L7123456 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 One week it's been closed for. Not good at all given that the ride has only been open for a month and is already suffering extended downtime.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben199 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Been to the park twice now since DBGT opened and both times it's been down for the whole visit. Obviously I understand that downtime is a thing but it shouldn't take three (at least I hope!) trips to the park to have a go on the new ride.

At least the ads for DBGT appear to have been pulled from Facebook, the advertising while it was shut was what seemed to be riling people most on the comments.

holtjammy16 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 On 8/19/2016 at 2:13 PM, Matt Creek said: Thorpe lately is been having so many problems. DBGT downtime, constant ride breakdowns, fastrack not to mention most of the park looks like a rundown sea side town currently. Whilst number one may be unavoidable, something certainly needs to change as the same problems have reoccurred most years and the park can't properly improve until these are resolved. Think it says a lot when the last good attendance year was 2011. Can't say I'm tempted to go back until Fright Nights. That's not really just lately though, they've had the same problems for like the past 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoMachine Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Wasn't open today, testing sign on doors in staff area so looks like work was being done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cian Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hopefully that tells us Thorpe are attempting to refine all the little issues (4D effects, computer's overheating etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ. Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Has there been any official line about this from Thorpe? No wonder Derren isn't saying much about his attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The official line will be that they won't update - they never do, the ride will just re-open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 https://www.thorpepark.com/faqs/ There's a couple of FAQs answered there, which is as much detail as we'd ever get. Thorpe don't like going into detail about why a ride is closed, and you could argue that for DBGT in particular, any more details could spoil the experience for anyone who hasn't been on it.

Cornflakes Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Interesting that they seem to be suggesting it'll be open next week, they must have some confidence in that if they're putting it on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Blimey that is a first suggesting a reopening date! Always dangerous though mentioning dates... Matt 236 and Cornflakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hence the wink The website mentions about if you've booked for the week of "17th-21st August" - and then about taking it out of action "this week" - assume by that they aimed to have it open for Monday 22nd but that hasn't happened.
