February 20, 200718 yr comment_5469 ooooh, 20 minutes at the top of ms detto, that must hav been hell . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would love it, imagine the view for that amount of time. Being stuck at the top of Stealth would be better though. Evan though I do know a few people who would get paranoid at the top of Detty
February 20, 200718 yr comment_5473 Evan though I do know a few people who would get paranoid at the top of Detty <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Least I can spell even
February 20, 200718 yr comment_5477 Least I can spell even <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lool, That wasn't aimed at you phill, But now you say it
February 21, 200718 yr comment_5493 I got evacuated from x last week lol and been stuck on samurai when a ride host I no decided to pause it at the top in an awkward position for 10 mins only me and my mate were on it at this point
February 21, 200718 yr comment_5494 been stuck on samurai when a ride host I no decided to pause it at the top in an awkward position for 10 mins only me and my mate were on it at this pointErm Samurai needs at least 15 people to run, under no circumstances would the ride be sent with less than this unless it was engineers ect.
February 23, 200718 yr comment_5534 well that was wierd because I'm not lying it was about a hour after closing time
February 23, 200718 yr comment_5535 When did this happen then? Because the ride is strictly not allowed to run with guests on unless there are 15 guests or more. You can bail out now and admit you were lying...
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5754 I'm not lying! it was one of the last days of the season cant remember when now but it was after closing time and a guy called gary was operating along with a guy called david. It was Gary's last day and david's second to last. Gary has gone and david not works on photos
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5760 How on earth can you know about that!?! You can NOT operate samurai when the there are 15 or less people on it.
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5761 Their not allowed to.. doesn't mean they didn't do it anyway. They aren't allowed to run X with the lights on but if you ask they will still do it sometimes.
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5762 Running X with lights is totally different to runing samurai with less than 15 people as its for H&S, if theres a power failure there stuck at the top.
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5763 If its a H&S thing then surely every Top Scan would be like this, now I can't say I've ever seen one of the other 3 TS's in a video with more than 5 people at a time!
February 28, 200718 yr comment_5764 It is. If theres a power failure the counter weight weighs more than the pods and needs 15 people to weigh more. If no power people are stuck 60 ft.
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5833 so then why when samurai is closed do they test it with no people. doesnt this mean thatif it does get stuck then they will close it for longer. I have never seen samurai with dummies in it either which relates to the first sentence of this post
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5846 It would be inpratical to test it each time with dummy's in, if there's a power failure while its empty, it will be stuck and will be stuck until the problem is sorted.
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5851 When its testing it doesn't matter as if it gets stuck no one will be on it to complain, tell the media, get into distress etc.. its obvious.
March 1, 200718 yr comment_5907 I have been on a Stealth rollback -- very funny :huh:Colossus I was stuck when the ride wouldn't leave the station took 20 minutesSlammer, I wasn't stuck on the ride but I was queueing when it had a problem Samurai, again a 20 minute wait because it wouldn't lower and then the restraints wouldn't go upAfter all of that, it still hasn't put me off going on those rides because they are still brilliant, just I went on them at the wrong timelike some people say, wrong place, wrong time
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6003 When its testing it doesn't matter as if it gets stuck no one will be on it to complain, tell the media, get into distress etc.. its obvious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah I no that but what I'm saying is why dont they put dummies on to simulate people to actualy see what would happen in an actual guest situation. if they test it empty it may not come out with the same outcome. if u get what I'm saying. not sure if I worded it properly
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6006 I agree, some of the guests think the rides won't be bad but with the dummies it will make them see what happens
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6127 I agree, some of the guests think the rides won't be bad but with the dummies it will make them see what happens <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah thats exactaly what I mean, the engeneers would see aswell
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6214 Do you not understand. SAMURAI AT THORPE PARK DOES NOT OPERATE WITH LESS THAN 15 PEOPLE IN ONE RIDE CYCLE!
March 2, 200718 yr comment_6222 yeah I no that but what I'm saying is why dont they put dummies on to simulate people to actualy see what would happen in an actual guest situation. if they test it empty it may not come out with the same outcome. if u get what I'm saying. not sure if I worded it properly I'm not sure why they dont, but thats why samurai does some random things like a random spin half way may well of been a windmill when its empty.
March 3, 200718 yr comment_6228 Do you not understand. SAMURAI AT THORPE PARK DOES NOT OPERATE WITH LESS THAN 15 PEOPLE IN ONE RIDE CYCLE! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok stop getting stressy! well I'm not lying so I think they did it because it was their last days and they know me
March 3, 200718 yr comment_6239 Wow, you really don't get it. Are you sure it was Samurai? Not Detonator or Vortex? Because it certainly wasn't Samurai.
March 3, 200718 yr comment_6244 Does it really matter that much though?Let me think of another ride I've been stuck on... I don't think I've ever been stuck on a ride at Thorpe, apart from the once on Tidal Wave.What does happen to me alot though, is going into queues, and the ride breaking down then.I remember one day, when literally, 6 rides broke down in a row. It was soo frustrating.
