September 6, 201014 yr comment_98020 ^Just wondering why they did not close the area off?Because as you said the ride was opening later in the day? It's usually closed off during prolonged periods of closure incase any vehciles (such as lorry's or cherry picker's) are required since they take up a lot of space considering the area outside Slammer is fairly small. And considering the only reason you'd need to walk onto that path is to access Slammer it doesn't make much of a difference anyway.
September 6, 201014 yr comment_98081 It happens whenever Slammer is unavailable, I assume so that if they are doing work on it and it falls or anything then people are a far enough distance away.It also stop people queueing for it to re-open.The area cut off is basically all the area containing Slammer from the edge of the toilets building.But yeah, Slammer is an epic ride Don't be so silly, slammer isn't guna just topal over at any minute... Slammer should be up and running soon, and intact and 'fall-free'
September 7, 201014 yr comment_98164 Its got blue tarps over the South side. It doesn't look like its moving for a few days (as a guess).
September 7, 201014 yr comment_98171 Then something major has happened to it, especially if it has tarp over it.If it had something small it'd have a staff member at the entrance informing people it was closed - Ricky you don't seem to know what you're talking about, you do come out with a lot of bollocks pretending you know park operations inside out when you're only a mere 16 year old.

It's my favourite ride! I remember last year it was closed for a few months. Might this be the same thing?
September 7, 201014 yr comment_98190 I don't remember it being down for months last year. Down, yes. But not down for such a long time? The only time I remember it being down for a few months is in 2005...

September 11, 201014 yr comment_98520 Does slammer still play the opera type music at the beginning of everyride?
September 12, 201014 yr comment_98563 Does slammer still play the opera type music at the beginning of everyride? http://media.musicofmerlin.com/thorpe/canadacreek/slammer/slammer_theme.mp3The above has been the Slammer theme since 2007 (or 2008 if I'm wrong). I prefer this to the previous theme, however I didn't at first.
September 12, 201014 yr comment_98622 YES! I've been looking for this for so long! Is there anywhere I can download it?
September 16, 201014 yr comment_98857 What exactly is the problem with Slammer at the moment?Does anyone have any prediction?
September 16, 201014 yr comment_98859 No idea but It would make sense that it is awaiting a part as people are commenting nothing is being done to the ride. This happened before and it took about 6 weeks for them to recieve the part and then it was fixed fairly quickly.

They need to cover every aspect.
October 17, 201014 yr comment_100585 Just thought id mention what I noticed was different about it. The four supports seem to be even more silver in colour than before and the main arm has bits of white over the brown bits. Its much smoother when lowering now. Before as it was lowering it would look like it was going to go back up again 3 or 4 times as it lowered. It only does this once now.
October 21, 201014 yr comment_100826 Before as it was lowering it would look like it was going to go back up again 3 or 4 times as it lowered. It only does this once now.Strange I counted 3 last time I went on. I believe it does this to release air pressure or something along them lines, so its a must do, nothing structural can change it.
November 7, 201014 yr comment_102844 Slammer closed around 2 yesterday and as far as I am aware did not open again for the remainder of the day.
