April 11, 200916 yr comment_51988 Colossus is doing far better than Nemesis (Alton Towers) this seasonAs well as flinging track rust/wax over the riders, it's breaking down for day's at a time, and vibrating when it does open!http://forum.towerstimes.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23460Second page = Make's Colossus's downtime seem minimal.Is that before or after you throw in all the other Thorpe downtime
April 11, 200916 yr comment_51991 Is that before or after you throw in all the other Thorpe downtimeOh..... I'm not denying Thorpe's Reliabilty in General, is terrible.I was just kind of comparing; Colossus (A ride that is usually very unreliable) compared to Nemesis (A ride that is usually reliable)Don't know what point I was trying to make really, just thinking aloud.
April 11, 200916 yr comment_52007 I was just kind of comparing; Colossus (A ride that is usually very unreliable)It would be classed as unreliable in any other park, but for Thorpe it's classed as very reliable .
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52109 Hey sorry if someone has already posted this but CCR is now opened after continuous testing throw out the day.
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52118 Hey sorry if someone has already posted this but CCR is now opened after continuous testing throw out the day. Thanks, was wondering when it was going to open!

You can't compare an old ride, which has had track work on, with Colossus at this time...
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52215 Just got back from a week's holiday yesterday, could anyone sum up what the ride availability was like last week?Thanks.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52222 according to the official website stealth and slammer are both down
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52224 according to the official website stealth and slammer are both downThanks.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52229 Whats up with both of them ! Hope theyre fixed by thursday !whats weird is that they are the 2 same rides that were broken for ages (since fright night?).maybe its something to do with stealths new launch cable and maybe slammer just needs fixing
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52238 whats weird is that they are the 2 same rides that were broken for ages (since fright night?).maybe its something to do with stealths new launch cable and maybe slammer just needs fixingToday is only the first day of both rides being unavailable for a while now. I wouldn't worry about anything, they will probably be up soon.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52240 Today is only the first day of both rides being unavailable for a while now. I wouldn't worry about anything, they will probably be up soon.thats good because I am going tomorrow and maybe on friday/saturday
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52245 Few thank god for that Cant wait to ride them both on thursday slammer is brilliant and always has a quick que(bar fright night),and stealth is always great fun-I wouldnt wnat to miss either of them
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52248 Slammer was acting really slow on tuesday, it was taking ages to off load and on load people and then they just ended up sitting there for ages, was quiet frustrating because I could have gone to stealth and used the single rider queue a few times as no-one was on it
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52256 Slammer was acting really slow on tuesday, it was taking ages to off load and on load people and then they just ended up sitting there for ages, was quiet frustrating because I could have gone to stealth and used the single rider queue a few times as no-one was on it I always go either front or back on stealth as they are the best experience.but I have been on a rollback-thrill chill 2008 when stealth kept rolling back.eventually they loaded some people-me and my mate and they got a roll back-so they shut it.But the rollback experience is the best.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52264 I really want a rollback and was gutted when I nearly got one the other day! Got to the top and it just crept over and I think because I was at the back it felt more like it was rolling back.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52267 I really want a rollback and was gutted when I nearly got one the other day! Got to the top and it just crept over and I think because I was at the back it felt more like it was rolling back.well I count a rollback as a breakdown as it takes ages to reset and then they have to continuosly test each train.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52272 I suppose, I'd like to be on one just to annoy the rest of the people queueing as they would have to wait longer whilst they test or the ride gets broken down and then I'd be like woop woop I got a rollback when I walked past them
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52368 well I count a rollback as a breakdown as it takes ages to reset and then they have to continuosly test each train.10 mins to reset and 2 test trains is the usual requirement.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52422 maybe slammer just needs fixing..Is that why it's closed then? Stealth takes ages to reset and then they have to continuosly test each train.Continuosly??10 mins to reset and 2 test trains is the usual requirement.The time you wait, is usually for the engineers to race over to the ride. Once they're there it's a 30 second job!
April 14, 200916 yr comment_52566 according to the website, stealth should be open againI would hope so! I would be a bit scared if they didn't open it....
