March 16, 200916 yr comment_48572 Ok closed today - Stealth, Bannana Boat, Slammer, Loggers, tidal wave - and I think that was it none of the rides closed for any huge amount of time so all in all a really good day. Stealth wasnt being worked on which is a shame really love that ride

March 16, 200916 yr comment_48575 What were the queues like today?SAW was about 10 minutes max - longest q was Inferno and Colossus as their was only one train but even these were only 15 minutes, I got on saw 11 times - thats how quiet it was today (not feeling to great now!) so hopefully SAW keeps this up

I am going on Thursday or Friday, hopefully the queues will be similar to this.
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48589 Tidal Wave is now the 4th ride down at the moment.I just saw that on the website . Tidal Wave seemed to be down quite a bit last year.
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48644 I just saw that on the website . Tidal Wave seemed to be down quite a bit last year.I am glad we got to ride it when we did.Does anyone know what's wrong with Loggers Leap?. It's not been open yet this season
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48647 Does anyone know what's wrong with Loggers Leap?. It's not been open yet this seasonAs far as I am aware, nothing is wrong with it. It just hasn't yet finished its winter maintenance. As far as I know, the boats are currently being added to the track. I heard somewhere that it should be open by the end of this week. Also, it appears as though Slammer will also become available by the end of this week. Give TP a couple more weeks, and we should hopefully see the first day or two of the season with everything available.
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48649 I hope Loggers is open for my trip the good old double drop I have missed it.
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48669 I hope Loggers is open for my trip the good old double drop I have missed it. It's something about that double drop that makes me tingle .
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48679 This is a complete rumour that I have heard, if three people sit in front and nobody sits in the back the log lifts off the track on the double drop, but arent the cars attached to the track?
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48682 This is a complete rumour that I have heard, if three people sit in front and nobody sits in the back the log lifts off the track on the double drop, but arent the cars attached to the track?I don't think that would be possible. The cars are not "attached" as such in the main body of the ride, but they are more so on the drop than anywhere else. Despite this, I know that Thorpe Park do try to spread out people in each log, as to avoid possible problems like this?
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48698 This is a complete rumour that I have heard, if three people sit in front and nobody sits in the back the log lifts off the track on the double drop, but arent the cars attached to the track?it can work-maybe if 3 in the back and nne in the front,then it does lift up more than the normal spread out way
March 16, 200916 yr comment_48701 The logs arent attached, the current just pushes them along, and the wheels also guide the boat.
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48747 The logs arent attached, the current just pushes them along, and the wheels also guide the boat.Is that why they can't stop the ride to let guests board?. I'm thinking that if they stop it, it freezes the current and there for requires it to be fixed. There must be some kind of logical reason behind it.Is there a Loggers Leap topic?. I think this is going offtopic as the thread's meant to be about closed rides
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48754 The conveyor in the station can be stopped but only for a very short time before it will shut the ride down. The boats will just stack up on the entrance to the station, then on the lift hill.Or something like that anyway. Thats how it worked on Dragon Falls

Thanks James, always curious about things like that and the workings behind it. One day all my Thorpe questions will get valid ansers.
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48765 Tidal Wave is back up and running . I can still see Slammer on that unavailable rides list , to be honest I don't really want to visit again until Slammer & Stealth are both fixed, I love them so much and havn't ridden either of them for ages .
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48768 When I next visit, it will be because of SAW, but there is a rumour that Slammer will be open at the end of the week.
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48769 When I next visit, it will be because of SAW, but there is a rumour that Slammer will be open at the end of the week.Good. Hopefully Logger's Leap will be back up and running soon. I know it's not a thrill ride but I love it and a visit to Thorpe Park isn't complete without a ride on it .
March 17, 200916 yr comment_48774 Yeah, Loggers is always a great addition to my day, I love it!Anyway back on topic
