October 1, 201212 yr comment_141896 It's not been the best recently , although if true about Colossus it sounds like its planned but still not good.. Although hopefully slammer will be back this week!
October 1, 201212 yr comment_141919 Just to add to Colossus, it will not be opening until Saturday at the earliest.
October 4, 201212 yr comment_141990 Just to add to Colossus, it will not be opening until Saturday at the earliest. It better be open on Saturday, I can't miss Colossus!
October 5, 201212 yr comment_142001 thenonlymreason I think they shut Colossus is to do with THE PASSING photos will come tonight
October 5, 201212 yr comment_142003 I'm pretty sure it's not closed because of The Passing? I've read about it in loads of places that it's down because it's having work done to the wiring/supports?
October 5, 201212 yr comment_142004 Colossus is closed and is likely to remain closed all week as some of the supports in the pit need some work. thenonlymreason I think they shut Colossus is to do with THE PASSING photos will come tonight It seems that there's some support work going on with the ride. Whilst it's nice to see park-wide stories and the like, to close down a major coaster for a whole week (at least) just to advertise a maze / keep it secret is overly extreme, and would no doubt annoy many guests who visited on those days. Imagine the uproar if Alton Towers were to supposedly do that with rides in the X Sector this season due to SW7...
October 5, 201212 yr comment_142005 Colossus is down for work to Colossus and no other attractions, the cherry pickers around the area give that much away!
October 5, 201212 yr comment_142040 Colossus will be open tomorrow (From Facebook): THORPE PARK Official Hi guys, yes Colossus should be back up and running tomorrow!
October 6, 201212 yr comment_142043 Colossus will be open tomorrow (From Facebook): THORPE PARK Official Hi guys, yes Colossus should be back up and running tomorrow! Result! Going Thorpe today, post some pictures when I get back .
October 6, 201212 yr comment_142079 Any news on Slammer as I had heard it was expected to open before Fright Nights. I know there's still time but it's looking unlikely.
October 6, 201212 yr comment_142086 Hi guys, went to Thorpe Park today and Colossus was open, seemed a bit rougher than usual though. All effects (including the yellow bar on Storm Surge) were working which was a bit strange. Tidal Wave was closed for a bit and Samurai and Slammer are still shut. The entrance near Ranger County (or whatever) that leads to X:/No Way Out was closed with a sign with an advertisment for "The Passing" on it. Also Neptunes Beach was shut for preperation for The Curse, however I didn't see the tent up. No effects working on Rumba Rapids but all on Storm Surge. Also notice that the music in X's queue was not on, but it was on during the ride, quite loudly as the ride ended, the same track as last year. All Swarm effects were working and the whole atmosphere in the park was buzzing a quite busy for October (fastrack!) Great day, and sorry if this went a bit of topic, will post a update of my day soon .
October 7, 201212 yr comment_142109 Not too sure what beach you where looking at but The Curse is fully erected with its queue line laid out as well!
October 7, 201212 yr comment_142115 Neptunes Beach, right? I must have missed the tent then. As you're walking back to the dome, it's on the right hand side (kinda next to Rush).. It was there when I went mid-September, assuming that they don't erect it then move it
October 7, 201212 yr comment_142116 Oh right, probably wasn't looking to be honest, I just saw a sign saying it was closed due to The Curse opening, good to see all the other mazes up though.
October 8, 201212 yr comment_142217 This morning was a nightmare for Thorpe with Swarm not opening til the afternoon, Saw having a few breakdowns, Nemesis having a breakdown and Vortex unable to stop itself. In the afternoon reliability was good though. Off Topic: It was EMPTY there today. I only get the chance to go once or twice a year but it shocked me how empty it was. Managed Swarm and Nemesis Inferno 7 times, Stealth 6 times, Colossus 4 times, and Saw 5 times!
October 13, 201212 yr comment_142467 Samurai is going back together now, all going well I guess that could be up and running early next week! Slammer testing abit more today, restriction board gone back up, I guess this will be any day now? (I hope!)
October 15, 201212 yr comment_142623 Yeah, Yesterday, first I think first ride of the day was all loaded and ready to go, but didn't happen, it was then down all day long...
October 21, 201212 yr comment_142979 Went last night nothing was closed and nothing seemed to of broke exept the passing and colossos only having one train. Samurai also is back in operation.
October 21, 201212 yr comment_142981 Man, Colossus has been on one train operation for weeks now. Shame a fault has seemingly come about at the busiest part of the season... Glad that everything else if up and A-Ok.
