Stormforce 10

The one thing I'd love to see with stormforce 10 is if they were able to add a little video to the digital photo like they do on Gold Rush and Accelerator, the backwards drpp or the big double drop at the end would be amazing to see that way

:D:D
 
Went today and this and Rapids was down all day, planks missing from Rapids travelator and put to side, well with what i could see from Wave que

I heard there a major problem with the backwards turntable and that’s why there’s a boat stuck in there

Only a month into the season and the paint starting to come off

Its looking great, I think the green paint peeling off is always going to be a problem Water destroys anything, more of that Ivy and bush pattern round the entire thing would look better

There was one stuck there yday too if these were taken today? One at bottom the lift of the final drop, and 2 on the lift back in, when arriving they must of been turning it off because water was coming down the 3rd drop just more of a thin steady flow than the force it normally has
 
Didn't get a photo but there's new screens in the station, showing safety instructions etc, Not too intrusive on the theming. Fisherman in the queue is in a different position than a few weeks ago so he's been moving. no audio in the queue either. Sending the boats out relatively quickly.
 

Some of Stormforce 10s audio is back working, including the queue background audio, radios, and the station! These probably haven't been heard in over 10 years!
 
A few Stormforce 10 photos from its construction in 1998/1999!

I recently came across a large amount of construction photos for Stormforce 10… Keep an eye out on the Drayton Manor Archive for some more!

A long gone effect has returned recently (I think?). If anyone here can recall, there used to be a rotating light at the top of the lighthouse, which would give off the look of a beacon. This effect didn't last long, but has recently been brought back!!

Managed to snap a couple of photos when it got dark!

Now if only they showed this amount of attention to detail and care on another 90s heavily themed attraction... *looks at The Haunting*

I hope there restore a lot of StormForce 10 effects in particular animatronic on first drop and the sirens and smoke effects on the turntable
