Mark9 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 ^ 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.

Stokesyboy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 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....
