It's not moving to Thorpe but I can confirm they are adding it to Dragons Fury to make it double the length

No worries

Eh? This is the HSE improvement notice that the Riderater site is talking about: http://www.hse.gov.uk/notices/notices/Notice_details.asp?SF=CN&SV=307127123 Which state's it's relating to Twinlakes.

http://www.hse.gov.uk/notices/notices/Notice_details.asp?SF=CN&SV=307127123 Here it is. And if you want to look at all amusement/theme park notices: http://www.hse.gov.uk/notices/notices/notice_list.asp?rdoNType=&NT=&SN=F&EO=LIKE&SF=SICD&SV=aMUSEMENT+PARKS&x=0&y=0&ST=N EDIT: http://www.hse.gov.uk/notices/notices/Notice_details.asp?SF=CN&SV=306419423

That's quite possible, yes. More downtime really isn't good, especially during peak season. However, I'm sure these issues are not the fault of Merlin whatsoever and of course lie with the contractors who built the ride, as is normally assumed...

Fishy is down today, that's THREE main attractions down

It does look incredibly close to the SAW track in those photos. Of course we don't know exactly where guests will/won't be able to go.

Archive, think I've said it before but your posts are so spot on.

24 days since Stealthageddon, FYI.

I don't do teacups. Ever.

So that'll probably be never?

I can imagine Thorpe adding extra endings to DBGT and then they can advertise as "Improved for 2017" - "Extra journeys for 2017" etc... Or, just make it go backwards if it doesn't perform well.

Yep - the word "hope" is very important there...

This photo was taken after our last ride at MoS night, and Stealth has not worked since. I did mislay my Amity Kebab and the remains of a Stella Cidre shortly before our rides but I swear this is not connected with any ride availability.

^ This. My heartfelt opinion is that Loggers is never coming back...

Just to butt in and say - S6s aren't waterproof, but S7s are... so probably a better decision using those

I unfortunately can't make this now - due to a change of plans I need to be at home

One would assume down time is due to the heat again?

I think they've mistakenly put up crow's feet instead of vines

Strange looking vines

SLAMMER WILL NOT BE SLAIN.

Just watched TowersStreet's video... I don't recall seeing the "Breaking News" rolling footage when on the train? If I did, that would have perhaps made it all make a bit more sense

I would imagine just the summer peak and then perhaps reopen for Fright Nights? The bar wasn't busy when I used it on Saturday afternoon.

Hmmm the old man may have been drunk - but it was too quiet to tell! After he disappeared/got off an older lady appeared/lunged at me!

I forget how much I love Slammer until I ride it - definitely a ride to do at the start of the day before you get too fatigued! Awesome stuff.
