Space Invader v.s BlackholeI always loved the Blackholes first drop and spiral lift so I'm going for that. Blackhole was also much more of a thrill!!! |
||
| oz boy |
are they any different? | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Lots! Black Hole is a Jet Star 2 and Space Invader is a 4 man bobs. | ||
| Guest |
Black hole any day. Even though I have never ridden it. Anything has to be better than Space Invader 2 | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Space Invaders not that bad. But Blackhole was defiantly better! | ||
| Guest |
Space Invader is awful. i have been on better kids rides. Plus, the queue times are awful. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Well the ride is classed as a Kiddie coaster. It was built by Zierer so...
Also go on www.rcdb.com and look up 4 man bobs, then you'll be able to see what it looks like outdoors. |
||
| Guest |
Neer heard of Zierer. Maybe they've gone bankrupt. lol | ||
| Mr. Splash |
No, no they've made many coasters. Things like Ladybird rides and the treetop twister at Oakwood is built by Zierer | ||
| Guest |
Wow. I am surprised they're still going, if they build coasters like Space Invader. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Well according to you they have made a good coaster as its on your Top 10 list as Treetop Twister. | ||
| Guest |
That is good. I would love to ride a Big Apple | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Big Apples are Pinfari coasters | ||
| Guest |
I know. Anyway, back on topic. What is happening with Black Hole. Does anyone know? I know it is SBNO at the moment. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Blackholes gone for good. The ride even had a farewell part 
|
||
| Guest |
Ah. The tent is still there though. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
I think the rides track is still in there too, just unmaintained
|
||
| Guest |
Lets hope we see a new ride.
I wish Space Invader would go at PBB. There are many good rides that could be placed there. |
||
| Mr. Splash |
Well I think Space Invader consumes so much of Blackpools queues that its probably worth it being there. 
|
||
| Guest |
The reason is, it keeps breaking down. When I went on it last time, I had to wait like half an hour, and they were saying that it kept breaking. | ||
| oz boy |
You bagging Kidde Coasters! 
|
||
| Guest |
I am just proving a point about how awful Space Invader is. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Coasters don't have to be thrilling to be enjoyable. I mean why else would we like Mine Trains 
|
||
| Guest |
Well, Space Invader isn't thrilling or enjoyable. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
I think its quite a funny ride. Anyway you think Space Invader breaks down. Blackhole couldn't go more than an hour without over heating! | ||
| Guest |
Maybe that's why they removed it. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Yeah they removed it cause they couldn't be bothered to maintain it
|
||
| Guest |
Just shows how lazy office people are. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Nah the ride had lived its time, and although it was sad it couldn't have gone on for another 10 years. | ||
| Guest |
I suppose everything has to go sometime. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Please don't post back just to agree with things, make an interesting reply. Also this ride was so easy to use the manual was 3 pages long
|
||
| Guest |
How do you know about the manual? | ||
| Mr. Splash |
There was an audio recording of the Blackholes closing party, and a maintenance manager did a speech on the rides mechanics. | ||
| Guest |
Cool. I would have liked to have ridden it. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Yeah and on the last night they got the ride it with the lights on! I think Space Invader would be even more pathetic in the light! | ||
| Guest |
Could Space Invader get any more pathetic? | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Look Space Invader is a great kiddie coaster so stop knocking it! Anyway Blackhole wasn't the most thrilling of all, but it wasn't a kiddie coaster. | ||
| Guest |
I want stop knocking Space Invader, until the day, the rides is demolished and burned. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Well like I say 2 hours worth of queues are dissolved into this ride. Blackhole has a similar effect. I think they're both good rides and I'm just gonna leave it at that. | ||
| Guest |
I don't see why Space Invader is so popular. For what it is. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Because believe it or not people like family rides, and you can't see what the rides like from the outside. | ||
| Guest |
Really, they are tricking you. | ||
| Mr. Splash |
Anyway when it all comes down to it you can't say if Blackhole was better or not cause you've never ridden it. | ||
| Guest |
True. But come on. Anything is better than Space Invader. | ||
| luke_manc |
Space Invader is neither a kiddie coaster nor pathetic:
Xtra, you're just calling it pathetic as a fact but it's not, it's your opinion so stop trying to force it down our throats. |
||
| Mr. Splash |
Yeah thats a point Xtra has a kiddie coaster on his Top Ten??? | ||
