Joe Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermitch Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 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?

Pickles Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 ^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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 OO good point, I didn't think of that. In which case, I would actually cry, that's an insanely long ride haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Mike you are right, when rush loses power it comes to a stop quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah, it's only Vortex that goes for wildly long after a breakdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 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.

Infernus Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHW Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Today I can add I also have been on a Flying Fish breakdown, where it dont want to leave the station! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
