Martin Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have to say operation was like clockwork. Fast dispatch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thorpe always has always been good at train dispatch, regardless of whether the ride has been affected by downtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 My god. Not even a week in and its already had a lot of downtime. Does not sound too greatRides can break down at any time (and this is the first public week, it's been operating for ages before Saturday as well). It just so happens to be that it is suffering problems at this time. If anything it's a good thing, it means engineers will be able to learn about the ride and possible problems immediately, and prepare for the busier summer ahead. Better suffering problems now than July anyway.And that said, its reliability will get better anyway. Stealth had dreadful problems all through its first year, and it's improved by a lot now. I mean apart from scheduled maintenence, I rarely see it down for whole days now. So as the staff learn more about it, reliability will improve and it won't suffer as many problems as it is now .(hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 It had some downtime, it's a bran new ride you HAVE to expect that. However, apart from the odd glitch here and there (which could even be an issue with a guest, or what they have eaten..), the ride is currently available, right? No problem then.

Louis Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 People seem to be forgetting that SAW isnt the only ride to have problems on their opening day. I think it was Farenheit. It valleyed during testing and opened 8 hours later than it should have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I went on SAW today as well. When we got to the offload platform and got out, the ride broke down . I couldn't help but feel sorry for everyone who was waiting in the queue . How long did you guys have to wait for SAW?Also, I couldn't believe how great SAW is! Not just the ride, but the themeing as well. Top notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 That video actually wound me up. listen to the people around. "It's not funny!" and "If they can't get it working...". It's a breakdown and they are in no danger. Grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Hk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 That is bad though. The ride's had nothing but problems since last thursday/friday/saturday. I know all rides experience difficulties but yeah, this is just one unlucky ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's because is an 'S' ride.Slammer, Stealth both had problems and now SAW.Hmmm when will Thorpe learn to stop calling their new rides anything that begins with S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
