yeah Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 It's either the social media guys or the management but someone at Thorpe is bipolar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're now saying it's "permanently" closed just to stop people asking if it's opening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuntman707 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The constant contradictions in their responses really isn't helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 The constant stream of people asking questions isn't helping either... When the park/football team/corporate entity have something to announce, they will announce it... Badgering them about something is just grating down on everyone's nerves...

ste193 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 People are asking because its part of the experience its something they enjoyed and they want to know whats happening to it. I do because without loggers leap it makes me want to go somewhere else as tidal wave just soaks you and isn't an experience and rumba and storm dirge are naff, I think it helps that people are showing interest so that they see the ride is wanted and hope it will persuade to put there money where there mouth is.

Coaster Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Of course people are going to ask what's happening to it, the communication regarding its closure has been shocking. SteveJ and CharlieN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Also if people didnt ask, there would be no business case to keep the ride, when people ask it is probably tracked to see what the impact / return on investment would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 There are better ways to plead the case than constantly moaning to the Twitter team who ONLY KNOW SO MUCH! If you want to moan about the closure, email the park, fill out the screens, go to guest services... The Twitter team are probably just as sick of it as us lot that there's no news... It's not like they're deliberately leading us on a goose chase about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 There's also a difference between several people asking about it once, and some people asking about it several times in successive days / weeks / months expecting a different response. Let's face it, they'd no use in digging into these replies to look for a hidden meaning. The only thing we can conclude is that there's no universal single response, which there should be. But not enough people will pick up on that I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ. Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Today, they are back to saying it's in redevelopment.Is it me or does redevelopment sound like new ride rather than refurbishment? Also not denying the rumours, just saying they are fun. PJ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodie Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 When and why did this close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh3103 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Just now, Jodie said: When and why did this close? The ride closed at the end of the 2015 season for redevelopment and it's currently unknown if it will reopen however I would probably say it will never reopen due to no visible works taking place and the fact it wouldn't be cost effective to maintain Jodie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Is it safe to assume that Loggers won't be back for 2018? Or at least 2018 opening? I figure the amount of work that needs doing is not feasible over closed season with no visible changes on site so far this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I think it's pretty much certian that it's never returning. The work needed to be done costs more than Merlin's stupid formula allows. The only way the ride is ever reopening is a complete retheme so they can market it as brand new worlds first nonsense.

Josh3103 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't have high hopes for the ride to return sadly, the space will probably be used for Thorpe's next big development, however I would love it to return obviously but it doesn't seem likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think Loggers returning is very 50-50. I feel like management want to reopen the ride, as it used to be very popular and would be something for all ages, however I guess it depends how much work would be required. Having been dormant for several years now, not only wouldn't be a case of restoring the ride system to running order such as repairing/replacing trough, pumps and other structures, but likely updating safety to meet current day requirements. I wonder if things such as the water system and boat restrictions could be amended. JoelAllen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
