MattyMoo Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Noooooooooo! I knew I shouldn't have jinxed it by mentioning me wanting to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt10 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 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...

OldFarmerDean Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I think Thorpe will keep it for a while now.. In the last 2-3 years Thorpe has poured loads of money into it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_sparks1 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 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.

Let's be honest, as soon as S&S stopped producing actual components for it Slammer was doomed... pognoi and JoshuaA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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.

LK_ Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Either that or it needs extended winter maintenance for it to open at the start of the season, but I doubt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Memories to start of season before, riding Slammer in the snow as it was one of the only rides open Glitch and Tom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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.

Ian-S Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Slammer should be preserved at (almost) all costs, it's a very unique ride (IMHO, I've never experienced another ride quiet like it). HermanTheGerman and ImLucifer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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 Ian-S and Cal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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!

Altitude Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 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.
