March 13, 20169 yr comment_229578 Really hope that's a mistake! It's just from the end of last season haha, it still hasn't been updated.
March 14, 20169 yr comment_229605 Fingers crossed she hold on until 11th May, it's been a loooong time.
April 23, 20169 yr comment_233054 Does anyone have any idea as to why slammer is down all day, whilst it seems to have been running fine over the last few weeks?
April 23, 20169 yr comment_233055 Does anyone have any idea as to why slammer is down all day, whilst it seems to have been running fine over the last few weeks? Because Slammer is such a reliable ride.
April 25, 20169 yr comment_233213 Hmm so does this mean that Samurai will open soon? Well - Slammer last a month and hopefully it will be back soon.....fingers crossed
May 1, 20169 yr comment_233870 As slammer has reopened this weekend, could this be a sign that it will only be during peak times, such as weekends and school holidays, or was it down for a week with a genuine fault?
May 10, 20169 yr comment_234380 It was really noticeable how much faster Slammer is raising and coming back down than in recent years! Operations were also really good, and at one point they were even loading there air gates while the ride was in operation which I haven't seen them do in years. However I did notice staff no longer have a key to unlock single restraints, so if someones restraint is too tight they have to unlock every restraint both sides and start over which was annoying.
May 11, 20169 yr comment_234526 Slammer behaved for our ride today. Fair play to Merlin for keeping the slamming going for another year at least, I do love the ride.
June 5, 20169 yr comment_235998 Saw someone who I think had passed out next to slammer from the top of Colossus today, there were staff members blocking off the area
June 5, 20169 yr comment_235999 Yeah, slammer had closed for around the last 2 hours, seems like someone was on the floor and an ambulance was there with around 8 people treating the person.
July 1, 20169 yr comment_237711 Slammer appears to have been down since 27th June - has she slammed for the final time?
July 1, 20169 yr comment_237713 It has tested since then and water dummy's have appeared so hopefully not
July 1, 20169 yr comment_237723 Considering last year it opened on the last day of May and went into October, meaning it lasted four months, before it was said it had to undergo maintainance of an extended period, could it be that Slammer has to complete winter like testing every four months.

No. It'll be opening soon
July 1, 20169 yr comment_237726 Anything could happen on Thorpe's third least predictable ride. This isn't DBGT. I'm sure it isn't Ripsaw just yet.

July 1, 20169 yr comment_237747 If it has been testing with dummys, it will be open by mid next week at the earliest.
