October 12, 20159 yr comment_220617 Noooooooooo! I knew I shouldn't have jinxed it by mentioning me wanting to ride
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220634 It may just be understaffing as for fright nights a lot more operators are required due to the extended hours, and if I remember rightly one person cant operate a ride for more then 8 hours by law...
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220635 It may just be understaffing as for fright nights a lot more operators are required due to the extended hours, and if I remember rightly one person cant operate a ride for more then 8 hours by law... Slammer is not closed because of understaffing.
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220638 It heard everyone slate it saying they wanted to get rid of it, and is having a hissy fit.... Actually no, all you haters would want that, it being closed longer gives more chance of it getting removed haha
October 12, 20159 yr comment_220639 I think Thorpe will keep it for a while now.. In the last 2-3 years Thorpe has poured loads of money into it..
October 13, 20159 yr comment_220720 They had better keep it... One of my favourite flats I've been on in the UK and abroad... It would be a shame if they got rid of the world's only... Love Slammer. Also the throughput and operations are improving a lot recently on it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220828 Thorpes twitter page is now telling people Slammer is shut for rest of the season.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220832 Thorpes twitter page is now telling people Slammer is shut for rest of the season. Wow... no more Slammer ever by the looks of it Wow... no more Slammer ever by the looks of it Is this the end?
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220834 I think Thorpe will keep it for a while now.. In the last 2-3 years Thorpe has poured loads of money into it.. Last decade more like... Let's be honest, as soon as S&S stopped producing actual components for it Slammer was doomed...
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220835 Shame, if it really is going then I would have really liked to have several final rides on it. I won't be impressed if they just remove it without any forewarning, rides should always be given a good sendoff IMO.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220836 Either that or it needs extended winter maintenance for it to open at the start of the season, but I doubt it
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220837 Dead as a door knocker. It's amazing it lasted this long as it was, by the end I was treating every ride as a final ride. Bye Slammer you unreliable, amazing ride. I shall miss you.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220838 Memories to start of season before, riding Slammer in the snow as it was one of the only rides open
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220839 YES it might finally be going! So with Samurai and this pretty much doomed, hopefully they can buy something new for either next season or 2017, although I'm not holding my breath.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220842 Slammer should be preserved at (almost) all costs, it's a very unique ride (IMHO, I've never experienced another ride quiet like it).
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220847 I still don't understand why on earth they weren't advertising it when opening, focusing in on the worlds only tag line! am gutted it's closed... was really looking forward to riding it in the dark in fright nights or last day of season
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220849 Yeah I have a feeling I've had my last ride on slammer. Stop pouring money into samurai and spend it on slammer. Samurai is terrible and boring, slammer is unique and fun.
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220854 YES it might finally be going! So with Samurai and this pretty much doomed, hopefully they can buy something new for either next season or 2017, although I'm not holding my breath. Samurai has been testing all day!
October 14, 20159 yr comment_220857 Really? Ah that's good then I thought it was taken apart and hadn't been put back together! Samurai used to be amazing, Slammer has always been disgusting though in my opinion. I just don't like headaches together with my flat rides.
