Re: [The Smiler] Construction Updates and Ride Speculation Part 2
Is that sarcasm? We need a sarcasm smiley, quick! If it wasn't...
What were you expecting? Laughing gas? Mustard gas? Phencyclidine?
Even if the budget was extended, you were never getting ANY better than theatrical smoke machines. Even disney wouldn't have exceeded that. :twirly:

It's a small amount of water but under high pressure, giving a quite a pointed jet effect, but the amount of water being released isn't comparable to a water jet. Mist will be suspended in the air for some time so if they are activated before the train passes through you'll just get a brief feeling of damp really.

I would wager on it releasing at the least a gallon of water each time the three needles go off. It is a considerable amount of water and would more than dampen the rider. It would soak them and probably give them a pressure blister ;D

You mean to say a park that is that conscious and afraid of H&S they felt the need to erect a shoddy looking piece of scaffolding to protect its guests from nothing would knowingly build something that could actually cause serious harm?
I don't think they would

I think this debate has gone beyond reasonable sense now. It's all about water droplet size, and I've seen them for myself. There will be no agonising pain and no accumulations of water requiring animals to pair up and board a wooden ship.

Forgive me, but that makes zero sense to me.
Edit: I don't think you were addressing me, sorry.

Ahhh, you see this here: ;D, was intended to indicate the jesting nature of the last part of the comment.
It would be mad to think this would be a reality, pressure blisters? lol.
However, the jets could provide a level of discomfort inline with Nemesis in bad weather. And if that is the situation for EVERY ride, that, like DiogoJ42 has pointed out, would seriously effect the ability or desire to re-ride.

The size of the water droplets you get from virtually any type of rain are much larger than what this produces. It's primarily the size of the water droplet that determines the impact force again your skin.

The mist is not all going to conveniently flow in the right direction before it evaporates: it's mist. I think it looks fine softly smoking away. It gives the impression the gas is leaking out and is generally around - it doesn't have to be a big thick layer of the stuff.

This really just needs to open before we get deeper into a H&S centred debate about the size of droplets.

Oh dear... who thought water could cause so much debate!
It's quite obvious this will not directly hit you as you ride it. It's all about messing with your mind. You will go quickly through that section of the ride, seeing these fast moving jets of water right in front of you. Jets go off just as you pass under them, you still get wet, job done!
That amount of water hitting you directly would soak you. So I think it's clear it's designed to be an effect that messes with your senses a bit.
