March 3, 200718 yr comment_6246 I'm sort of a jynx with XNWO. When ever I'm comming out the exit it breaks! I have been stuck on Vampires second lift hill if that counts?
March 3, 200718 yr Author comment_6250 Erm 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you not understand. SAMURAI AT THORPE PARK DOES NOT OPERATE WITH LESS THAN 15 PEOPLE IN ONE RIDE CYCLE! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I once was on the first ride of the day and there was less then 15 people on it.(could Be over but I'm pretty sure it was less).I've been stuck for a while on Dragons fury, But we got a queue skipping pass to come back later. Do they do that at thorpe???
March 3, 200718 yr comment_6255 Yes. If you are evacuated from a ride you will always get exit passes, not so often if you are just stuck for a while though.
March 4, 200718 yr comment_6305 Wow, you really don't get it. Are you sure it was Samurai? Not Detonator or Vortex? Because it certainly wasn't Samurai. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it definatly was samurai, unless it swaped places while I was on it and failed to notice.unless u have 24/7 cctv on samurai conected to your t.v I suggest u listen and dont try and get all experticious on me. (if that word exists) lol. listen to other people look a few posts above. other people have been on with less that 15. I think it may also to do with running cost in ratio with people
March 4, 200718 yr comment_6315 No, listen to me. It wouldn;t have run wether it's the guys first f**king day or his last. And if you keep spamming on here, spamhead, it may be your last days on HERE. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not getting violent so dont try and be violent to me. how do you explain that this has happened me to me and other people. we arnt all lying so whats the explanation? you think we are all lying?
March 4, 200718 yr comment_6324 Okay I swear if this doesn't stop I'm going to knock your heads together. Back to the topic okay?Is it possible to get stuck on the octopus gardens rides?
March 4, 200718 yr comment_6331 I think it is. It would probably be like a normal break down though. Like its controls not working or it getting stuck half way through the ride. Correct me if I'm wrong.
March 5, 200718 yr comment_6363 I now have another little breakdown thing to add to my listI had a rollback on Stealth yesterday if that counts :/. It was a great experience and it was handeled very well by staff members
March 5, 200718 yr comment_6433 So far, I've been stuck on...X:/WTF - Once - EvacStealth - Twice - Failed Launch and Stuck in Final turnaroundN:I - Once - Block BrakesColossus - Twice - Main Brakes and LiftRush - Once - Wouldn't Stop Swinging..Zodiac - Once - Didn't RiseTidal Wave - Once - Lift Hill Detonator - Once - Either Fault or OperatorRumba Rapids - 3-4 - Stopped on Lift hill, Before Lift hill Loggers Leap - Once - In station. I think thats about it.. Not too sure. I'm kind of Ride-Breakdown prone..

March 6, 200718 yr comment_6464 ^But thats really lucky. He would get the best ride on rush ever! . Would be soo fun . btw, no one ride a ride with him hes a jynx I tell ya (I'm kiddding)
March 6, 200718 yr comment_6503 Isn't Rush quite high friction though? Does it not stop really quickly? Vortex on the other hand, that takes ages to settle after the breaks fail.
March 6, 200718 yr comment_6506 I assume that in the case of a drastic drop in air pressure, Rush would have to stop via gravity, as Vortex does, opposed to the usual assisted ending. So such a breakdown is possible...
March 6, 200718 yr comment_6508 OO good point, I didn't think of that. In which case, I would actually cry, that's an insanely long ride haha.
March 6, 200718 yr comment_6514 Mike you are right, when rush loses power it comes to a stop quite quickly.
March 6, 200718 yr comment_6518 Yeah, it;s only Vortex that goes for wildly long after a breakdownYes.. if its I believe its a "shunt stop" in which all power is completely cut for the ride, hence why it takes so long for it to stop.
March 8, 200718 yr comment_6611 For Rush, It just stopped going higher, Claire said over the PA what was going on, and it took around 2-3 minutes to fully stop. It stopped rather quickly thanks to me being on my own. And for the Jynx.. Sucks that I work on rides at Thorpe then .. And its not just thorpe, its all parks. I've been stuck on Bounce - Oakwood, Tomb Blaster, Vampire, Bubbleworks, Dragons Fury - Chessie. Expedition Everest - AK, Valhalla - PPB, Pirates Adventure - DMP.. and a fair few more, So its not just thorpe I'm jynxed with
March 10, 200718 yr comment_6734 I've been stuck on Quatum once before, kept failing to stop and then we ended up stuck at the top for a good 10 minutes. Fun!
March 11, 200718 yr comment_6822 Today I can add I also have been on a Flying Fish breakdown, where it dont want to leave the station!
