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 😊 Jax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted Thursday at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:53 PM 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted yesterday at 01:32 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:32 PM 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumba on the other hand cycling all day and then about 3pm with staff in position, so expect to be up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😁 jordionie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jax Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago 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. jordionie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoelAllen Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 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! Jax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
