Ride Availability/Operations 2022-24

[BarryZola]

Rapids is probably waiting for a part. It'll be in the same container shipment as the parts for Hex. Innit.

What's the reason the rides are running fewer trains on a sold out day?

Almost certainly maintenance not finished.

Almost certainly maintenance not finished.

Is that something you think is likely to be resolved for next weekend?

Hard to say as I haven't seen the current state of the trains, it will probably be better but don't know if it'll be completed.

Nemesis down to 40 min atm so expect it will be very quiet for those asking about midweek visits.

They have also opened the rear row to normal queue unlike yesterday when it was for non-ambulant rap

They didn't have it closed off all day yesterday, it was just because the Non-ambulant RAP queue was huge for most of the day. On our second ride there were no wheelchair users waiting so the ride host opened the chain and let us sit on the back row.

Safe to say it's not lost any of it's intensity! Was an awesome ride

Except for when it was my turn

Did SubTerra open yesterday? Or Mine Train? Intrigued to hear if there’s been any changes.

No Sub Terra but I think RMT did.

Sub Terra was open, the odd breakdown not withstanding.

 

[coasterenthusiast]

Nemesis was incredible on the back row today! Loved every second of it!

 

[Mattie boy]

Generally quieter on park today, operations on Rita are absolutely woeful, fast track and rap queues are huge aswell, despatches are taking around 5 minutes, awful

Thats rita anyday, anytime

I did sub terra yesterday, and it seemed pretty much the same as I remember from last year. One of the towers was out of action, but same restraints and general flow to the ride.

Had a good run though and enjoyed it a lot.

Looks like Smilers died. Been down for nearly 2 hours now

 

[siralgenon]

I do find it bad that they're not updating the ride availability page now they have on the website.

Yesterday the rapids was missing some of its lifthill and Heave-Ho was missing the entire boat and neither were listed as closed for maintenance on the Unavailable Attractions section of the website.

Clearly neither were going to be open this weekend and should have been on the list.

It's just attention seeking after yesterday

 

[BarryZola]

Yep. The Smiler is now unfortunately in a depressed state after realising who was the G.O.A.T after the big Nemesis shower of love yesterday. The cream always rises to the top. A harsh lesson for Smiler fans.

Nemesis may be the king of Alton towers but it won’t be the king of the country for long
