Thunderbirds

Thunderbirds Premiered On ITV In 1964. Like Most Gery Anderson Shows, It Featured Puppets. In 1994, RG Mitchell Released 2 Thunderbirds Rides. Both Rides Have a Custom Start Message (The Thunderbirds Countdown) Followed By An Updated "Press Start Now" Voice) And Play The Orignal Thunderbirds Theme Tune (Complete With Voiceover). When Jolly Roger re-made the Thunderbird 1 and Thunderbird 2 rides in 2006, a custom start message (The Thunderbirds Countdown) would follow the announcement says "Hold On Tight! Here We Go!" as seen on Hold on Messages and unlike the previous Mitchells (R.G. Mitchell) rides, an Updated "Press Start Now" Voice is absent.
