themeparkmad Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 well for one she should of not told you that we are trained not to tell you but she obv dont care or something oh well her job lol do you remember who it was coz I most probaly work with her lol and its got various problems so dont take what she said to be 100 % true coz unfortunatley loggers leap and rumba rapids are getting very old and if I'm honest I cant see them being that ,uch longer they will maybe be replaced in bout 7 to 8 years time I reckon lol rumba is guna be redun over the winter months anyway lol wbI do know her name but she was very nice to me.Also, Sorry, I am not prepared to get any member of staff into trouble as I appreciate that she told me. Also, she made my day better as well as other staff.All I will say is that she was on CCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 well at least there will be no congestion between lost city and canada creek >_>CCR actually runs through Canada Creek only, as the barrier point closest to Samurai is the "breaking point" between the two areas. So the side of the barrier which has Samurai is Lost City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 and its got various problems so dont take what she said to be 100 % true coz unfortunatley loggers leap and rumba rapids are getting very old and if I'm honest. I cant see them being that ,uch longer they will maybe be replaced in bout 7 to 8 years time I reckon lol rumba is guna be redun over the winter months anyway lol wbI'm sorry but Logger's Leap and Rumba Rapids can't be described as 'old'. Alton Towers maintained Corkscrew, which was 30, and they also manage to keep The Flume, which I believe is older than Logger's Leap to be open 99% of the year. THORPE PARK just can't maintain their rides, next you'll be telling me Colossus is unreliable because it's 'old'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm sorry but Logger's Leap and Rumba Rapids can't be described as 'old'. Alton Towers maintained Corkscrew, which was 30, and they also manage to keep The Flume, which I believe is older than Logger's Leap to be open 99% of the year. THORPE PARK just can't maintain their rides, next you'll be telling me Colossus is unreliable because it's 'old'. Let me correct you. Loggers Leap is old. Colossus is getting older too, by 2012 it will be 10. Samurai is now in it's 10th year of operation, so that's old too. Zodiac is old, being a hand-me-down from another park. The previous Zodiac was older.Nothing or nobody is getting younger - all older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 A 10 year old ride is not old. Full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 A 10 year old ride is not old. Full stop.Well, to be fair everyone is entitled to their own opinion as to whether a ride is old or not. You might think that 10 years is not old, but others might think differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 10 years is hardly old in rides terms. Rides like Grand National, Big Dipper at Blackpool and the Scenic Railway at great Yarmouth are old but a 10 year old Top-scan is not aged or past it. Let me correct you. Loggers Leap is old. Colossus is getting older too, by 2012 it will be 10. Samurai is now in it's 10th year of operation, so that's old too. Zodiac is old, being a hand-me-down from another park. The previous Zodiac was older.So what age do we deem rides not as young but as old. 5 years, 10 year, 20 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
