People speculated then that it would close but it still turned out fine. There's really nothing to worry about as stated, as if it's not open for the May half term, it'll deffo be back up before the summer holidays :3 Ah right that’s great news. Thanks for that 😊
May 15May 15 comment_325380 Does anyone think that now they've closed the area off, the part should be arriving any day now and want to secure the area for them to fix it?

They close the area off for simplicity. Minimises staff required for the area, and less ground space to cover for other members of staff (cleaning, security, etc)

May 18May 18 comment_325429 Anybody at the park today? Planning on going on Thursday so if it's testing again, then it's a good sign

May 18May 18 comment_325435 I'm going on Thursday so hopefully it'll be open. Makes sense that they might open it at the start of a new week

May 18May 18 comment_325447 Thanks for the encouraging comments folks.........I am suffering withdrawal symptoms, so keeping a close eye on things.
May 19May 19 comment_325456 Aaaand Rita's only gone and reopened. If only Stealth could take notes.. 😮💨

I was going to go to Thorpe Wednesday but I'm going tomorrow instead as the weather doesn't look good for Wednesday. I'll have a look if anything is going on with Stealth while I'm there. It's really annoying though because I have to drive 3 hrs to get to Thorpe as I live 160 miles away. Although Alton Towers is only about 35-40 mins away from me. I prefer Thorpe as I've been to Alton Towers too many times now haha.

But on Saturday one train was in the unload section and one was in the brake run section. The train can't get to the brake run section unless it's gone round and completed the circuit or they've moved the train from the unload section for the other train to be on the brake run. This indicates it tested and was confirmed to have tested by someone I know who works at the park. Given Rita had been testing last week and just reopened, I shouldn't think it'll be too long before we see the REAL Queen of Speed back up and operating again 😁

We all know now they have got her working again but I'm not sure what is actually going on now because today there's no action at all. I could only think either they tested and another fault has come up or there doing some final checks on the ride mechanically before getting the ride tested and opened. I certainly agree that Stealth will be getting re-opened soon but for now there's absolutely no action around the ride today which leads me to think there in the launch bunker doing something or they need another part.
May 19May 19 comment_325464 I agree that they might be doing some final checks before they start testing fully. I know it's a bit different but they also stated at the time that Hyperia would only be testing on weekdays when it first started testing, so that may be something to keep in mind too.

Ah cheers Jax, I never thought about that actually. Great point there 😊
May 19May 19 comment_325466 Considering Rita took another 5 days or so to open after it was first testing again, I expect Stealth could be similar. It's encouraging to hear it testing on Saturday though!
