[monkeyboy27476]

"Sound is a little crackley due to volume spikes" LOL, it's because it's too loud for the mic to pick up!!

[darknmystic]

remember the lads riding the cars in the foot well where the punters put there feet

[spartandan118]

In frame 1:50 Both my fave rides are in the picture (the Orbitrt and the Freak out)

[LukeXgamer]

No, it's Billy's.

[DanzibarDrums]

@LukeXgamer It is William's. Well, not anymore. He has sold it and bought a new Extreme. Search for William Danter's extreme to see it.

[LukeXgamer]

@DanzibarDrums The new Extreme belongs to Edward Danter now..

[DanzibarDrums]

@LukeXgamer Not true I'm afraid. Edward Danter has ordered his own PWS Extreme, which he has not yet taken delivery of. William Danter received his new Tivoli Extreme last week.

[LukeXgamer]

@DanzibarDrums Oh I thought only one was getting an Extreme.

[LukeXgamer]

This isn't William's. It's Billy's.

[DanzibarDrums]

It's William's.

[Garyholc]

[MichealJones1504]

[Maxsdiscos]

Hi,

How many cameras / camera angles did you use whilst filming?

[bolt68yt]

there were no jingles on this ride

[wa1tz3r]

yes there was

[245thegreat]

don't get disco smash because there's no such thing, it's called ds sound now, common keep up oldies :D

Disco smash are very loud and powerful but if you want more quality which will be better in the long run go for Hofman as featured on Jason Grays' XLR8 booster and Joey Silcocks Speedflip.

I this ride at the moment needs some TLC, and updating. My ideas would be to rig it out with brand new LED par cans, and some Galaxy 2000 strobes. Then change the Orbiter & Danter logos to all LED, on an auto program. Kit the speakers with brand new JBL or Disco Smash speakers, 4 bass cab's & 4 top speakers, and change the lights on the car's to LED's. I think those changes would make this one the best orbiters.

[adzp08]

Hoorar! Thanks for that! Nice to know the ride's getting much needed TLC, not that it's in a bad condition, it's one of the nicest around if you ask me, although, I'm an avid fan of remix's/extremes myself, can't beat Gill's Remix!

[tidgytod]

i agree bout remix butttt it needs new backflash artwork like parrishes or crows

[WhizzinWaltzer]

A jolly good video of a fantastic colourful Orbiter, thanks to David Wragg! :) I tried to video it, using my mobile, when riding on it at Tewkesbury Mop but unfortunately my mobile wasn't good enough... not like using a camera.:(

[245thegreat]

it's still a generally nice orbiter but it's seen better days, there are a few things that need changing.. the speakers and strobes being 2 of them.

[adzp08]

I do have to agree with you there, the speakers seem a little "dead" if you ask me. Also the strobes are extremely out of timing, they're supposed to be really fast, but they seem slow

[wa1tz3r]

still better then that orbiter u like ey harrison lmao

[adzp08]

Oh that's harsh! Nothing wrong with Hammond's Orbiter, originality is always best ;)

[245thegreat]

not in a million years

[LukeXgamer]

better than hammonds orbiter

[bolt68yt]

thanks for the song

[adzp08]

Incredible! What an absolutely incredible atmosphere. It's a shame the sound's not so good, maybe some problem's with the speakers or Mikey had it on too loud.

Also noticed, only 1 of the strobes was working, anything wrong with them?

Yet another brilliant video David!

[bolt68yt]

what is song at 00:7secs thanks and i love the camera angles a nother good video

[adzp08]

The song is "Flip 'n' Fill - Shooting Star"

[m4ttg]

Flip N Fill - Shooting Star
