With
it's tone and content aimed at a market younger than Thorpe Park's
main target audience, and having been in the park for almost a
decade it wasn't that great a surprise to see Pirates 4D updated
with a new film. This does create some problems as the theming of
the building doesn't in any way match the contents of the film. This
is a flaw, but it's not one that detracts from the ride too much, as
your focus is on the film itself.
The name Time Voyagers
created an image of a ride themed around time travelling. It turned
out this isn't the case, it's about a trip on a space trip,
exploring a mysterious structure that's been discovered. It's a
pretty basic plot, with much of it being mainly to allow for some of
the special effects to be used. There's some light humour, and just
about enough going on to keep your interest up, but it never ranks
as more than an average film.
Overall it's an O.K.
ride, but I still found it disappointing. I think part of this has
to do with the fact it's set up as a show, with you having to turn
up at a specific time, rather than playing throughout the day, with
you able to join the queue at any time. For this to work it needs to
offer more than an average film that only lasts around 5 minutes. I
really did expect more than this. I think it is still worth a go if
you haven't tried it before, but it's not one I'd go out of my
way for to try again. |
