Sam P Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ouch I actually wonder why Logger's Leap and Rumba Rapids are closed.Dont think there were ready it is not like Rumba Rapids to be down because it is very reliable ride so they must of been doing final checks on it. Dont think Loggers is ready either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniaa-x Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 yesterday I saw them testing rumba rapids as sam said maybe final checks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I can only laugh at how as soon as the park opens, the Closed Ride topic (which has been dormant ever since the park shut it's doors for 2008), blooms 5+ pages within the first two days of official opening.

Jamie_Hk Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 There's not much to say other than that is bad. It doesn't matter if it's Thorpe's opening weekend, that available list is pretty much the same as the Thrill Chill list. Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunky Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Rumba is up and working woohoo. The earliest Stealth will be open is Wednesday. Saw is likely to be between Monday and Wednesday so next weekend I think all rides will be working with the exception of Slammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, the day is not yet out. Who knows what will happen next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
