June 14, 200916 yr comment_60026 .whats it like?Blimey! What a question. To be honest, there is no easy and quick way to explain it, rather than it's awesome.... go on it!
June 14, 200916 yr comment_60030 well..heads back, face forwards, hold on tight and brace yourselves,and you should enjoy it
June 14, 200916 yr comment_60032 HahaAlrighty then!! Once its back up and running, I'll deff go on it =]
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60079 ^ Me to. But when people go they expect a ride to be down as they often have a ride down most days.Err.. no, When guests to go theme parks they expect all rides to be open all day.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60092 Oh dear oh dear three rides down today Feel sorry for anyone who's there today, Queue's must be on a high on some of the big rides now which is not good when you plan for a fairly quiet day whilst little children are at school (N) Anyone Know whats up with the three rides?? Especially Stealth Because when I went last tuesday it didnt open till 1 and then it broke down again around 3 when we went to go back on it which was a bit of a shame because it was a nice breeze on a sunny day
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60097 Woah! Phew! Thankgod! Jesus I was scared of what was happening to Thorpe Park over the last few months with so little rides down for a whole day! Not the Thorpe Park I know! But thats ok, there are rides down again! Its ok, The normal Thorpe Park has returned! Yeah anyway yesterday was pretty appaling for ride breakdowns- Stealth was opening and closing all day, only open for about an hour in total then it closed for good at about 1. Due to something about the catch car not releasing from the train at the right time. We joined the front row queue as soon as it openend so the queue would have only been about 5 minutes or so, but no! Another brake down followed by a failed launch during the 2nd test run meant we waitied another half an hour. It closed for good at about 2.X closed at also around 1/2ish.No idea what was wrong with Rumba, seemed fine but closed at around 3/4ish. Plus a quick Saw breakdown and a Colossus breakdown. Saws reliability is defineately improving though! Whish is good. If its reliability was still crap with all the other rides closing then Thorpe would have a HUGE problem on their hands. Not that it isn't bad enough...

June 15, 200916 yr comment_60112 are stealth and x back up yet?anyone know whats wrong with rumba or is that open now?
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60118 Oh no, no, no. Stealth better be open on Wednesday. It's my first visit to Thorpe EVER, and it's the ride I was looking forward to the most :/
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60119 Oh no, no, no. Stealth better be open on Wednesday. It's my first visit to Thorpe EVER, and it's the ride I was looking forward to the most :/hopefully its nothing too serious and will be fixed within the next few days
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60123 I wouldnt trust the website... its niot very reliable Well they put Rumba on there so they must have updated it.
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60141 Due to something about the catch car not releasing from the train at the right time.Well, as there is nothing that physically releases the train from the catch car, that isn't right. The catch car stops as it is slowed down by its own smaller set of brakes, which begin just after the photo point. (In case you didn't know, you are at 80 mph more or less by the ORP camera). So if the train is releasing at the wrong point it will be something to do with the motor not performing correctly. Based on this, it sounds rather serious so it might be out for quite a while, however, with such limited information it's hard for anyone who doesn't work there to know....
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60224 Stealth and XNOW are open again. Just Rumba Rapids now.X:/ No Out Way?
