May 30, 20196 yr comment_264793 Got a quick shot of it testing today. Still looks a week or so away from opening I think, and it was making a horrible rattling sound when sent on it’s full cycle ?
May 31, 20196 yr comment_264818 Dont'cha love how good Quantum looks for such a simple flat? Thought Id just say.
May 31, 20196 yr comment_264819 Is it’s rattle worse than normal or just it’s normal rattle and shake? If it’s anything worse I really can’t see it lasting longer than next year really unfortunately.
May 31, 20196 yr comment_264820 The reason it closed was nothing to do with a rattle or the integrity of the ride, so I think that's fine.

It isn’t a noise I’ve heard it make before, put it that way!
June 27, 20196 yr comment_265083 Does the poor thing look any closer to opening now? Has it been sent on anymore test cycles? To be almost July and it still not be open with no indication of when it will open isn’t great really!
June 27, 20196 yr comment_265084 It is getting closer to opening; engineers have been working on it and it has been moving. Early next month shouldn't be too out of the question I guess.
July 9, 20196 yr comment_265231 Anyone know what’s causing the delay on Quantum? - on Sunday it looked ready to go but nothing - I heard that it was testing at some point during the day but don’t know if this is true as I only spent an hour in the park. I like Quantum - it’s pretty underrated I think and for me can be quite intense at times (it once literally made me sick after I forgot to take my second dose of anti sickness meds)!

July 19, 20196 yr comment_265410 This is thread literally calling for one of those “tier rated things” with Thorpe’s rides. I will do it later, but I am glad the park’s most underrated attraction is finally back in operation.

July 19, 20196 yr comment_265412 And it seems to have closed again after about half an hour operating!

When Quantum just decides to go out of control every now and then its like a perfect glass of wine.
July 20, 20196 yr comment_265430 As an ex quantum op, the ride has quite simply a mind of its own! Sometimes Its like a crazy outta control machine others its just steady Eddie
July 21, 20196 yr comment_265445 I’m pretty sure it’s not been open since it opened for a small amount of time unfortunately. Probably just a few things they need to sort hopefully!

July 21, 20196 yr comment_265447 Coming from someone who has no ride operator experience, how is it so unpredictable?

Quantum runs a set program but within that there are so many variables, weight, speed, the ride down quick enough to change direction at the top so goes over again
July 27, 20196 yr comment_265545 @JoshC. Do you have any info on Quantum? Doesn’t seem to have operated since last Friday when it only opened for a small amount. Is it still because of limited operating or do you know if they’ve found another issue with it? If anyone else knows anything as well then that will be great, thanks!!

Saw engineers working on it today - they were doing things with the lap bars and testing it hopefully it’s not far of from reopening again!
August 24, 20196 yr comment_266022 Visited today and Quantum is now back in scaffolding. Can't see what's going on with it to be honest!
