InfernoMartin Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 A turntable is broken again Strange that they seem to be breaking a bit this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 The ride is very old now, things don't last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Creek Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think this ride deserves some hefty maintenance over the closed season, rebuild the floor/turntables, try and get the cups more loose so they can easier bad remove the Tetley theme on the cups. After all this is a thorpe classic and despite its age still has a place in the park today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Have they bothered to close off the cup nearest the middle of the turntable this time? Last time I rode SIAT I ended up in the central cup on a broken turntable (the ride was walk-on so I didn't know it wasn't working) - I've had more thrilling rides on carousels.

Kerfuffle Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 This is a little worrying. I'm betting my boots that the next time I hit the Teacups, more of the turntables will be broken...and there'll be a mad dash for the remaining working turntable as soon as the gate is opened! Â I've had more thrilling rides on carousels. *turns to Chessington's carousel with it's spinning teacups* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Unfortunately I don't have a photo of this, but the Tetley Tea character that recently appeared on a themed bench by the Teacups, then disappeared following some damage, has returned! Â Hopefully it can stick around longer this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon2000 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 One of the turntables on the Teacups was broken on Sunday. Wouldn't you expect it to be working after the winter's strip down and re-build!? OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkLover Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think this ride is dangerous, you can easily fall out. Knowing Thorpe they will add OTSR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Creek Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh it's too dangerous, let's put restraints, 6ft fences and polythene everywhere to make it safe as we can't have this!  Seriously  let's not give them ideas as that's least we need right now.

Whatever Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 OTHR for a teacup ride, whatever will they think of next? Closing Bubbleworks? Â L7123456 and JoshuaA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08newmanb Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I appreciate the new Tetley soundtrack, with Gaffer, as well as the WWTP soundtrack, with Big Bob Jones. The new one sounds like a marching parade through town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
