October 28, 200816 yr comment_37658 God knows whats up with any of the rides.There was one point today very briefly where Inferno, Stealth, Colossus, Slammer and Zodiac were all down. It was only for about 15mins when that happened but it was very shocking.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37666 There was one point today very briefly where Inferno, Stealth, Colossus, Slammer and Zodiac were all down. It was only for about 15mins when that happened but it was very shocking.Shocking? Really? At Thorpe Park?
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37670 Also just wondered does anyone no what the problem is with Zodiac it's been shut for a week and a half now.Well when I went with Marc a couple of weeks back we got on zodiac and it failed to rise. They closed the ride and evacuated it. Don't know if that has anything to do with it .
November 1, 200816 yr comment_37936 Stealth is down now.Hope that it is not anything major and that they get if fixed and open for Thorpe Blast.
November 1, 200816 yr comment_37938 They had the whole stealth area blocked off with Thorpe Park staff there yesterday. They said it would reopen in the evening. It didn't <_<And Zodiac was working yesterday.
November 1, 200816 yr comment_37944 Stealth broke down on Wednesday after I had queued 3 and a half hours and was 2 trains away from getting on; they cleared the whole 3 and a half hour queue so yeah...
November 3, 200816 yr comment_38237 days getting closer.....Looking less likely Stealth will be open for Thorpe Blast.
November 3, 200816 yr comment_38244 It was broken down this time last year, launch cable frayed but it was back open for Blast
November 4, 200816 yr comment_38251 yeah I remember that, It opened at about 3pm on the Saturday during Thorpe Blast.What is wrong with it this year ?
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38533 Looks like Stealth and Slammer will not be up for Thorpe Blast tonight Does any one no whats wrong with both of them?
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38535 On Wednesday Slammer was having its restraints taken off for the start of its Closed Season work, it will not be reopening this season.
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38538 oh kool but why are they starting so soon it still really early for them to be doing it! And do you what is wrong with stealth cause I went on monady and it was fine and shut down at about midday
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38539 There starting it because the ride wont reopen, no point leaving it sat there! Not sure whats wrong with Stealth..
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38541 What so slammer has a problem anyway and cause it was'nt going to re-open they deciced to start closed maintenaince already? well I spose thats alright then . I think stealth just has days like these where one day he's working the other day he's not
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38543 oh kool but why are they starting so soon it still really early for them to be doing it!Lol not really Only two days left of season. God hasn't the season flown. Tbh they may as well start now, get ride maintainance undergoing.
November 7, 200816 yr comment_38544 Stealth had problems with the accumulators last week. So it may be the same thing this week. They may be saving it for this weekend, like they did with Tidal wave a few weeks ago.
November 8, 200816 yr comment_38636 there was lots of activity at Stealth yesterday with the staff all positive about it opening, then they started testing it at around 3ish.Several successful cycles then after about 20 minutes it stopped at the top and rolled back. The staff then announced the testing was not going as planned and the fault was still present and it would not reopen that evening.
November 10, 200816 yr comment_38732 Colossus had a lift hill evacuation on Saturday.I was amazed by the speed and efficiency of Thorpe. We saw the train on the Lift Hill, being evacuated which was done effortlessly. Then the area was roped off whilst the engineers appeared to check the bolts on the section of the drop. Colossus was back up and running in less than an hour ... fantastic work by Thorpe! Mind you they were already down with Stealth and Slammer, so yeah, the loss of Colossus too would have been their worst nightmare.
November 11, 200816 yr comment_38864 Saturday may have been the second-to-last day of the season but top marks to Thorpe for getting it sorted. Mind you, it does seem a little bumpy on the descent, when heading into the loop. This has been the case for a while now.Is this Colossus's first ever evacuation off a lift hill, and has Nemmie ever had any?
November 11, 200816 yr comment_38865 there was lots of activity at Stealth yesterday with the staff all positive about it opening, then they started testing it at around 3ish.Several successful cycles then after about 20 minutes it stopped at the top and rolled back. The staff then announced the testing was not going as planned and the fault was still present and it would not reopen that evening.On Sunday Stealth didn't even test-run once, which surprised me. I was there from 12:00pm, so I dunno about the morning...?
November 11, 200816 yr comment_38868 Colossus has quite a few evacuations from the lift hill. I've seen a good few and I rarely go. I remember one on Stealth's opening day in 2006. In fact come to think of it I rarely see the two of them open at the same time.
