sully1311 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Good to know. Anybody know what's going on with Stealth? Taking my brother who hasn't been since 2002, so really wants to know what Stealth is like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ah, this feels like old times. Classic times of September 2007 - Quantum, Rush, Slammer, Samurai and Stealth all closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesyboy Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've heard it's a problem with one of the motors and it needs replacing but the cost of that is almost the same as getting a new one so they are pondering over wether to repair that model or just simply bring a new one in.

c1hrisin Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 If it is the same/simialr cost. I would bring another one in. That would also have the full settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 If it is the same/simialr cost. I would bring another one in. That would also have the full settings It would never be able to be run on full power. Thats the point being consistently made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 And if they do actually get a new one; what are the odds that we will see it being painted to Samurai colours or left as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well if its new it would be painted which ever way thorpe asked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 But what if isn't a new build and it's another second hand one like the replacement enterprise from Drayton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I doubt very much so that they will get a second hand one, that would defeat the point in getting a new one to solve its problems. I dont think a new one is needed or will happen, I'm sure Samurai will receive the attention it needs and be up and running well again.

Mccy Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 The parts for samurai and slammer arrived today so will hopefully be back in operation in the next 7 to 10 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daboywunda Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 The parts for samurai and slammer arrived today so will hopefully be back in operation in the next 7 to 10 days But Thorpe have already announced that Samurai won't be back for this season...

tomglazed Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I can completely see why they said that Samurai would not be open until 2013; always best to exceed expectations by opening it for what is left of 2012 and pre-warn guests that it might not happen until 2013 than promise it will reopen soon for it only to hit further problems. Guests like to have their expectations exceeded. Marc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well Samurai's page on the Thorpe website has been updated saying it won't open until next season and its been given its own picture just like Slammer. I shall continue to have faith though as it would be nice for Thorpe to exceed themselves for once when it comes to maintenence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomglazed Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 It may well be another case of them keeping guest expectations at bay only for them to open Samurai early if they are able to; they'd get a certain amount of brownie points if they manage to get the ride open and Slammer open for that matter for such a short space of time left in the season.

sully1311 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 On park now, slammer, stealth, and samurai still all closed. All toilets aren't working so all food outlets are closed and there giving away free tickets if you leave early. Swarm and Colossus on 1 train operation all day!!

Weeksy Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ouch! Total loss of water supply?? Surprised they were allowed to open! Bad news about Samurai and Slammer... Hopefully they'll cut capacity accordingly for fright nights etc! Or bring in something temporarily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
