Or you could just ride it first thing in the morning?

I fully agree with Mark, as I am a Thorpe fanboy, no denying it...yet I think the time has come to invest a little more in Family rides.The reason for this is that even if Thorpe don't know it, it would be a huge boost to their attendance figures. The park is currentely attracting thrill seekers left, right and centre. Sure it's good for the park, as it's their target market now, but the families are disappearing rapidly, which may explain why Chessington has been half the time getting higher attendances than Thorpe, especially in the Easter Period.What I think, is that one or two family friendly rides, enjoyable for all ages (very much like Battle Galleons), would make such a massive difference. Next Years coaster, which would cost much more than a family ride, isn't really going to attract extra thousands all the time next year, as most thrill seekers already go there, and this coaster isn't going to make a huge difference to attendances, just a little one. However two family rides, and families would start spilling into Thorpe once more like they used to, what with much more on offer.So what with all of Thorpe Park's thrill rides attracting in the thrill seekers, and then those family friendly rides attracting in the families once more, we would be making more of an even split of who is coming to Thorpe, which would be making a huge difference, and what would be bring in the extra thousands, rather than just thrill ride after thrill ride after thrill ride. And to back up my point? Noticed how at Chessington more chavs have come this year? I think personally, they've become bored of thorpe's current line-up, and yes next years coaster is something new, but that one ride cannot make a person visit just for that, like Stealth was doing back in 2006. Just what I came to imagine anyway.

The 13th. Though no one really knows whats happening on that day.

I'm pretty sure its been open every day this year...someone correct me if I'm wrong. It was closed last year between July and November due to it needing a new part!So yes it should be open for tomorrow .

But that was yesterday...and this is today .

So you *accidentely* managed to click delete on photobucket and then *accidentely* do it again on your My Photos?

Stealth has been very reliable this year in terms of days closed.

So why was it closed?

It was playing last week =\

How much money do you have?

You can't, PM's have been broken for ages.

Chessingtons staff are great, Thorpes staff are great. Well that's just what I think.

Does everyone regard me as gay now?

Felt more like a bucket being dropped on us. Well, me mainly .

Sunday was fun. Stealthage 3 times, and 2 front rows. Yays. And the queue was moving really fast, the attendants were doing a really great job of keeping the queues to a 45 minute maximum.Colossus didn't hurt, and so was therefore what you call 'fun'. I still havn't ridden Rush this year, and Vortex actually gave me an ok ride. Most of Rumbas effects are now working, including something very, very odd in the tunnel.

Would have been better if it was a bit more open in the morning .

Slammer opened today at 2.30. Rush was shut all day with no activity.

I hope so, I think I'm going then too.

They could have been in the winch room, in the station, or anywhere where Stealth can be controlled or they could have been simply waiting for something. They don't have to be holding a spanner or hammer and hitting something for it to be being fixed.

I'm not sure it was the best idea to put a control box where the GP can go though.

How do you know they weren't fixing Stealth just because you couldn't see anything?

God where's James when you need him!

I went on it 7 times on Thursday. =\
