Basically what we expected, an the projection room music's probably broken.

I think the projector's room music has been deliberately turned off due to the nature of how it sounds. For those that remember it, there were phrases like "Time to get corrected" or "You are now embarking on an optical procedure, part of the correctional process" as well as other sound effects. These were played every minute or so from what I can remember.

I would imagine the horror screams have been edited out of the main theme music too

One of the reports asked for my opinion after I came off the smiler I told him where to F off lol

It's on 3 trains, expecting a 4th around April.

There was a reporter doing a piece to camera. On the 4th go, she got a take without someone pratting around behind her, swearing loudly or both.

The BBC have uploaded some footage of the ride and interviews with attendees from earlier today.

I wonder why they took the logos off the front of the trains.

No idea, but I know that the point in which the logos were on the train, was the same place the victims had amputations. Hope they come back.

What happened to half way corrected? And that audio was glitchy as hell. Still, so good to get on it again

I've just read that utter crud that rag has thrown together, talk about media on the cheap, trawling twitter and instagram for a story, what a bunch of losers

Do they not realise how creepy and ominous it sounds like that?! Lol

 

[Slugjc]

I think we can all be glad it opened no clitch. We can all draw a vale over the incident. let them have a day in court. Let the mirror sell its rag, let merlin continue as normal.

Got 2 rides on it today one on front row was absolutely buzzing.
So happy it's reopened the media waiting outside the shop exit and also outside theme park entrance was funny and the appearance of the news chopper as we came off the first time was hilarious.
I'm sure towers absolutely loved all the free publicity it has brought them today
