Ride Availability/Operations 2022-25

Early doors, give them a chance!

Au contraire, Monseur Zola...at the time of your posting, most rides were actually open, with half hour queues...barring the usual planned closures, and the skyride for heat presumably.
And now likewise, nearly all open, most queues less than an hour.
Not bad for a sweaty Saturday in June.

Not that you do ride times, of course.

Can't have there being any nasty rumours.

Sorry, forgot that line.

Currently trapped inside hex

Oh god, in this heat, the only thing I'd want to be trapped inside is an iceberg.

I’d dearly LOVE to know their emergency evac plan for Hex when the doors are upside down.

I was merely suggesting that NO, we won't give them a chance

Some context now that I’ve been released from hex, there was a clunk noise and a small judder, followed around two seconds later by another bigger clunk and another judder then the room stopped spinning, was in there around 10 minutes waiting to be freed as the doors weren’t aligned

I’m with you. Park opens at 10, stuff should work at 10.

Maybe if they start telling Tech Services that the park will be opening at 8am throughout Summer, we might have things online by 10:15.

 

[BarryZola]

Is this a repeat of the malfunction that broke Hex again not long after re-opening?

I believe it involves manually rotating the drum with a large crank. And if that fails, smash through special weakened panels with an axe.

It felt like something coming off its runners, you could feel it through the benches. Although to be fair once tech services got there they very quickly got the doors back into position to get us out

Must not have been that serious thankfully, as it's back open

Get everyone to set watches to Australian time

Hex was up and down a few times today. We got stopped outside the Vault for about 20 minutes before 3pm we bailed since the techies had a look and test ride and seem bemused.

On to the rest of today’s operations, runaway mine train, galactica and curse of Alton manor opened late this morning. NST had a fair amount of downtime and Th13teen was down for a bit too. Smiler was sending one train round continually empty for some reason then went down completely for a bit. Hex I’ve covered earlier but this seems to be a recurring issue that takes them about an hour to reset when it happens. Positives are, Galactica, oblivion, wicker man and Toxicator seemed very good today as did Rapids. One thing to note is runaway mine train seems to have a few rows out of operation slowing its queues down.

They’ll have to stop operating in hot days

Massive H&S oversight…

 

[Hid]

Fairly simple solution have air con in Hex. It's actually the best bit of Hex the initial pressies are cold due to being in the Towers

I remember when a certain north Staffordshire theme park had a massive dispute with their tech services team in the mid 00s

Trying to argue they needed less mechanical techs due to more electronics…

Wonder how that turned out
