Ah I rode it at around half 7ish, there was certainly a lot more than 4 full swings though.
-
Saw engineers working on it in the morning so wasn't expecting it to open, so was happy to see it open later. Possibly the best ride I've had on Vortex, like said reaching maximum height very quickly. Cycle didn't seem any shorter to me, if anything it felt longer?
-
2nd time this year it dies the day before I go So this leaves 4 rides unavailable now, Samurai Vortex Tidal Wave and this. Not good.
-
No. Neither of them have been operating for ages.
-
Have you seen any work/testing on Vortex or Samurai the last 2 days?
-
Any update on wether containment has been working tonight?
-
The Colossus audio sounds awful... https://www.facebook.com/thorpeparkmania/videos/vb.283706330623/10156204252015624/?type=3&theater

Thats not great to hear, why not?
-
Agreed, it has run very well this season. Also, all scaffolding has been removed now. (Image from UK theme parks) Hopefully it'll open this weekend!
-
Samurai is back together again! (Image from UK theme parks) Could it open this weekend?
-
Yay, Vortex seems to run really well after it's been closed a while as well! Hoping it'll be ready for Sunday
-
Thanks Lew, is Vortex still covered in scaffolding?
-
She has indeed, hopefully it'll make it to the end of the season again!
-
Glad the park music has changed for Fright Nights this year, I loved some of the older stuff. Can't wait to hear it.
-
Went the same day last year and all rides were walk on from 6, and mazes were around half an hour. It was raining all night though so will probably be slightly busier this year
-
That track looks gorgeous
-
I'm there the 11th. Can't wait. Hopefully it won't be tipping it down all night like last year.
-
Don't know if this was aimed at me, or a joke or whatever. The fact Vortex is closed hasn't put me off visiting at all, I just thought that it was worth mentioning that it won't be available for at the least the first few nights of Fright Nights.
-
That new box now has a padlock over it, so I doubt it'll constantly be in use. My bet is that when it breaks down, the ride will need to be reset from that box to confirm the track has been looked at? Can't think of what else it could be.
-
Haven't seen Vortex with this amount of scaffolding before, looks like we won't be riding it in the dark this weekend (Image from theme park incorporated)
-
Only just started being constructed or nearly completed?
-
I did Altons mazes in 2012 and only really enjoyed COF, thought the mazes were no where near as intense as Thorpes are. Odd but there must be a reason for it.
-
This picture shows the water effect as well...
-
What season did the water tower actually stop working? And does anyone know why, was it just that it broke or it just stopped when the fire effect stopped?
