the park. Condor The center of the park the global fountain. They have a few photo spot. Giant Drop - Intamin 75 m. Drop tower. It pretty high during the ride.they have own sound effect. Some cycle they have minor problem such take up very slow or catch car doesn't down back or stuck in the air. That's make more scary. Noticed that they didn't put the covers on the catch car. I have an answer at the end of report! Edited April 14, 2015 by slalom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slalom Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Vortex - Vekoma SLC 787 m extended. I aspect it's rough as many SLC but this one is doesn't. It is fairly smooth and a bit rough in some part. in the station Control panel. Under the ride has a small garden. It is quiet. Roll over Danger zone. Extra helix This bridge located next to an extra helix where connecting to Adventure Island. Inside the island have monkeys in gigantic cage which take care of by stuff. But they closed it for safety to visitor because it is quiet and people can't see from outside. It might be caused of bad thing in here. Si-Am tower - The Huss 109 m. sky tower It's interesting that they doesn't dig a hole on the ground but set up on ground level and passengers load/unload on second floor of building instead. The first floor use for a shop. an extra lighting rod is placed above the cabin. Control panel enthusiast. View from above. Vortex 787 m. Extended in full layout. The water park is over there. Tagada - The most famous ride in the park. "People with bone or nerve problems are not recommended on board" Yup! It bouncing really hard but today an operator turn into manual mode which softer control than last time I had been on. On ride. Octopus Astroliner - the 90's portable simulator. "Hello World" All of old ride placed in indoor. Trabanth - It's kind of weird that they both disk and base are spin is same direction caused no wave effect. Rock and roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4pIWbu_ak Astrofighter Astrofighter air compressor and tanks. Game booth. Mushroom food stall. Aladdin also closed as same as Top Spin. This time for Boomerang. The last ride before going back. The hydraulic cable winch for pull the catch car to the top. Danger zone. Field trip students are waiting their friends comeack. The day of fun is over. So, Thank you for your attention! If you want to know more about this park fell free to ask below ^^ -----According the Giant Drop----- They don't put the cover on a catch car because this ride often stuck on the tower. So the park decided to install release device which controlled by remote. If it stuck, an operator pointing a remote to receiver on a catch car. Then a small pneumatic cylinder pull a cable to detach a hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 ^Nice pictures. Interesting, that remote control feature on the catch car. It's also interesting how the second half of the SLC is mirrored (compared to the standard ones). I believe I've seen a TPR POV of one in China which is also like that but I'm not sure.

I believe I've seen a TPR POV of one in China which is also like that but I'm not sure. Yep! This model is 765 m. extended which have only 2 in the world. Another ones is in Suzhou Amusement Land, China. According to Vekoma info that both are the world's largest SLC model. Some details of the ride. Layout comparison between standard version (White) and 765 extended version (Black). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 What amazing photos of a park I seriously never knew existed. You took some really really good photos of the park. I love the theming of the Log Flume! Looks like a great little park! Also, thanks for explaining the lack of covers on the drop tower! Great trip report!

DJeXeL Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Excellent report! Good luck to the park with all those Huss attractions. Getting spare parts (As well as support in general) from them is a nightmare. KBF can attest to that in their dealing with them regarding Riptide. LL:DOD (Assuming Z:DOD as well) has this same system installed on its catch cars. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh51 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Holy Huss! You'd think they'd be able to get parts for Topspin since they pretty much own half the Huss catalogue. I really like the look of that SLC much better than the standard model, though it looks slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 You can tell they know what Americans want, the menu was in English and more than half of the items were fried Beautiful park though, that castle is stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slalom Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 ON Friday 20 March 2015. I came back to the park again for joining 'Big Holiday 2015' opening ceremony. Here's an update! *All of the footages are filming with permission from the park. The way to the main entrance. I'm arrived at 9 a.m.- one hour before park open. At 10 a.m. park open. After strom on yesterday. Today was cloudy . The new souvenir shop was construct along the pleasure street. First rides of the day with Takeoff. The one of two Huss Take Off park version that I've seen. Really fun! Vortex. Nerd Shot! This is SLC silent anti-rollback. Africa adventure. They has some update. They has new thai narrator audio on-board on the boat. Dinotopia also update too! In the dark hall is brighter than before and all of trigger sensors are activated! After Dinotopia, I moved to water park to join the event. The lazy river with new paint. Speed Slide- 7 storeys Slide. Super spiral. And the wave pool which is World's Largest wave pool. They also use their own wave generator that used four linkage bar to push 10 tons metal plate in to the water every 10 second. (This image is the narrow beach of the wave pool) After the event I came back to amusementpark again. Start with Mega Dance. Twin dragon Giant Drop Balloon Race Condor Tagada Disco - today the operator operated in the automatic mode which is short ride cycle and bounce softer. View from the top of Condor that gave me a great view of the front part of the park. Top spin and Aladdin has a good news that the spare parts from Huss are ARRIVED! Log Flume from the lift side. Boomerang. The park converted Boomerang sign to park maps. The final rides of the day with the park newest attraction- The Ranger (Thai:วาฬเหาะ Eng: Flying whale) The ride look really nice. But they are undertesting. So they controling in manual mode with 4 flips along 3 minutes ride cycle. Inside the whale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_j8b-HogaM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mtlzcvc2ig Take off before park closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Excellent report! Good luck to the park with all those Huss attractions. Getting spare parts (As well as support in general) from them is a nightmare. KBF can attest to that in their dealing with them regarding Riptide. If it's anything to do with a Gearbox and/or Large Bearing, it's that way for Every Ride Manufacturer, as China has complete control of the Large Bearing Market and they keep production low to keep the prices up. It took 9 Months for Lagoon to get their Rebuilt Gearboxes back from Mondial for Cliffhanger (2) and Samurai in separate years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
