Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The Water was shut off because of rust Uh, what? I specifically recall walking around with Boddah1994 in August photographing the "splashdown" and riding on media night for HH in October and get sprayed with water on the warehouse scene. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The splash down effect always worked, but in the Hillicopter scean it never worked.... Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Oh really? The helicopter scene often functioned flawlessly, in my experience.... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 The helicopter and the water worked fine every time i rode it as well. I am talking about the "Splash Down" effect when you break through the billboard. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Yea the splash down effect was always working no matter what wasnt...cough cough ADUIO cough cough........it never got me wet though...I was kindsa sad about that.... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Yea the splash down effect was always working no matter what wasnt...cough cough ADUIO cough cough........it never got me wet though...I was kindsa sad about that.... I rode 4 times in the summer of 2006 and it didn't work any of those times. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Well then must have been youre luck... I do hope they fix Audio and of course the Lights that are sposed to come on in the tunnle.....That never worked....or did they scrap that idea? Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I like the fact that it is pitch black in the tunnels. It gives you that out of control feeling. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Ya you know people say "Hey did you know it goes up side down in the tunnle?" I say no theres not then they get ****ed.....The other thing that makes me mad is when they call the Heilx a Corkscrew....Im like are you kidding me? Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I remeber the lights working at one point in time. The fish tailing never worked or at lease I never noticed it. Quote

Haha did you correct that person who made that mistake? Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I was like no no this is a Helix.....Its a He-li-x.....the bad part was she worked there.......It doesnt even look like a corkscrew...I pointed over to Vortex and said...."Thats a Corkscrew.... " then they usally go ... " Your point?" Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah, she probably thought the coaster was constructed on footers, too.... Quote

The lights worked once, maybe KI will restore nostalgia to that ride this year too... Quote
Captain Nemo Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Corkscrew, Helix, It is all just track to me! Oh, And that made me smile Interp. Quote
Tuskin Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Or perhaps cement blocks haha footers might be to big of a word for her j/k Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I've only ridden BLSC 2 or 3 times, and the audio only worked the 1st time. To be honest, I thought the audio was very cheesy, and I prefer the ride without it. I never really cared for the "behind the scenes/movie production" stuff that Paramount tried to do, like that awful Sound Effects show they had one year in PT. Universal and Disney Hollywood Studios pull that stuff off better IMO. Quote

westcoaster Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Yes the coaster is great without all the effects it was just a stage under previous ownership the park went for, but its still a great lil ooaster: Quote

Lets see, that means we should have in car audio, headlights, fishtailing, and stair effects in the year 2030 or so. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Lol I mean I think that if they wanted it to work like it was "Avratised" then they would have every thing working.... Quote
catzdrummer09 Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 I rode the coaster 2 times opening week and all the effects worked. Headlights, taillights, audio, fishtailing,flames, water, the chopper had some glitches but worked once....didn't notice the infamous stair effect though. However, wasn't the ride advertised with lasers and such in the tunnels...at least that was what I remember seeing in the animated teaser photo....however I could be wrong...anyone know? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 The fishtailing effect is still on the trains. (It at least was at Bare Bones night last year. ZosoBeast and myself got some rare walk on rides to Backlot Stunt Coaster on Bare Bones Nights! In fact we got back to back rides where we were the only two people in the train!) The fishtailing effect is hard to pick up. It is usually most noticable right before the 90 degree turn near the Dodgems. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 What is the Fishtailing effct sposed to be? Quote
vortexfan Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 What is the Fishtailing effct sposed to be? Working. Quote
