Friend has told me Vortex has been down all day, hopefully they are going to fix the problems in which the way Vortex has been running.
-
I'm not saying it's a bad thing that they sell them for this cheap. But Thorpe Park encourage people to buy tickets online, 2 days in advance for cheaper tickets so they know how many people are going to the park. But if everyone is buying annual passes, they won't know the numbers before the day?
-
I can imagine it being very busy today because of teachers strike and that, and bad operations wouldn't help! What happened today?
-
But I swear they only just installed it?
-
I'm not just referring it to this season, I mean last Season as well, I saw it once earlier on last season and never saw it again. Not in the summer or anything.
-
What happened to the massive hose near the platform of the ride? I saw this is once.
-
I have no idea, that's what I don't understand?
-
I don't see why some staff don't turn the effects on! If they are working, why don't they have them on? Thats what they are for.
-
No mist on the annual pass day, I think it's just a case of the operator turning it on or leaving it off.
-
An hour!? Normally the operations on the swarm are amazing compared to other coasters... What were they doing in the station to make such a low throughput?
-
An engineer went into the operation booth while that happened, did he have to do it manually I'm guessing?
-
I don't think it's ready, as every other coaster has had a second train on at some point this season except Colossus. If it was ready to use, I'm pretty sure it would be on if there was a 75 mins que and they managed to have 2 trains on rides when there is a walk on que...
-
Totally agree with your point, with Chessington around the corner, which is aimed for families I don't see why Thorpe are suddenly aiming for families. Most people go there for the bigger rides like Swarm and Saw.
-
If this clearly is the case then, why wasn't this fixed over the closed season!?
-
They are normally on regardless of the weather but I suppose it is up to the operator to turn them on or not. I don't see why they wouldn't keep them always on though because if you don't want to get wet, you can go in the inside seats and you don't get wet.
-
What rules?
-
I think it's just dependent on what car you are on, I went on it 3 times last weekend, and 1 of them were really good! The two times I noticed it being bad was on car number 7 and the good one was number 1 I think.
-
And they used to have to dispatch in 45secs? What they actually doing in the station for an extra 3 mins? The que has gone down to 20 mins btw
-
Haven't seen or heard about any downtime this year so far, but I'm sure it will go back to it's daily breakdowns as the season goes on
-
Good to hear that it's open! Is it running any faster/better than it was last year after getting new parts?
-
And at the bottom of the stairs at Saw haha
-
How exactly do you know this?
