Cal Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Nope but the sign has been put back up, water dummies removed from what I could see. It looks as if its ready to go for tomorrow to me! Was it testing today as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercameron98 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah it did a couple of full speed tests and then at points throughout the day it raised, began spinning but stopped on an angle. Towards the end of the day they raised it with the caps off of the water dummies, and rotated it to get rid of the water in them. Pavements outside the ride were cleaned and jet washed as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpelover Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I reckon it won't be open tomorrow. Reason being after seeing it today with 3 enginerners at one time. I always thought that if they are still working on it there are problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoMartin Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I reckon it won't be open tomorrow. Reason being after seeing it today with 3 enginerners at one time. I always thought that if they are still working on it there are problems I believe by the looks of things yesterday that they were finishing off the E Stop tests. The way it was stopping at funny angles and then after a while rotating itself back and lowering today seems like they are just running final checks, for the possible opening today!

Whatever Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 *crosses fingers* Please be tomorrow. I'm going then. But going back to an earlier post, why did they empty the water out of the dummies while it was testing?Surely it would have splashed people walking past/ on Colossus?

James Allgood Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Slammer is open again! Just ridden it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Last year Slammer closed everyday around 2 for checks, so it's likely that the second shutdown was just because they were doing checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Did it just before 3. its great to see it going again! as for the breakdowns, it may well be the half day engineering checks they did last season throughout the day repeated this year.
