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

That's what I thought. 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.

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...

I heard it's been testing this afternoon...can anyone confirm...?

 

Was testing in the afternoon yes, and wasn't rolling back which is a good sign 🤞

 

Hopefully the issue is resolved and it'll be open in the next couple days.
