sully1311 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 Was at Thorpe Park today, didn't see any work done of Slammer any time I passed. Quote
Mightymetra Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Was at Thorpe Park yesterday. Asked two members of staff about slammer and they both said that it was condemned. Even the entrance sign has been taken down! Quote
Mattgwise Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 It's already been established in previous comments by Thorpe Park themselves that the ride will reopen once fixed. Quote
Mightymetra Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Strange, must just be uneducated rumors! Quote
BigBobJones Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Today they had a cherry picker next to it and one side of the ride was covered up and they have put temporary fencing around the ride, looks like the part has arrived and being fixed Quote
c1hrisin Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Same yellow fence as last time? I think this ride has its own fencing as it seems to be constantly breaking down lol Quote
EC! Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 I hope its not going to be much longer now the ride seems to have been down for ages. Quote
Ricky Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 Woah it could be ready for all 6 days in November!? It's gonna be rammed cos Slammers reopened! c1hrisin 1 Quote
BigBobJones Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I didn't say which year Tinie! You have not added the S&S factor, it may only work for 1 day before requiring a few months rest while another part is on order :-) Ricky 1 Quote
Mccy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 This isn't much of an update but work is due to start in the next 2 weeks and should last for around 6 weeks. So hopefully, Slammer will be back in operation within the next 8 weeks. Quote
StevenVig Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 This isn't much of an update but work is due to start in the next 2 weeks and should last for around 6 weeks. So hopefully, Slammer will be back in operation within the next 8 weeks. And then another 8 after its very first cycle BigBobJones 1 Quote
BigBobJones Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 So by around the 15th September we should be Slammin' then? It is such a shame as all those going over the busy August period will not get to ride it. Quote
Dan9 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 I wouldn't start putting a date on it. Rich 1 Quote
EC! Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Hi guys, I have checked Thorpe's website and the "Slammer will be unavailable today-sorry for any inconvenience caused" banner has been taken down and the ride has been taken off the extreme thrills slider at the bottom of the page. Sounds very bad so I look at top and I click on the rides button and Slammer is still under extreme thrills I click on page and it says " We are sorry but The Slammer is currently closed for essential maintenance. It will reopen later in the season." I hope so or do you think they are hiding something bigger I'm not sure what do think personally I think that they are trying to take attention away from the ride. Again what do you think? Quote
Benin Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 They're taking attention away from the ride... Links in with the removal of ride signage really... Quote
Fred Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 They still mention it at the entrance - which to be fair, is the only place they should really display it. Not like it's a massive ride, anyone looking for it on website will see that information as well. Quote
Mitchada04 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 I think this is the best way. Having it on the scroller all the time meant that anyone just glancing at Thorpe's website will notice it and either go what's Slammer or start spamming Facebook as to why it's closed. Only having it on Slammer's page means only people looking for the ride will find out about it. Having Slammer tucked away is really handy for Thorpe as they can literally just try and hide it. Quite like the text thay've added to the Slammer image on it's page as I think it will be heavily used. Quote
Weeksy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Any news on Slammer? Website still says out of action but coming back, but good god, its been a bit now! Quote
Stokesyboy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Saw a couple of mechanics walking around it and doing stuff to it on sunday but I've heard it's nearly back in action! Quote
