James Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yes Markus I do believe that is what I said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siimon Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Kid Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rush Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Sadly it won't be reopening tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeRo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there from 12:00pm, so I dunno about the morning...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
