Ryan Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Samurai did not break down. Someone managed to kick the tree and it made his foot swell up. They closed ot afterwards. This was at the end of the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 HOLD ON HOLD ON! They gave you free saw priority passes?? Where the hell was mine?Staff should have informed you upon exiting the park, the would have been a five minute queue to the left upon exiting where you could have either recieved your free Saw priority pass or complimentary ticket.

TimR Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah I got a free fastrack aswell when you left if you went to the orange advanced tickets they gave you a free one if you had an AP, if you had a ticket they gave you a free ticket ;)I swear AP holders should get 2 fastracks since a ticket is worth £26+Ryan how do you have 6?And staff didnt inform me, I asked guest services.

Thorpe have really upset me this past weekend, they need to get there act together and quick before they start to lose customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 A wise move.All I can say to people who went ahead with their visits anyway today is told you so.Well errm no, because you said Saw wouldn't open til March 28th, when actually it was about to open today til it failed again .Tbh I'd expect it to be open tomorrow. Todays reliability was actually rather good, Rumba Rapids was open, and Saw was testing all day. And really I didn't see much in the way of breakdowns at all. Apart from the power cut in the morning, meaning half the rides opened late, but by 12 everything that was meant to had successfully opened.

Mer Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't think people should say when SAW is going to open unless they actually know 100%, which I doubt they do because even the staff didn't yesterday, I heard loads of different things and the only one that came true was that it was highly unlikely it would open. Although, TPDan is right, it did nearly open at one point. Me and some others were waiting for nearly 4 hours and saw quite a few things that suggested they had the intention of opening. And yes, I know, 4 hours is crazy...but some of us hadn't been on yet and we didn't mind waiting, was quite fun actually! I don't know where this two week thing has come from, the major issue has been sorted so it could be back open today for all we know. Sorry but it's annoying reading through this and seeing people bickering about when it's going to open again.Oh and btw staff rode it last night, saw it from the car park. They were weight testing before anyone starts complaining!!Not that it all went to plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyciodes Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Good to see it up and running again so much earlier than I'd expected! The fact that they managed to fix what comes across as a big problem in such a short space of time really is great work!Tbh if it had opened yesterday I would have regretted not going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
