Jake C Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think thorpes reliabilty has been wicked this year, well compare to previous years. they could do with less brake downs in the park, you normally see saw down fo 30mins or so and stealth with a few empty trains.

rossafc Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah I agree, Thorpe Parks reliability has improved loads this year compared with previous years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobF Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's been excellent availability wise this season, as much as I hate the park at the moment. Though look back to summer 2007.... Quantum, Colossus, Samurai, Slammer and vortex were unavailable for long periods of time (although vortex was only a week I think). To what we have had this season is having all rides open everyday for the majority of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's been excellent availability wise this season, as much as I hate the park at the moment. Though look back to summer 2007....

To what we have had this season is having all rides open everyday for the majority of the time.Rides still regularly go down during the day and some regularly open late/shut early so no, I don't agree it has been 'excellent availability'. Lego and CWoA have both had near perfect availability this year with the exception of Buccaneer opening late twice, Fury closing early twice, Rameses shut for a week and Griffins down for two days - it's a lot better than the near constant shutdowns that happen at Thorpe.

Theme Park bloke Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Another thing people are forgetting that this time last year Rush had not long been open after it's incident in May/June '08. Fortunately, incidents such as those don't occur often at the park, but even so, nothing like that has happened this season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yes, sometimes, after a ride has been down for a few days, the first day it's back in operation, it usually opens later. Or it can depend on the type of ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
