2025: Toxicator - General Discussion

[flyingguitar]

one thing that would help reduce the wear on walls and places such as the wickerman walls is some handles along the wall, when queueing people lean up against the wall, putting something for them to lean up against will prevent them from wearing the paint or the wall.

this would also prevent some vandalism, as the walls wont be wearing and there is some phycological stuff where essentially if the place is already worn people will vandalise it, but if it is perfect people won't

Might come as no surprise, but LMC Design created the logo, branding, animations, etc for Toxicator.

LMC have worked with Merlin for many years now and generally come up with most of their branding and logos for the parks and rides. They even created the latest park map.

Seems a painfully sensible decision for theme park attraction design.

Out Of Reach. The rule parks seem to have forgot.

The answer is simple:

1. Cameras in the underpass and queue.

2. Facial recognition software; criminal identified.

3. Criminal is too tempted by the top spin - boards Toxicator

4. Toxicator cycle continues as normal

5. Cycle continues as normal, but the ride system identifies what seat the criminal is in

6. The ride builds up an intense spinning motion, and at its peak…

7. Restraint mechanism disabled.

Criminal eradicated - successfully transmitted to neighbouring town

Hire me, Merlin

Just need some toxic waste for them to dissolve in upon release, as onlookers commend the excellent theming.

Reminds me of RollerCoaster Tycoon, when you found the perp that vandalised all your benches so you picked them up and dropped them in the water.

best solution is to have a button that can fire actual toxic waste at a designated seat. If someone graffitis on the wall prior to getting on the ride they get a face full of radioactive sludge and have to live the rest of their life with an extra arm. And the worst thing is, they won't be able to buy souvenir t-shirts on park because they're only designed for people with two arms

Sounds like they'd qualify for RAP though. So doesn't help the park much.

Don't think an extra arm should qualify for a RAP. But what it does do is give them an extra hand to do even more graffiti on their return visits. So doesn't help the park much.

Going for my second ride on this, what a fantastic addition. It’s absolutely gigantic looking up at it when you’re stood and n the floor, and eveyone just stands filming it it’s so impressive. Ops on here are fantastic as well

 

[flyingguitar]

eveyone just stands filming it it’s so impressive

I saw this when I was there, there was a ton of people filming it arround, it really is an impresive ride

 

[deathproof69]

I love this ride…it’s a shame that there is already graffiti in the queue line…right by the batches as well…which doesn’t make sense?

 

[Danscott22]

Yeah some of it is really bad I noticed today, “I need a sh*t” written right near the batching area. Initials in hearts as well, it’s been finished off really well but it’s just a shame you’ve got idiots graffitiing on it

 

[Alsty]

Graffiti at parks has been a thing for decades. You'd think Merlin being experts in their field would know about it by now.

 

[The_bup]

Initials in hearts as well

I’ve always wanted my knight in shining armour to scoop me up and then write our names on a… random concrete block..?

 

[GooseOnTheLoose]

random concrete block..?

It's not random. It's a concrete block holding the world's first elevated Top Spin. History is happening right there... Are the initials SS & CS, by chance?

 

[evilcod]

Not sure why but every cycle is running with at least 4 seats empty at each end on both sides. Lucky the park is quiet as capacity is bad for the new ride.

UPDATE: Seemingly only temporary as 15mins later they are fully loading again.

 

[deathproof69]

They seemed to do this first thing when the queue isn’t that busy.

Ah could be a weight thing then maybe.
