TimR Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Tidal Wave has been at least working since yesterday. Slammer raised and then lowered straight away yesterday and today Loggers had water going round.Engineers were around Stealth area today.The loggers thing is weird, sam 795 told me that there was no water going round today...

Paul Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I visited Thorpe Park today, and have some information regarding ride closures and availability, that you may find useful. 1. Slammer was running complete tests runs successfully throughout the day. I can see it possible to be opening tomorrow. (I think today might have been the first day with so many successful test runs). 2. Stealth completed 2 successful test runs during the day. They obviously have the new part, and may possibly open the ride tomorrow. 3. SAW:The Ride ran smoothly throughout the day, however the ride did experience a couple of minor technical delays, each lasting around 15 minutes. 4. Loggers Leap suffered a technical problem for most of the day, however opened at around 2pm. Also, the average queue times for the day were as follows:SAW: The Ride - 20 minutes. Colossus - 15 MinutesNemesis Inferno - 20 MinutesSamurai - 10 MinutesRush - 5 MinutesVortex - 5 MinutesZodiac - 0 MinutesQuantum - 0 MinutesTidal Wave - 0 MinutesLoggers Leap - 10 MinutesRumba Rapids - 0 MinutesCarousel - 0 MinutesDetonator - 10 MinutesTeacups - 0 Minutes(Slammer, Stealth and MMBananaBoat were all closed today). Hope this is helpful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 the 3 times I went on Colossus it had a 0 minute queue every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 the 3 times I went on Colossus it had a 0 minute queue every time That is lucky, I didn't go on Colossus at all today because every time I passed the entrance the queue was at least 20-30 minutes. Normally, I would have queued for this time, but I was only in the park for a few hours, so I went on SAW again instead which was only 10 minutes. Today I was just trying to get on all the rides with the shortest queues. Also, did you see the queue for Vortex today? It was a walk-on for the most part of the day! I couldn't believe it, I have never seen Vortex with an empty queue before . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I was going to go on zodiac but I saw votex only had a 5 mins queue. Got in the queue and it was only a walk on hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Flamin' Slammer - every year since they put it in, it has failed to open with the main season, and if it has opened, it's shut within 5 minutes because of something going belly up with it.

John Smith Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Erm, sorry but you're wrong again.Slammer opened throughout Thrill Chill last year, and worked well on opening day.Yes, Slammer was the first ride I went on of the 2008 Thrill Chill. (Opening weeken- Sunday)It was really frosty meaning that the rollercoasters couldn't open until later in the day, and Slammer was about the only ride that kept going all day without down-time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam 795 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 it tested like about 10-15 times today with and without dummies so there is a big chance it will open in the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
