August 27, 200916 yr comment_68002 It's not first time this season Tim, the brakes had to be replaced a few months ago ( I think it was brakes) and was shut for a day or two.Sorry, my bad.
August 28, 200916 yr comment_68201 Yep, it was open today the only ride that I didn't see open was Time Voyagers. Even at half 2 it hadn't opened, not sure if it did later on.
August 29, 200916 yr comment_68218 yeah - and TP.com still say's X is still shut but it was open all day yesterday,and Saw wasn't open first thing because of tech. problems but the mechanic's who had apparently been working on it since 5am got it up and running by about half 10 - but by then everyone was in the queue for Colossus which with only one train going was three hours long according to the ride op's announcement - but then they added another train - why they couldn't have put that on at opening I don't know?!?!? Stealth also broke down but then was up and running again fairly quickly - thankfully
August 29, 200916 yr comment_68229 Generally, on weekdays, they run the coasters with one train. They only add another if it's busy and needed.
August 29, 200916 yr comment_68261 SAW: the ride rarely opens on time, its not a problem with the ride usually, usuualy its the morning maintenance checks taht everyride goes through takes a little longer then expected. However sometimes faults occur during these checks delaying the ride even more.
August 29, 200916 yr comment_68292 I think X was shut, something to do with the air gates. It’s just when I went to Thorpe on Tuesday (the day before it was down). I and James (Jamie_CoasterKid), we both were the last people of that day to ride on X:\ WTF ……lol. Anyways before we where let on to the ride the ride op kept fiddling with the air gates, So we had to run before it shut on us (which I thought was quite dangerous as they do really push fast and forcefully) so before we were getting dispatched I noticed the air gates still kept going spazz, and the stupid ride op looked a bit confused looking at his control panel as well. I thought it was the same problem that SAW had with its air gates on the weekend before it was opened to the public(<I think). Then the op guy said “you can still ride I can fix that later on” So that’s why I think X was down for the two days, and I wonder what the operator meant by “I can fix that later on”. TWO DAYS!!

August 30, 200916 yr comment_68297 X was open all day yesterday and running fine.EDIT: Quantum is now down.
August 30, 200916 yr comment_68325 Today SAW The Ride didn't open until 11:00am, Quantum didn't open, Loggers Leeap broke down around 2pm ish, Nemesis Inferno broke down but it opened laters in the day YAY and Stealth broke down aroung 4:30 ish. Most of the ride broke down but it was still a good day

August 31, 200916 yr comment_68401 I haven't seen Quantum down in ages! First time this season.Yeah, first time I've seen it down since it was down for ages in late 2007.I saw Nemesis stuck on the lift hill yesterday, although I did get a ride in a couple of hours later. And I attempted Stealth twice, and it was down. Infact, I don't recall seeing it launch after 3:00pm. I left at 7:30pm and I'm sure it was still closed.
August 31, 200916 yr comment_68432 I asked a member of staff and Nemesis inferno was not shut due to power failure and that was a normal fault.
August 31, 200916 yr comment_68434 Oh, in Guest Services they told me they were both closed due to power failures.
August 31, 200916 yr comment_68435 Dunno, I just asked and they said its a normal fault that happened before the power failure.
August 31, 200916 yr comment_68436 It was a power failure. There a was a power surge which knocked out Rumba, Nemesis, Stealth, Depth Charge and Detonator. Loggers was already down when it the other rides failed.They would have been instructed to say it was another fault as they thought as soon as people heard power failure they would over react due to the chessington power cuts.
August 31, 200916 yr comment_68437 I know slammer got cycle stopped, and SAW was shut down until further notice.

September 1, 200916 yr comment_68488 It was a power failure. There a was a power surge which knocked out Rumba, Nemesis, Stealth, Depth Charge and Detonator. Loggers was already down when it the other rides failed.Is this the reason why Stealth failed to come back up for the rest of the day?I was there yestuday and did not notice any of that as soon as we got thereMe neither, I was oblivious to the fact of the power failure.
September 1, 200916 yr comment_68502 Is this the reason why Stealth failed to come back up for the rest of the day?Stealth was open untill 8:00 where it had a problem. We were then given the choice of Saw or Inferno to make up for it.
