JoshC. Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Do believe there was a black 'crane' (not sure of the exact word for it ) on the Slammer site today. Should hopefully be up before end of season if it was doibg something that isn't dismantling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 And how do you know that Josh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Know what exactly? If you're talking about the crane, as I passed the park to go to Staines today, I was the 'crane' in the park, in the position of where Slammer is.If you're talking about when it will re-open, I was only guessing, as I obviously had no idea what it was doing. Though I can't see work being done on Slammer to make it operational now unless they want to reopen it before end of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Cranes have been in and out the last few weeks tho so I'm not sure if it will mean anything. But I guess you never know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniShinny Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Agreed. If they didn't want it to be opened by the end of the season then they would just wait untill the closed season to repair slammer. So that sounds good for it opening at somepoint during Fright Nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yes there was a crane on the Slammer site today, (as I visited today); it seemed to be taking parts from the top of each tower. The entrance side of seats are currently not on the ride and it is looking like the ride will not be open for a while yet. There were hoses layed on the floor and lots of workmen taking and replacing parts of the ride. Other than Slammer though, all other rides were up and X:\ still has it's lights on.

I;d be very worried for my safety if those large reinforced steel cables were hosepipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I don't think they were the cables, I think they were the pneumatic pipes that hold the compressed air, they had links on them and were only about 2-3m long each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheza Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 YES :DSlammer was working today. They did quite a few tests and we got there just after they finished a test but then it was in full operation again. Brilliant ride, I might add!

pluk Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 As a long time lurker I'd say this is the most useful topic if it's kept up to date, I know it's what I'm alwys looking at the weeks before a visit and is a whole lot easier than trawling through the ride topics to see where the problems are.Anyway, I went the day before yesterday. The only closed ride was samurai which was mating with it's little blue crane all day (as usual. How those two haven't had little mechanical babies yet is beyond me). I didn't see anything else down all day, except for stealth opening a couple of hours late. So not too bad at the mo.

sully1311 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 According to the iPhone app, Stealth is now also closed along with Samurai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
