    As above :D. Battle galleons is only for sunny days but tbh i dont bother with it anyway as the cannons dont work that good and ends up boring.The flume cannons were the best at firing water but now they gone.Used to spend a good 2 quid on them on a busy day soaking flumers as they passed...

    lol i was only joking about cannons in the queue line hence the big grin!:D...I dont mind getting a little bit wet on the flume or rapids even at scarefest during the night, as you never get too soaked and soon dry off which is half the fun!.On the other hand if u got proper drenched like on...

    Hex - If and when will it return

    All i noticed was Hex music out of all that, maybe i got lucky with the loop.Yep its the fireworks version of the hex theme and i reckon its alot better than the ride version! Im missing hex and welcomed the audio around the park etc which worked well with hex being closed and im sure im not the...

    Hex - If and when will it return

    Hex will be back quite soon imo.Last time i went towers, Hex music was playing all over the monorail & park which means they know we are missing it and want us to feel its still there in the park with us whilst they spruce it up.Quite a nifty trick!

    To replace the flume i would like to see a wooden style coaster similar to rmt but it goes through long tunnel sections maybe one with a chainlift section halfway through that corporate water,lighting effects with a unique western theme to it!.Fit in mutiny bay well i reckon. Either way towers...

    Extra Safety Procedure on rides!

    Very good point about the sports strap being sold at towers.They could have alton towers written on em which would sell alot i reckon as alot of young uns these days wear specs just for fashion unlike years ago.

    Extra Safety Procedure on rides!

    I dont do twitter etc but ill ask my lad to contact em.I think there must ov been an incident regarding someones specs on 13 hence the overkill. Best to get a sports strap when u go towers in future if u wear glasses and dont want to remove em as this procedure could catch on with other rides.I...

    Galactica: General Discussion

    Extra Safety Procedure on rides!

Luckily this time i already turned up with a sports strap as i nearly lost em on nemisis last time and...

    Quick Questions

    Since you mention spinball ive had the same with that aswell, clicks into place at the top of the first turn at the top of the chainlift just like it was halfway locked then fully locked after the force of the turn. Maybe i leave a slight gap when the restraints are checked then when im thrown...

    Quick Questions

    You can have the restraints on air half way between clicks when u pull them down and when force is applied it goes to the higher or lower lock usually on the roll section when it straightens back up. Im sure this has happened to others?
