November 10, 201014 yr comment_103153 It can't be argued that it is a pretty unique ride and so it will always have abnormal faults, for such an iconic ride we can't really blame it for it's faults. Is this ride the only in the country?

November 10, 201014 yr comment_103156 There are only 2 S&S Power Sky Swatter's in the world, one is Slammer, the other is Catapult at Six Flags New England in America. So yes, Slammer is the only one in Europe.I don't actually know if Catapult is operating at the moment though?
November 11, 201014 yr comment_103174 I thought it had gone until I stumbled across this...If you open the video up it says it was filmed at 5.15pm on Oct 10th 2010 and there a lot of other videos showing it operating this year!
November 11, 201014 yr comment_103175 It moved when Six Flags Astroworld closed down (named Skyswat.. yes original). It's still has a lot of problems in its new home though.
November 11, 201014 yr comment_103176 Yeah I know it moved Mark but I thought I read somewhere a while back because of all it's problems it was going to close permantly.
November 11, 201014 yr comment_103180 It was operating at least during this summer as I went on it. It does suffer from a lot of problems though I am guessing; loads of people who were surprised it was running.

It does suffer from a lot of problems though I am guessing; loads of people who were surprised it was running.the first time I went on slammer I was bricking it so I was doing anything to take my mind of it and that meant playing with the speakers hahaha I broke one on the right side haha it started to make buzzing noises so I just left it never exited a ride so quick :L

Please, next you'll be telling us you hate chavs, in my eyes what you have done makes you just that
January 4, 201114 yr comment_106100 Arn't you the cool kid? Please, next you'll be telling us you hate chavs, in my eyes what you have done makes you just that clearly accidently breaking a speaker makes me chav...? I'm sure you have broken something before does that make you a chav.........no
January 4, 201114 yr comment_106101 clearly accidently breaking a speaker makes me chav...? I'm sure you have broken something before does that make you a chav.........no You shouldn't have really been playing with it in the first place.
January 4, 201114 yr comment_106108 Arn't you the cool kid? Please, next you'll be telling us you hate chavs, in my eyes what you have done makes you just that Now now, not everyone is so innocent. I accidently broke the petrol pump at Stealth once and many a fanboy has run round Thorpe stealing illaminated signs. He broke it out of nerves, not out of spite..
January 4, 201114 yr comment_106115 A chav is someone who struts around with their trousers below their bums, swears constantly, and who allows their pitbulls to attack small children. I somehow don't think breaking a speaker makes a person a chav :L
January 6, 201114 yr comment_106224 ^ Sorry : , just got kinda annoyed, Slammer is cool, I love the blood rushing to my head
January 24, 201114 yr comment_107486 The ride is certainly very sexy and smoothThis is the one ride that for some reason seems to terrify all my friends. I can understand it being intimidating, but not to the point that some of my friends seem to feel. Personally, I find Stealth much more intimidating. However, Slammer is a great ride and the experiences is awesome even if it's not your kind of ride. Once again, a very sexy ride.
January 25, 201114 yr comment_107558 The ride is certainly very sexy and smoothOnce again, a very sexy ride.Again, I cant stress enough. Serious, professional help.Thats what you need.
January 25, 201114 yr comment_107559 Again, I cant stress enough. Serious, professional help.Thats what you need.You seem to be stalking a banned troll.
January 25, 201114 yr comment_107601 Again, I cant stress enough. Serious, professional help.Thats what you need.I was thinking that too, I just didnt know how to say it without being too harsh :L
January 25, 201114 yr comment_107602 You seem to be stalking a banned troll. I don't think we have to worry about him anymore...Now, the rotating free-fall experience of Slammer... Should it have 'the' in front of it or not?
March 27, 201114 yr comment_111908 The most under-rated ride in the park. Shame about the poor loading time.
March 29, 201114 yr comment_112039 Definitely agree; along with Detonator, Slammer still remains to be one of the only rides which the majority of my mates look at and think "no way!"
October 3, 201113 yr comment_124172 What's the deal with Slammer at the moment? It's reliability has to be the worst in the park this year.
October 3, 201113 yr comment_124175 What's the deal with Slammer at the moment? It's reliability has to be the worst in the park ever.It's been fixed now. Slammer (and it's sister ride in America) have both been stupidly unreliable. I think it's just the way in which they use up the air canisters. Very unefficient and just plain useless in some cases.Though I like Slammmer, it is bloody awful at throughput for something that can fit what. 30 on both sides? S&S sometimes do bite off more than they can chew when it's NOT a Tower ride.
