  3. Closed Rides

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Ghosty stealth and fish were closed all day. Apart from that I didn't see any rides that went down. Queues ran fast and fast track really wasn't a problem. We all got free return tickets but still very frustrating having ghosty and stealth closed especially for people who have travelled a long way to thorpe.

    On the subject of ghosty. Since it has been open I have been on 4 separate days. only 1 of these days has had ghost train open for more then 2 minuets. I have tried to ride it 5 times with only 2 successes. My failures happened when I was in the pres-how, In the baggage area and when I was at the front of the queue. :angry2:

    Ah okay thanks, at least I have a chance of a free return!

    So I'm going to be at Thorpe for the first time in about a month and a half on the 26th, are there any rides that have been experiencing any downtime recently? Also has the scenario with Stealth changed at all?

    I've visited quite a bit over the last 4-5 years ( I don't have a MAP so they're sporadic visits) and I've never had a rollercoaster be down all day or even half the day. Saw and Colossus have had minor breakdowns while I've been there but the only full day closures I've ever seen were Slammer, Samurai and Loggers Leap!

    Slammer, as great as it is, has been needing to be thrown in a skip for the last 4-5 years really. We should probably realise by now that Thorpe aren't going to get rid of it in the next couple as either they can't be arsed when they have a ride that still works a quarter of the time or they just like throwing money away. Fingers crossed Slammer still has a dignified end.

    This is the opposite of me. I've been numerous times in the past 2 years and 90% of the time it seems to be operating. Slammer though is another matter...!

    2/5 times Samurai has been open for me and 2/5 Slammer aswell![emoji23]

    I've been to Thorpe Park 7 times since October 2014 (my first visit) and have never seen the attraction in operation...

    In fairness I've been 5 times since August 2013 and it's been up twice. Once in August 2013 and once in April 2014 I believe.

    I noticed that the yellow boat stopped at the same place (top of the lift) four times on Thursday, and had to be evacuated 3 times! (I'm unsure whether it happened a fourth time). was very unusual.

    I don't actually know the problem but I thought they'd fixed that over closed season. Happened quite a bit during my late season visits.

    Yeah because sw1 2 and 3 were all record breakers.

    Well yeah, I believe SW1 and SW2 were each going to be the first of their kind in Europe and Nemesis was the first Inverted coaster in Europe.
