Project LC Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I am amazed they allowed it to open in that state. How any engineer could have signed that off is a complete mystery. Coaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Christ.. Calling that cycle pathetic is generous.. The ride barely opens.. And when it does, we get this.. I think its time Merlin put Rameses to rest, even Ripsaw didn't run THAT badly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Wasn't open today at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkCrafter Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 That sound was awful... Also did it ever go upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's embarrassing that they even opened it in that state. The riders look confused as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yep it doesn't even go upside down during that "cycle" - anyone know if the operators offered the 2nd go straight afterwards? I'd want to get off after that, that is, provided I could still hear and my eardrums hadn't perished from that god awful noise. RIP Ramases Revenge What a difference 4 years makes...

Matt 236 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Such a shame to see the park's premier thrill machine struggling so badly, especially the start of the season which is concerning to say the least. I would love love to see the ride extensively refurbished. Or failing that, replaced with a Talocan style Top Spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 It never seems to get much of a queue compared to the other rides anyway. Just get rid of it and replace it with something completely different. That thing is beyond redemption and isn't worth the time or money. I'm sure the people at MMM can come up with another disappointing attraction to replace it. JoshuaA and SteveJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Was discussing this the other day - I'd hope it gets replaced with a new Top Spin as that area would seem so odd without it as it's the focal point being lower down... however, I can't see them doing that, personally. I can't imagine CWOA without Ramases, sad times! She really doesn't sound healthy though, would be interested to see other clips from the day. Note as well in the clip that the fountains aren't operating - wonder if that's because the weather is too cold or they just don't want to shoot water in to the ageing ride anymore.

Marc Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 It was obviously experiencing technical problems during the video. I saw it running Saturday and it was flipping as normal.. lets not get too carried away! pognoi and streetmagix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam P Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I got on it Sunday morning no issue, was only running the flipping program. It was down all afternoon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or left to rot with a wooden fence in front of it. Sorry for late reply on this one, how about a reverse basketball type game the pit would work well for throwing a ball into a pit.

Fires of Fury Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Rameses broke down twice in thirty minutes on Saturday. I reckon it's on its way out. https://youtu.be/X0hFPhsTn08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeah Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 That, or maybe they'll do some kind of maintenance to keep it alive just a little longer. This is Merlin though so I wouldn't count on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 That doesn't look good - is it E-Stopping at the same point each time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Remember rameses often e-stops if there is a larger guest on the ride if the restraints move slightly which is a fail safe system , although an annoying one Vince800 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
