Does anyone know how often the HSE website updates.
The prohibition notice is still in place so the ride cant open to the public until its lifted.
Hopes it updates monthly and the notice has already lifted.
Opening tomorrow:D
 
@AndrewH that's what I'm trying to get at:banghead:

Doesn't matter where it stalls or where the other train is in retaliation to it. Everybody focus will be on the stalled train which will inveterately cause mass panic & create more media fuel which would damage if not ruin the ride.

I agree with you but toms point was that a train shouldn't be on the lift hill until the train had reached the second lift hill.
 
I'm genuinely really surprised that papers like The Mirror haven't picked up on the fact it's testing with limbless water dummies
 
These poor test dummies.
Does no one care what they go through!
Round and round all day. Selflessly testing this death trap of a ride. Making it safe for us.
Do they get a thank you. Or a pat on the back... No
Its a national scandle

The Mirror needs informing !
 
In that case I sincerely apologise @AndrewH :oops:

@bluesonichd I'd happily replace one of those test dummies, let them put their feet up with a brew & a digestive for a few hours & I will go round & round all, selflessly testing it:D

I don't think they get taken down from the site at all, if you look further back there is still the two notices from when it was being constructed!
 
Surely the appearance of the overly cautious 'danger of death' signs is a blatant indication that it's going to be opening soon right? It's like AT are dangling a carrot in front of our noses:rolleyes:

I know they're testing & could have put them up for H&S reasons in case some Muppet climb in the ride area for some photos after reading information from Google where it states it's "permanently closed". But surely they would have been Ride Testing signs right? Not the danger of death ones they've stuck on every !@&%ing ride & flat surface!

I'm half expecting to be able to buy it as merch soon.:banghead:
