Inferno Posted yesterday at 12:29 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:29 PM 4 hours ago, Jax said: It's almost as if the marketing team have no idea what's going on at the park. To be fair they probably work in an office elsewhere, and don’t visit the park as guests that often. They are simply doing their jobs - this post will have been just one of many things they would have been working on at the time. I think of the places I’ve worked over the years, and many of them I haven’t even been a customer of the company 🤷♂️ For all we know this could have been written and scheduled ages ago, or maybe even the people who run this stuff might not even work for Merlin. Social media can be outsourced and work with stock images and key info, like times etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted yesterday at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:58 PM I don't know who writes those tweets, but they will be scheduled in advance (likely by the month at a minimum, maybe further). It's not an ideal thing to do when the ride the choose is experiencing extended downtime. I would think it's something they could schedule more on a weekly basis, to avoid such a potential issue. There is another question to raise, which is why they need to tweet opening times every week. These tweets seem to get minimal views / engagement, suggesting it's not furthering the audience's understanding of opening hours. Just seems a tad unnecessary from the outward perspective. I'm sure they've got reasons behind it backed up with whatever analytics, but yeah, I don't fully get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago No engineers or operators saying the ride is closed.... Most likely waiting for a part. Rumour has it that it will be closed until early May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelAllen Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Looks like Stealth was being worked on today by engineers. Hopefully it’ll be back sooner rather than later. Strangely Rita is also closed for extended maintenance at the moment. Neither coasters seem to be having much luck at the moment. I wonder if they’re related?

Jax Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Interesting that Rita is closed too.... Kingda Ka must have put a hex on it or something lol. Good to see engineers working on Stealth today as you mentioned, maybe the part has arrived that they need, and hopefully it's opens sooner.
