Swarm didn't open until the afternoon today. Effects were a bit meh, although I did see the fire go once and the LED's were on and the splash effect eventually working. It was an one train operation all day.
-
This morning was a nightmare for Thorpe with Swarm not opening til the afternoon, Saw having a few breakdowns, Nemesis having a breakdown and Vortex unable to stop itself. In the afternoon reliability was good though. Off Topic: It was EMPTY there today. I only get the chance to go once or twice a year but it shocked me how empty it was. Managed Swarm and Nemesis Inferno 7 times, Stealth 6 times, Colossus 4 times, and Saw 5 times!
-
Was at Thorpe today, nothing has changed (so it seems) since my last visit two weeks ago.
-
Saw is absolutely fine for me. I really don't see what people moan about. Completely understand about the moans about Colossus. That ride is just getting stupidly rough now.
-
Colossus will be open tomorrow (From Facebook): THORPE PARK Official Hi guys, yes Colossus should be back up and running tomorrow!
-
I like samurai, I'm glad their not selling it
I never thought they were going to get rid of it completely, just sell that model and get a new one.
-
I think most people who go into NWO think WTF was that all about
And think its pretty sh**
-
Ah OK, my bad. Just thought this could mean they were going to buy a new model.
-
Just found something very interesting on ridetraders.com. If the photos are the same as the item for sale, then Thorpe Park are selling Samurai! You need to search for it yourselves as it only appears as a search result. Go to Used Rides > Mondial and then its the first item for sale.
-
Inferno on the back row is just the as good as Nemesis in my opinion. Must of been as it was raining but it was really forceful last week.
Anyway, when was the last time the mist was working anywhere on this ride?
-
The only worry I would have for you is Colossus, thats quite a tight squeeze sometimes.
-
This must be the worst year for breakdowns for ages.

It definitely was on there a few days ago as the scrolling message was saying.
"Samurai is currently unavailable... Samurai is currently out of action..."
No it hasn't! Since they've had it on Slammer page, they took it off the homepage scroller. You must be thinking about the Stealth message. Slammer hasn't been on the scroller for months now.

TPM on Twitter: Retweet if you can't wait to get back on SLAMMER! It's testing at the moment guys!
#thorpepark -
TPM have posted this on the Facebook but not the forum, um okay.
Equally. SLAMMER IS NO LONGER ADVERTISED AS CLOSED ON THE WEBSITE HOMEPAGE. But it is still advertised as closed on the Slammer page
Looks like even I was wrong. Which shocks me.
It hasn't been advertised on the homepage for ages!
-
Stealth reopened around midday today.
Finally! Shame it wasn't open on Monday!
-
Does anyone know info on when Stealth will be back up? I'm going on Saturday or could be Sunday, anyone know?
I wouldn't get my hopes up. I was there Monday, no work was being done to any of the closed rides.
-
Anyone at the park today? If so, was any work being done to Stealth?
-
Ouch! Total loss of water supply?? Surprised they were allowed to open!
Bad news about Samurai and Slammer... Hopefully they'll cut capacity accordingly for fright nights etc! Or bring in something temporarily?
Just got back home. Left the back at 4 as I was dying to use the loo! The water supply must of burst around 3 o'clock so thats why they were open!
It looked like absolutely nothing was being done to Stealth all day, and definitely nothing was done to Samurai or Slammer. Colossus broke down for a little while, as did Tidal Wave (as it always does!).
Thorpe Park really do need to sort out this 1 train in operation. 40min queues for Colossus and Swarm and there's absolutely no need for it.
-
-
On park now, slammer, stealth, and samurai still all closed. All toilets aren't working so all food outlets are closed and there giving away free tickets if you leave early. Swarm and Colossus on 1 train operation all day!!
-
I still haven't been on the ride...
My (spectator) opinion: Firstly it looks like absolute junk. Secondly it wastes water leaking everywhere. Thirdly it hurts my ears with its constant squeaking. It blocks the view of X and makes the space feel cramped & cluttered. The boats appear to hardly spin any more. I refuse to sit in a boat with feet on floor if it's an inch + deep with water. The queue is always massive for a 30 second ride (after sloooow lift).
Why would you want a view of X? Now that's the worst ride in the park and needs to go before Storm Surge.
-
Good to know. Anybody know what's going on with Stealth? Taking my brother who hasn't been since 2002, so really wants to know what Stealth is like!

It's probably been asked before, but is the countdown timer in the console for? It had 24+ hours on there yesterday.
