Hey guys. I just want to let you know, idk how major it is but there is a problem with th13teen ATM. It was broken down most of Thursday and then broke down at the end of yesterday. This morning, we were allowed to queue from 9-12 and weren't told it wasn't going to be open at 10 until half past 10. It never opened. Luckily I got on it yesterday, and was only going to Alton today to try and get on it again. A mechanic came out with his like boots covered in oil and told us that there was a leak with the oil that they had fixed the leak, replaced the oil & were just warming it up. He then went on to say that they were going to test it with the water dummies which did go ahead and actually looked like the ride was running well. We were also told that it's something to do with the hydraulic system. Then, staff came round & told us it would be open very soon and everything was looking good. By this time there was about a 2 hour queue, queueing to get in to the thirteen queue line! They then got rid of most of the queue and told us that the mechanics were on the phone to intamin in Switzerland and that it was unlikely that thirteen would be open today. We were given exit passes though . Sorry if this post isn't paragraphed but I'm posting from my phone.On a plus side, the actors dressed up in the hooded cloak things (idk what they're called) were very funny and helped to pass the time as did the people on stilts. They were fantastic. Thirteen is an amazing ride in my opinion but I thought it was quite short .Also if anyone does know what's wrong with it, I would love to find out so please do let me know .
