TimR Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think it will be okay for tomorrow, if it is unavailable that will be really bad for Thorpe, they will be doing everything to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Standard Technical Difficulties, you will not be able to find out any exact reason. The park plan to have the ride open for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 so this means people who won the tpm competition dident get to ride it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 so this means people who won the tpm competition dident get to ride it?Unfortunately, yes this would have been the case. Rush and Colossus where opened instead for other people at the park today. They done their best to get the ride open but it was not possible today.

jason10 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I absoutely hate it when newspapers blow everything out of proportion. And for what? A bit of news which most of isn't true, just for ratings. Articles such as this one put bad names to somewhere which doesn't need it. Yes, it did break down. So what? You don't hear the newspapers ramble on about how Stealth had a 'near-fatal backwards freefall to hell as one of the rides mechanisms failed to launch it to a safe speed.' AKA, a roll back. The only reason it got into the news is because it had celebrity riders. One thing whoch bugs me is how they mention it is 'at one point, 200m high...' What the hell? Also, this. 'Jonathan Ross, who was on the long-anticipated ride with his wife and son, looked shaken when the ride finished, and was seen rubbing his son’s back.' It's a horror ride. What do you expect? *End Rant* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I couldn't agree with you more jason, I have posted my view under comments on that article, my comment is named Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenVig Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 a woman being tortured by a masked maniac, and a 'dead' man is suspended in barbed wire.Interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeahh can anyone help me here, I'm a bit lost. Dozens of people were trapped for 15 minutes as the ride’s barriers shut down.What barriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Air Gates? Block Brakes? Maybe it's just that the press don't know the proper term for them. Which wouldn't exactly shock the life from me I must say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Maybe there are barriers before you enter the dark section?I feel bad for the admins and TPM members who won the competition but I hope it's up for Saturday *prays* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Can I say, it will be open for tomorow and the weekend I saw it testing earlier when I was in science.So whatever the fault is it must of been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste193 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks I hope so I really want ot know whats inside seeing as I have to wait till summerish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 If that's is true, I am very glad and I hope that it doesn't break down anymore. I bet it sucks to be Johnathan Ross and Co, we (TPM) might be able to ride it before him on Saturday seeing as Celebs are more busy than we are.

Honestly, I do think there are other things Jonathon Ross really cares about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well the Sun's article is even worse!http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...icle2315864.eceSilly cow "I spent millions on my big FAKE tits and I don't want to ruin them by having fun on a rollercoaster!"Sorry but that's just pathetic! The joke's on her, with big things like that bulging out of her chest she wouldn't have been able to fit on the rides anyway, should she take the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 A few comments:Fook me she's minging.If you're going to post a spoiler, use the f*cking spoiler tags.Should've bloody left Jonathan Ross on there.I guarantee I'm busier than most celebrities right now, Will.The blatant Theme Park geeks getting all angry with the Daily Mail readers in the comments is hilarious. That is a fight I'd pay to see.I'm still going to wait until the summer to ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 That is all so pathetic. The papers really do make Thorpe look bad with them reports but at the end of the day, it broke down :/ just cos it was open for celebrities, it doesn't mean that everything has to be working properly and whatever.But aah, Mutya was there moving on...
