stealthtastic Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 rush is now back down but hopefully only for today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Lolpies, actually Rush experienced downtime all of 10 mins. Engineer came like straight away. So no it is not down, all that is wrong is the fact the swings aren't in sync but oh wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 They are never perfectly in sync anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I hope they're not always as bad as when I went (Friday 11th) it was almost scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I agree with Georgie. There is always one swing that is about one second out from the other swing at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 ive never been on Rush but ive passed many times and every time I see it its Swing B that seems to swing slightly lower than Swing A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven G Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The ride has been doing well since when it opened!It did open again I think, but it has shut again since, not sure why however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I love this ride, it is just so much fun!I do hope it stays open, I'll be going on monday, and if it's closed, I will be so annoyed. I love the ffeling of swooping down, and then back up but I always feel so open and exposed at the top, and the restraints are so minimal...but it is definately one of the best flat rides [after samurai] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Rush's wheels were removed within 12-18months of it opening - so why are the wheels still in storage under Nemesis' station? Why haven't they been sent back to S&S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 They probably don't want them or have room to store bits of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 If they don't want them, send them back to S&S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Due to technical problems, they were unsure of how long it would be but hope to have it open again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 If there's a count for how many days Thorpe's rides are down in the rides lifetime, then Rush tops it. Yes people, it tops Stealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yes people, it tops Stealth.Stealth has been very reliable this year in terms of days closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I know. In previous years it just doesn't wanna work. This year, it thinks "F**k it, time for a rest on the top hat" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCon Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 "F**k it, time for a rest on the top hat"Hahaha. I have the worst luck, so if Rush isn't down on saturday, it's a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
