Luke_A Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Any updates on Slammer and Stealth, are they still down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Kid Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I would also love to know when Stealth isn't playing up for nearly whole days as I refuse to visit untill its working. It makes the day total crap without it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilPho Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Slammer and Tidal Wave were still down for all of today (September 16th).Stealth, Detonator, Saw: Alive were all having pretty major issues today and spent most of the day not running. Rush was out of sync but running fairly well on both swings.This is the first time this year that I've seen reliability go so badly, hopefully this is only a bad day (or week) and not a return to previous form.

Stealth was indeed being a bit of a b****! Detonator, spent more time stuck at the top then at the bottom! Also Amity side of Project link has gone back to crackles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 By project link do you mean WWTP radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Project link is the name of the park wide audio system and Ricky is basically saying the Amity (Yes WWTP Radio) side of the system was playing up. When it plays up it has been known to cut out completely in places, crackle like a loose connection or play completely different ride themes. For example last year Stealth was playing Pirates 4D on one of my visits and Samurai the Colossus Theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could of been that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Project link is the name of the park wide audio system and Ricky is basically saying the Amity (Yes WWTP Radio) side of the system was playing up. When it plays up it has been known to cut out completely in places, crackle like a loose connection or play completely different ride themes. For example last year Stealth was playing Pirates 4D on one of my visits and Samurai the Colossus Theme.This isnt playing the "wrong" music, when they had problems with the system they can play the old dome track park wide (So a mix of ambiance and ride themes) instead of having nothing playing which is why you heard pirates music at stealth!As Ricky said Samurai playing the lost city theme is normal, slammer does when the track ends to which is also normal. Stealth was running today, had a few problems which I'm sure they will get to the bottom of soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't this been said sinse the park opened this season? I don't think a day has passed without Stealth having some sort of problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Plenty of days have actually, after its initial problems at the start of the year its run very well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've been four times this year and Stealth's only been open for a full day on one of those occasions.In general though I gotta say this season has been a vast improvement on '09. Any rides I've seen down this year have generally been down for less than a day meaning that they haven't been completely unavailable. And there's the fact that the mist/lights are still working on Inferno and all (as far as I can remember) the effects are still working on Saw. I think Thorpe'll find it difficult to shake the reputation of being slapdash with ride upkeep/themeing, but the situation is improving, without doubt.

JamesB Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 So, whats closed at the moment? I'm visiting Thursday, just wanted to check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Slammer and Tidal Wave have been down for a while, and Stealth has been on-off for the past week or so but has been open more than it's been closed. If that's any help at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Just to let you all know Tidal Wave reopened today. Work continues on Slammer and looks in good shape to be open before Fright Nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
