April 4, 200718 yr comment_8130 Just later than the others. For a start:A: S+S came to the restraints, not restraints to S+SB: They aren't new.
April 4, 200718 yr comment_8132 Just later than the others. For a start:A: S+S came to the restraints, not restraints to S+SB: They aren;t new. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No... it was restraints to S&S , I'm pretty sure a certain engineer knows what they are talking about.
April 4, 200718 yr comment_8133 Slammer and Rush's whole restraint system was sent to S&S in america, as far as I know some of them may well have been replaced on both rides.
April 4, 200718 yr comment_8138 Workers don't know everything...they may THINK they do but they're not always right.
April 4, 200718 yr comment_8140 So Rush's engineer I spoke to on 2ND April lied? No. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, me and Marc where speaking to someone when they where being sent off..
April 4, 200718 yr comment_8151 Sorry Alex, but you have the wrong end of teh stick here. A: I never said that older members are superior/elite [Dann's description of Elite: Superior to others]B: Did I ever say he is my source? Stop presuming.
April 5, 200718 yr comment_8168 Well nothing is wrong with it anymore, I mean, Rush is open, so their is nothing wrong with it. The restraints may have been sent to america to S&S. I dont think that Rush has new restraints, but no one can be sure unless you own the park or work for S&S, as the restraints look entirely the same. Alex, it might look as if sebs trying to be supierior over speedjunkie, but I dont think he is, seb may just know abit more (no offense), but it doesnt mean he is being superior over the newer members. We were all newer members at some point.Anyway, back on Rush...
April 17, 200718 yr comment_8443 Yeah. And it seems to be slipping back into it's old ways, I.E One Swing. *Sigh*
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10941 admitidly, I have never been on rush but seriously want to when I return to thorpe park for the 6th time this year, next week! but I dont wanna have to wait in that enormous queue?and the reason for the queue is that the other arm doesnt swing or sumthing stupid like that? well, thats what they say anyway?does anyone know the real reason why only 1 swing works???
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10946 No. And this topic could have gone in quick questions. It ahasn't been on 1 swing much this year, better than 05/06.
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10957 yea I no, but its still not right is it?? they should fix it so both work!!an its an important ride aswell, because its the biggest and 1st flat ride swing outside of the USA! made by S&S power I think?
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10958 Its been on 2 swings all year as far as I'm aware. The queue isnt actually that long.. its about 45 minutes when its back to the entrance.
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10961 thas alrite then, cause last time I went, only one swing was working and the queue was out the entrance and round he corner a bit!I'm goin on it though when I next go, as I bin told its an awesome experience!
June 13, 200718 yr comment_10965 It's a really good experience And usually if there's a closed ride or whatever, it's usually in the closed rides topic.Hope that helps
March 25, 200817 yr comment_24507 Its been closed for quite a few weeks now, I know its still the start of the season but all the other rides have been in operation. Ive been about 4 times this year and every time I go over to rush and look at the same untouched scene. Are thorpe being lazy? Does anyone know when they will be getting the right seats back on the swing and open it up!
March 25, 200817 yr comment_24510 when I was there today there were engineers fixing it up.the seats are on and I think the cables are being attached.
March 26, 200817 yr comment_24530 That sounds prommising, I will go on the weekend and see what its like! Hopefully it will be open then!
March 26, 200817 yr comment_24535 Yep, think so. When I was there yestrday, it was on. It seemed they were working on the cables.
March 26, 200817 yr comment_24540 Thorpe were let down by S&S (the manufacturer) which lead to a delay in essential parts required to put the ride back together for the new season arriving. Now that the parts have finally arrived, the rides re-construction has commenced and should take around another week before it is fully operational once again.
March 26, 200817 yr comment_24547 I'm sure the people concerned at Thorpe are questioning exactly the same thing Mr Cant....However, it was a delay, rather than a mixup.
April 2, 200817 yr comment_24811 I went to thorpe at the weekend. Rush was still closed . Any updates about the ride?
