    Samurai is being reported as closed at present on the app & online, along with Zodiac which I'm surprised as lasted as long as it has to be honest...
  2. The fact it's every Tuesday & Wednesday for three weeks says to me that it's a cost cutting exercise in terms of power and staff. They may well coincide those days with FN rehearsals too, that would make sense. Cal is right though, I'm pretty sure there's never been these set in stone closed days for Ghost Train up until now. These September days are historically the quietest time to visit the park - even more so now there's no Oktoberfest as a draw, it's just the lull between Summer Holidays finishing at Fright Night's starting.
  3. We're visiting on 23rd and 24th. Thorpe have obviously decided it's not worth the staff or electricity bill on these off peak days. Monday's can be busier as people have a long weekend, evidently.
  4. Hope this is OK to discuss here on the Stealth thread on the Thorpe Park Mania forum but Stealth is down again from today until Friday for more scheduled maintenance... Please stay with us Sweet Prince xox
  5. So - no new maze (not that one was necessarily anticipated...) A new scarezone. Creature Campus show gets a retheme.

    No Russ, no Tidal Wave flame effect 😥

    "Lands" at Thorpe is a cyclical process, they get removed and re-added every 3-5 years 😁 I know it's peak season but some of those queue times yesterday were horrific - Hyperia being ded all day didn't help, but Detty on an hour, Walking Dead on 80-90 minutes, Storm Surge on 80-90 minutes. Stealth, Nemmy and Colossus were all 100+ at one point. Grim. But at least the park is making some money so the Tidal Wave flame effect is instated for 2026.

    She's back to her old ways - yet to open today...
  9. Green bulb replacement
  10. MattyMoo replied to Cal's topic in General Discussion
    First not-too-good day at Thorpe in a while it appears today. Colossus is closed all day, and was yesterday. Nemesis Inferno closed all day. Stealth on one train.

    Credit to DigitialDan on Twitter. I mean, that's one way to fix the screen - put a massive sign in front of it. AI is not the one though, look at those Hyperia wings 🙃

    Noted about the fences covered with plastic sheeting?! Yikes. Think it would have been better left as normal ride fencing...

    Definitely - I wonder if Project Pivot will go ahead for 2026 - and if it does, that's not a draw to get people through the gate. Is there any point to it if there's only going to be one event a year? (this year at least). If it does go ahead... Slammer site flat ride for 2027? If it doesn't go ahead... new flat ride next year? I feel like we're at a bit of crossroads now for the next development - one would assume TWD IP is nearly expired (and it's not relevant anymore anyway)... questions over Ghost Train what with the disappearing shop and merch - then if you get rid of Ghost Train AND TWD you have a massive space - but would they really want to remove a building that'll only be 10 years old next year? Questions over Rumba Rapids, as we all know it costs a lot to run in terms of power and staff... Interesting times. What would be disastrous is attractions are removed/SBNO without anything replacing them, but to be honest - that's the way I think it will head.

    Agree with the above comments (I've never had an annual pass of any type mind you), but I had my visit in April, just about got my ride on Hyperia by heading for it at 10am (as it was the day it valleyed), and managed to go on Stealth front row a number of times (before it died later that week) so I suppose that's a "win" in Merlin terms? I work Monday-Friday and live in Southsea so don't have the luxury of being able to go to Thorpe on a whim and lap Hyperia like some seem to. I guess I won't visit now until September for a quiet day, perhaps - last year I did a 2 day trip (1 night at the Shark) which to be fair was superb value. Other than that, Fright Nights is a rip off so I might finally get myself to SLKSTN UNLOCKED and be able to experience the mazes like the influencers do instead of spending £10 a pop to be batched with 20 people and see 3 actors.
  15. I spy a broken green light again 😜

    Try not to laugh in first 15 seconds challenge: https://youtu.be/0RyqNJamtpE?si=zCpnRAN5XGgW7ZUh
  17. Fingers crossed for a @Parm Pap update soon.
  18. Another morning, another closed Stealth...
  19. As said previously by @JoshC., this is most unlike Stealth having issues like this. Normally it's down for a part, then fine again, and not up down up down (other than going to 205ft and back again obviously)... I'm praying for her and keeping her in my thoughts.
  20. Just spotted. Definitely something very wrong with the proper Queen of Speed this year it appears so far.
  21. Has Stealth died again?! 🫠
  22. Bit like the Tidal Wave fire effect 😁
  23. They definitely don't reply to Tweets etc. as much as they used to, so would make sense.
  24. By the way, bit naughty that the app allows you to buy a one shot fasttrack for Stealth still, and has done all week 🙃
  25. They decided to make an exception for Hyperia last week 😛
