OleShawn Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I rode it Saturday and the fire was working. I remember because my sunburn let me know that the fire was not a good thing lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvestmanMan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 A quick question - where were the water effects on Adventure Express? Must've been before my time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 A quick question - where were the water effects on Adventure Express? Must've been before my time... Like many of the rides in the era, mostly fog effects. Constantly being surrounded in misty water apparently doesn't bode well for certain fabrication styles... Adventure Express: Fog in valleys and tunnels, idol standing over final lift hill poured mist / water onto train as it passed. Top Gun: Mist along the track in the station to imitate jet carrier conditions. Tomb Raider: Mist, fog, fountain spray Backlot Stunt Coaster: Splash down pool, fog Diamondback: Splash down pool Banshee: Fog They just never learn... Literally. At least B&M track seems to stand up constant dousing in a way that the rest apparently didn't think to prepare for. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wonder if preventative Maintenon would have helped keep the effects longer or if it just really tore up the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Preventative maintenance in this case probably would've been repainting the track every few months. It would've been smarter to have just ensured that the track was designed to be practically submerged in water to begin with. Supposedly Paramount Parks opted NOT to weatherproof Tomb Raider: The Ride since it was going to be indoors anyway. Nevermind that they created a sub-tropical environment of fog, mist, running water, artificial dried cool air, and artificial hot air inside the building. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 A few cans of that "spray on water-proof" would of done them some wonders! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
