I was thinking along the lines of it needing to be renewed every ten years or something...... oh my moment has passed.......Shame Air was built under Tussauds, not M£rlin, otherwise that would be funny.![]()

Yup - I think he said something along the lines of it smacking of cheap desperation during a Q&A at Nemesis' 21st birthday event.![]()

I think Varneys reaction may have been something like this.....

So after nearly two weeks there is still no galactica at the start of the Peak of the season? ? Is there any official line from the towers?

The only thing on the site is it saying the ride is unavailable today? (also who still uses marquees on their site, like really?)
I haven't used the VR yet - I didn't go last year and this year obviously it hasn't been working. But I am a fan of air so it's not a real issue for me

I understand that as long as they don't come up with more stupid excuses for poor attendance it's poor offering plain and simple

It's not a VR problem, it's a lift hill malfunctionVery true - it's not acceptable but it's where we currently are unfortunately. If I was them I would keep it as air for the season and work on it end of season - it's not a great resolution but it will keep the ride going

I retract my statementIt's not a VR problem, it's a lift hill malfunction

Well sort the lift Hill problem I bet one can be built and set up in this amount of time! ! Do merlin want it fixed for summer? ?? I get to the point that they don't care and see it as cost saving but it's attendance slashing too. So they can explain that to the shareholders

I'm sure Towers do not want Galactica to be sat there out of action and are doing everything in their powers to get it open as soon a possible.

That's...unusually optimistic for you, Jack.I'm sure Towers do not want Galactica to be sat there out of action and are doing everything in their powers to get it open as soon a possible.

Well in that case I'm sure I'll see teams working around the clock on my next visit on the Hill lift rather than poor ride hosts telling usto go to the only two other rides left in forbidden valley. Surely it would be worthwhile considering opening N:ST if it's a long term issue

I thought I heard the restraints had been sorted? . How come a company can spend millions on a ride to break within 3 years?

They broke again.
We were lucky enough to get on in between "the restraints have been fixed and upgraded" and "the ride is FUBAR, it won't be back this year" and by the time they had off loaded all the people in the rows because the restraints wouldn't work, there was more actors in the room than there was us riders.
