sully1311 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Did anyone visit today? If yes, is Stealth closed (iPhone App says closed, Website has no mention of it being closed, only Samurai) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 It was shut early on but opened late.Samurai still down, Inferno had problems, Tidal Wave got stuck and Surge had a few problems. 5 boats on the lift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta, fingers crossed they will all be working by the 4th! Although Samurai looks doubtful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Inferno / Tidal / Storm surge should all be fine, Samurai is being worked on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkepticalBear Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Went yesterday, everything is working other than Samurai.I think Stealth was having problems early on as it was only launching every 10 minutes for the first couple of hours (despite a 30 minute queue).. then normal service resumed.

Fred Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I am REALLY surprised they haven't got someone draining the boats constantly. Though I don't know the loading procedure, but surely they have time to remove at least a little bit of water from each boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 What happened to the water vacuums people said hadn't arrived in time for AP day? Dan9 and James6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Its probably been worked out its just as quick to tip the boat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 ^ Well then they need to sort something out because I didn't get wet at all on Storm Surge other than completely sodden feet... Not nice at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Its probably been worked out its just as quick to tip the boat..So they're choosing their own convenience over guest comfort? And you all wonder why people slam Thorpe so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So they're choosing their own convenience over guest comfort? And you all wonder why people slam Thorpe so much. Those hoovers are useless to be honest. It would take about 20 minutes to clean Sea Dragons with those sodding hoovers so in all honesty I'm not surprised they've gone for tipping the boats instead.

Jord Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Why not have a plug hole in the bottom of the boats you can like open and let all the water out... Seems sensible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So they're choosing their own convenience over guest comfort? And you all wonder why people slam Thorpe so much. Err... Their own convenience? You do realise that the longer they spend hovering boats the longer the queue would not move... So id say the quickest soloution is in the intrest of the guests just as much as the staff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems sensible...The undesiables may notice the plug during the ride and decide to open it when the boats floating back to the station.It would be a 21st century version of the Titanic.

So id say the quickest soloution is in the intrest of the guests just as much as the staff..Well to be fair, your wording was 'its just as quick to tip the boat'. Honestly, I would have no idea how this hoover system would work exactly but from your post all I know about it is that it takes the same amount of time as tipping it out. Mark9 has already corrected me but you are giving me totally different information here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'd rather wait that extra 10 minutes and not be sitting in a boat full of water to be honestBut they are getting rid of the water if they're tipping the boats.. are they not doing that anymore?

Marc Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 But they are getting rid of the water if they're tipping the boats.. are they not doing that anymore?Yes they are when they need doing.And dan my bad, id say its much quicker to tip them, the hover would need them to dismantle the boats, hover out and put them back togeather, tipping is a simple tip over and put the bits back in.

Ryan Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I only ever saw them tip the boats on AP day..I've got in a boat full of water and it wasn't nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 They were tipping them when I was last there on sunday too, they are tipped less often than they were on AP day though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's undesirables doing it, then I see no problem with letting them drown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
