July 13, 201510 yr comment_212976 Didn't it always use to crawl up at that speed for the first few seasons? Maybe I'm imagining it but I swear it just randomly got faster one season.
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213001 Just drove past... A car stuck at the top of the lifthill with some sort of crane next to it. Anyone know what is going on?
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213004 Possibly testing evacuation procedures? At 9PM though? It seems awfully odd...
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213005 At 9PM though? It seems awfully odd... Well they're not going to do it when the park's open are they.
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213006 At 9PM though? It seems awfully odd... Genuine question - what other explanation would there be that is less odd? Parks do checks and train staff / test out safety procedures during the season whilst the park is closed. This may also be in light of recent events, but it shouldn't be anything to worry about!
July 14, 201510 yr comment_213008 Saw could break down like that in the dark... so you might want staff used to dealing with the situation in the dark as well. Plus engineers are there till 11, maybe they were doing all there evening checks and stuff before they started training staff or something.
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213401 http://gyazo.com/59d6c0626af4756350ae3648ffb962f8 seems that it's having a training procedure according to ride on review facebook page, if I can see that correctly the front seat harnesses look like they're open in the middle of the day
July 22, 201510 yr comment_213403 Yeah yesterday they actually did practice evacuation while the park was open... At like 11am. Really odd choice to be honest, but interesting to watch it happen. Least they're being cautious I guess!
August 2, 201510 yr comment_213722 So saw is currently getting evacuated off the midcourse brakerun as we speak, 2 trains on the final brake run as well, the removal of people of the ride seems very safe and swift though.
August 2, 201510 yr comment_213723 Oh God, don't let the papers find out, please don't let the papers find out.
August 2, 201510 yr comment_213734 I'm sure some chav will send a photo to the Sun later tonight don't worry! Does anyone know the reason for the break down? (If there was one)
August 3, 201510 yr comment_213763 Probably either a fault on that brake run, the final brake run or a block section issue which seems to happen quite frequently nowadays.
August 18, 201510 yr comment_215302 I'm selling a gerstlauer cap on eBay if anyone is interested here is the item number 171898610167
August 18, 201510 yr comment_215308 I'm selling a gerstlauer cap on eBay if anyone is interested here is the item number 171898610167 Ah yes, I sort of guessed from the other two threads you posted that in.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_225358 Dunno if anyone has picked up on this yet.... but the saw spinning blades have been removed!?!
December 30, 20159 yr comment_225359 Wouldn't that just be a part of the general maintenance? Or am I an uneducated fool
December 30, 20159 yr comment_225362 ^ I think you're right. Personally I think the blades look cheap and fake and I would love to see some more realistic blades be put in.
December 30, 20159 yr comment_225388 ^ I don't think H&S would approve of anything but what they have now. As far as I know this is the first time they have been removed, which is probably for maintenance, they did get to the point where they where off/broken more often than not. What I think would be a neat idea is if they sped up as the train approached.
December 31, 20159 yr comment_225432 What I think would be a neat idea is if they sped up as the train approached. You mean like they'd be static at first but then move when a train is ascending the lift hill and go static again once the train has cleared the loop? That would be great as it would look as if the blades are part of the lift mechanism, therefore adding to the effect of the ride being a mechanical device.
March 25, 20169 yr comment_230456 I'm not sure if it's me being slightly taller (so my head's above the restraints) or the ride itself but when riding it last week it felt so much smoother than usual. I got barely any headbanging at all, have they done something to this ride to make it more pleasurable?
