4 days into the half term event and it appears Spinball is yet to open.
Is this temperature related or is there something else wrong with it?
Probably temperature.

Probably temperature.
Which is probably why the queues for everything else are so large if spinball has been down the entire event.
Not made it to five degrees so far since opening I don't think.Probably temperature.

More likely just fell off and will take a few months for them to save enough money for the glue to stick it back up…

Paying guests are visiting. That’s all that is relevant.

If i recall i commented how surprised i was that Dragon Fury was operating at 3C over the Christmas opening at Chessington.
Mandril and Fury currently operating at 3C, the plot thickens![]()
It was 6/7C the previous two days so seems unlikely that’s the reason.
Temperature predicted to “soar” to 10C on Friday so that might give us an answer.

There were rumours on the MAP Facebook page that it was brake related issues on Saturday. Watching Coaster Dad's vlog from Sunday showed a car stuck on one of the block brakes (16:01)If i recall i commented how surprised i was that Dragon Fury was operating at 3C over the Christmas opening at Chessington.
