Mattgwise Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 To be fair, Thorpe's reliability has been top notch this season. Sure, some rides have had their blips, and the situation with two major coasters and the new ride down that occurred is awful, but it has still been good for the majority of the season.Strange for me to defend the park's reliability, but hey-ho. It's been very good this season, and there's just the unfortunate blip...I think that this year and last year have been pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I must admit I was happy / relieved / suprised to find every single ride apart from SAW Alive operating when I went to the park the other week, saw a few empty train runs on Colossus and SAW: The Ride was shut for around an hour at one stage but everything was operating at the start of the day and still working at the end. Understandably it was my first visit of the season so I can't say they have resolved all their reliability issues but from what others are saying it has certainly improved.

Fred Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Nice to hear that their reliability is much better this year.What they need to step up on is preventative maintenance. That'll reduce the downtime, and reduce the need to replace those rare and expensive parts . Or at least give them a guess when it may go!

Pickles Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Storm Surge was closed all day. All other rides bar Saw:Alive obvs were open. Saw only had a delay to take a car off other than that it was okay. Rush on one swing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake C Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm due to be going tomorrow, anything down at the mo? Nothing on the website scroller.Everything looks to be fine at the moment. I love that now you can go to thorpe park without expecting 2 or 3 rides to be closed for the day, I think it was back in 2007 were there was only 28 days which all rides ran.Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it safe to say Thorpe are having a pretty good year for reliability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I think it is safe to say that reliability has been good since 2010 now. Basically since they stopped the february openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Any of you in-the-know people got any expectations for the start of this season, any disasters found during winter maintenance which could impact season opening? S+S twins, I'm looking at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Luckily (or unluckily?) thorpe doesn't generally find much during routine maintenance/restoration work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 It's currently sceptical whether Rush will reopen on March 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I notice on the preview days Rumba, Slammer and Rush are all unavailable. A sign of things to come?S+S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Both Slammer & Rush have received a substantial amount of maintenance over the closed season, I believe Rush is awaiting some parts and should be set to open for the opening weekend. Slammer should open as usual along with Rumba Rapids on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
