Huh? Actually I have no idea why it was down on my trip on Friday.. a day where it was sunny all day, no rain whatsoever.

Chessington Trip Reports
How many rides were closed all day Marc Also I'm not really allowed to discuss rattlesnake.. I'll just say some staff need a slap in the face. Also you know exactly why Skyway doesn't work in the rain unless you want to be on one that collides with another.

The filming wouldn't cost that much - for instance I have to film a music video for Media this year on quite high quality cameras that cost around ?5000 - presumably Thorpe already own these. Also staff would have probably have been in anyway as most Team Leaders work at the parks through closed season anyway.

Ride Photo Ideas!
I don't put my arms very much anymore, I don't need to proove anything... On Stealth my arms are usually down although to be fair I'm normally asleep half way down the launch. The only rides I put my arms up are B&M's now.. the raw adrenaline feeling is unmatched by any other rides... oh and Vortex

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
Skyway does work in the rain but because of the hills the ride goes around on its circuit as it rains these becomes slippery and they can't make it to the top. Unless Inferno has that sort of issue its a poor line to go on. Fury wasn't closed for a full 3 months either..

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
1 ride tbh. Besides Stealth's downtime is just as bad, its a major rollercoaster that had had downtime for 2 weeks at a time every now and then throughout the season. Besides if you want to get further into it isn't this a park that had Tidal Wave down for 3 months in the 2005 season, a ride getting people stuck upside down several times a year resulting in months of downtime, a ride that is "officially" f**ked and barely open throughout the entire season as well as numerous rides just closed.

Thorpe Park Trip Reports
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.

No breakdowns doesn't make up for the fact that Quantum (a high capacity thrill ride) was closed.

I agree with Sheepie, 2003 was the best year. A good mix of old and new.

Park Theming & Effects
Hes right. But think how celebrated Stealth would be if it was actually themed properly instead of hap-hazardedly.
