Marc Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 But it could be, unless I'm mistaken its been alot worse in the past! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Just wondering what the park could actually do, mr monkeys and quantum I can accept, maybe the park being open from February to November solid is just to much for the engineers, who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well reliabilty was prett much horrific last year too, when it was open March til November, so there isnt much of a difference. Id like to add that places like SF Magic Mountain and Knotts Berry Farm are open all year, with it only being closed on christmas day (I think?), and they both have better reliability than thorpe. 5 rides closed in a day in september is bad. (Sort of 4, as mr.moenkeys hasnt actually a problem). So when we say "it could be worse", it could, but then it could always be worse, but still having 1 ride closed let along 5 will make queues for other rides bigger, and let down lots of guests who might have travelled miles upon miles to ride a few rides, only to find them closed.Heck its fine for us, we are people who already have been on these rides numurous times, but most people wont have, so 1 ride down might be a major dissapointment to them, and build up queues for other rides and generally make them not enjoy their visit as much as they could, unlike us, who dont care, as we've done it already.

Marc Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thing is to most guests aslong as stealth, nemesis and Colossus are open they will be pritty much happy, as there the rides people travel for, I dont have a clue whats going on with the closed rides at the moment but I hope for thorpes sake Samurai, Rush and Slammer are back soon.

You wouldn;'t think Toadies at Chessington would matter but people get so attitudey over the smallest things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDLewry Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 ill will be so peeved if slammer, rush and samurai arent open on the 22nd of october or the 3rd of november! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Ok we get the point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The park has impressed me with the complimentary free ticket for 5 rides being closed. It means that even though as Marc said a few of the main rides including the 3 rollercoasters were open, people get another day out of it when hopefully everythings open. Nice one Thorpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 All of the problems could be avoided though, if I'm to stick up for thorpe it will be that on there website, the first thing there telling you is that 5 rides, 4 of them being quite major are down, that must look awful to a person just looking to plan a trip.

Mark9 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm tempted to go next Monday y'know. Its weird but all those closed rides are so recent, I'd love to go where the emphasis is on Inferno, Colossus, Detonator and Vortex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
