2025: Toxicator - General Discussion

I'm not sure if this has been pointed out but this has a "boot up" sequence in the morning when it opens and a "shut down" one when it closes at ride close. I've not seen the morning one but the closing one displays "goodnight Nemesis" in the silos
 
I was (and still remain) a little confused about the queuing set up perhaps someone can help me wrap my head around it...

So you've got the main queue line of course, going underneath the sign and around the back into the cattlepen

Today we went on a temporary extended queue line journey towards the skyride and then back again, before going up a set of stairs into the cattlepen

What are the stairs going to be when the temporary queue line is removed?
 
Does anybody know whether the water fountains on Toxicator were responsible for today's leak?

My gut feeling was that perhaps the drains can't handle the additional load, but then I remember that Ripsaw was previously there, and had roughly the same amount of water (if not more) ?

Unless the drains have fallen into disrepair since Ripsaw closed?

Surely the fountains are just recycling the water already in the trough? Their operation wouldn’t be having any impact on the drains?

Of course not. They’ve been testing these fountains for weeks, this wouldn’t have suddenly started now, and as pointed out above the water is recirculated
 
That’s almost certainly a foul water drain that’s overflowing; nothing to do with the fountains which are a self-contained, recycled system.

There’s likely one of two things that has happened. Either the drain run was rebuilt as part of the works and it has a defect causing a blockage or the weight of construction activities has caused the drain to collapse. This is the first time since completion that the foul water drain run in that area will have had any serious use. Said use has clearly highlighted the issue, causing the overflow.

I’m guessing they’ll be putting come cctv down there to establish the issue and then it might be the case that they need to excavate locally to remediate.

I'd assume those stairs are an emergency exit in case of a queue evac.
 
I must say fair play to the team for sorting the drainage issue out so quickly yesterday.

It’s certainly a night time ride as it looks fantastic in the dark.
It seems to have a slightly tamer cycle than Talocan, which I was thankful for as I found that a bit too much.
