April 12Apr 12 comment_324856 Think they need to update the ride availability page on the website as that's a week now...
April 12Apr 12 comment_324858 Think they stopped using that now lol....hopefully it's back up and running again soon (the ride, not the page)

April 12Apr 12 comment_324861 Seems to have some issues causing rollbacks at the moment. Hopefully just waiting on a part and will be back open soon 🤞
April 12Apr 12 comment_324862 I heard that Intamin don't make the parts anymore and that they have to be made custom (which is a long process) and very expensive. I saw people in the launch bunker with the door open a few days ago so it's probably a launch issue (not getting enough power etc) I'm sure it'll be back up again soon, seeing as it made it through the summer 2019 incident.

Interesting, not something I've really heard before. Whilst Intamin don't make Accelerators any more, I'd be surprised if they completely stopped making parts - or at the very least having an active role in their production. There's still multiple out there which certainly aren't near their end of life, so it would make sense for them to still provide for the parks that operate them. Regarding the current closure, I believe Thorpe are in contact with Intamin to find a solution to whatever the issue is. Seems to be a new issue which just has rubbish timing of happening at the start of the season

I wouldn't think they'd stop making parts for them seeing as it'd be a bit daft if they didn't. It's good to see Thorpe in contact with Intamin. Let's hope it's back up again soon. The downtime may signify that part may be on it's way but who knows. We can only hope I guess lol.
April 13Apr 13 comment_324877 By the way, bit naughty that the app allows you to buy a one shot fasttrack for Stealth still, and has done all week 🙃

April 13Apr 13 comment_324881 I wonder if with the cuts / redundancies, the people who would usually be responsible for things like that (ie app / website updates) have been let go / had their job modified and people there just haven't joined up the dots for what needs to be done?

They definitely don't reply to Tweets etc. as much as they used to, so would make sense.

Wouldn't surprise me. I've definitely noticed the app hasn't been updated as much since the days of the passholder group, where they were regularly asking for feedback and making changes. The single rider page on the info section still hasn't been updated to include Hyperia for example...
April 13Apr 13 comment_324885 It’s a shame because barely 12 months ago, with great fanfare, the new brand was launched which was based on being open and transparent - things like this were championed as the new way forward… The annual new season videos were also missing this spring.

April 15Apr 15 comment_324915 ask me why, you say it's most unusual, how can I, even try, to explain, why today, it feels like breaking, rolling back like Asda, when it wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
