Chloebell Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I can't seem to find a thread for the website, so I though I'd start one.Just wondering, does the 'Rides Currently Unavaliable' widget actually work? I have never seen any rides listed here, even when I know for a fact that they're down. Also, does the website go down perodically for additions or randomly due to difficulties? ThanksPs. I've only just joined so please forgive me if I've gone about this wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The ride availability widget does work and rides where listed on there at the beginning of the season. The rides will only be listed on that section if they are going to be unavailable from the morning and throughout the day. If a ride experiences technical difficulties during the day it will not be added to the list as rides do frequently shut down and re-open so it would not be possible to keep updating the list.Also, it seems that both the Chessington and Thorpe Park website are down at the moment. (This now seems to have been fixed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah it is updated but I dont think it is updated regularly as I didnt see Colossus in the unavailible section when it was broken down the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloebell Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. I wanted to know if it was worth checking it before a trip, but it seems rides may still be down when I get there, even if they weren't in the morning. Never mind, I suppose even if I did know what'll be down I can't do anything about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloebell Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Oh, and the Thrope website's still down, but Chessington's back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, I suppose even if I did know what'll be down I can't do anything about it Thats always the best way to look at it. The likelyhood is that unfortunately rides will experience technical difficulties during the duration of your busy, but hopefully if there are no rides listed as unavailable on the website, everything should be open from the morning when you enter the park.

Stokesyboy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think they should have it linked to the board signs so it can tell us how long the queue times are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloebell Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think they should have it linked to the board signs so it can tell us how long the queue times are Great idea! Anyway, I saw a couple of rides (slamer and stealth) are on the rides unavailable list today, first time I've ever seen it working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's still there > Grrrr... Anyone know why it's down?They are waiting for a new part, being shipped from overseas. Might be quite a wait, after delivery, installation, testing. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 It's still there > Grrrr... Anyone know why it's down?Not sure it might have something to do with it stopping at a funny angle last Sunday or it could be waiting for a new part but I don't know.

stealthtp Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Slammer is such a unreliable ride, the amount of new parts it must of had Ah well at least S&S's other creation at Thorpe is running well, for like the first time ever.Just Out of intrest what sort of angle did it stop at, so like closer to verticle, hortizontal, or the other horizontal, upside down?

Sidders Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Diagonal....ish, I think. I really hope it's working by May. I love that ride too much to miss it when I finally drag my butt up to Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloebell Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Never been on slammer personally... I think I'd be sick. Is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Never been on slammer personally... I think I'd be sick. Is it any good? Fantastic, but it's a matter of opinion. Slammer seems to be the most "Marmitey" ride at Thorpe Park along with X:/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
