Happy Birthday Mark9

I'm going to miss listening to loud chart music in the toilets What music is playing, the entrance theme or the music from the new video?

Both of them are now back in operation. I agree about them needing a third major coaster, but where would they put it?

It's in the new 'Island like no other' advert, but part of it is a remix I believe.

Looking, and sounding great in my opinion. Can't wait to see it on my next visit!

Although a re-theme would be good, even with a re-theme, I can never see this ride being great. After riding the rapids at Alton towers last weekend, I just released how bad Rumba actually is, it doesn't exactly do a lot. The rapids at Alton towers doesn't have a lot of effects or is well themed, but I had a lot of fun on it, a lot more fun than I'd have on Rumba anyway

It was open all day on Sunday, not too sure about Monday. I was checking the que times at the park on my phone on Sunday and it said it was open?

On the weekend, both on Saturday on Sunday I got in the que at about 9:30. On both days it went round at about 9:45 with 2 staff on the front row then when they got to the end (outside the station) after about 5 minutes someone came out and evaced them there. Anyone know why they would do this?

It's 15 minutes earlier. Everyone is let in at 9:30 and annual pass holders are at 9:15. I find it quite beneficial as there isn't many crash pad guests. Can get a few rides done at least.

Really impressed with how the entrance is looking now, looks a lot better than what it was before!

Does anyone know if Slammer reopened today? Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

That's a shame as it looked really good, like Josh said hopefully they could find a solution somehow and we could see the red back in the future!

I don't think you can. You have to enter your merlin pass id or your ticket number when you reserve for a ride, so I am assuming you can only enter your ticket number once. Sent from my iPhone 5S using Tapatalk

Add a couple more worlds first features in because that's what everyone loves

Haha fair enough. Never qued for backwards row this season so didn't know this. I just assumed that the backwards ticket people used to be given at the baggage area people used to hide and then just go forwards.

Was their any enjineers working on the ride or is it like they are waiting for a part? Every time I've been this year there has only been 2 staff working on Quantum, resulting in the operator having to come out of the console and help out.

Even though Slammer is back open, we still haven't had every ride open this season yet this season seeing as Quantum has been down the last 2 days now. Anyone know what's going on?

That's a shame, they must of been either trialing it or they ran out of tickets from people misusing the que, keeping there ticket and going on it forwards.

How do you know this? I'm sure they will try and get another train up and running as soon as possible seeing as it is one of the most popular rides on the park?

Just saw picture of it on Instagram with people on and thought it was from last season, but I was wrong! So glad it's now back open and hopefully it will stay open for the rest of the season. Although I would hate to see it go, I do think it is on it's last sort of chance now. If it has another major problem this year I think it will be it for Slammer. Wont be able to be down Thorpe for at least another month though which is annoying! So glad that Thorpe has never gave up it though!

Over the holidays they haven't been using the backwards que, you just que in the normal que and then decide if you want to go backwards or not in the station. Not sure if this is permanent or if they are just trialing it at the moment. Works a lot better in my opinion.

Thanks for that! On the Saturday I'll probably do what you did, go to Nemesis and then on Sunday and on the Sunday I'll start with Oblivion.

That's what the signs say anyway, I was in a que for Vortex last Sunday and a que jumper got spotted and just got sent to the back of the que. He wasn't even far down in the que anyway.
