Oh they do happen.. HOWEVER why is it only at thorpe are they a daily occurance compared to every other theme park I've visited where rides are rarely closed (this includes Europa Park, Phantasialand, Holiday park, Klotten, Parque de Attroctiones, Parque Warner, Alton Towers, Drayton Manor, Paultons, Legoland (the list goes on). Y'know I'm really tired of people saying well as long as evreything else is running to capacity then its fine to have a ride closed because its not.
