Ride Availability/Operations 2022-26

[Hid]

Not that you should need new parts for a ride that’s just come out of it’s winter maintenance period mind.

Are we sure Oblivion's Track isn't suffering from Metal fatigue it is 28 years the same age as when Corkscrew left and given it has 7 Shuttles its cycled more times

Nothing more frustrating than when you take the car in for a service, it’s all good, and then just a couple of weeks later some random unforeseen problem appears and it needs to go back into the garage.

Wicker Man on 1 train today by any chance?

With a lack of any residue signs of ultra sonic testing taking place for more advanced metal fatigue over the winter, I think it can safely be said they are very sure yes.

The highest stress parts of that ride are well supported by the tunnel base, so if there has been testing on this part, we probably couldn't see it.

Besides, track wise, this ride is relatively simple, so even if there was fatigue, it would be much simpler to remedy than say Nemesis, I would think.

Fatigue by its very nature does not apply itself uniformly, so you cannot really compare the maintenance history of one ride as a basis for the current maintenance needs of a completely different ride.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is an operational distinction between after dark dates and non-after dark dates.

Friday will be the test of that.

You are correct as the app is showing Sub-Terra, Spinball, Galactica & Thirteen all advertising 11am opening out of the thrill rides.

I don’t think the type of day is the issue it’s simply what Tech services think they can achieve clearly. It’s why it’s fluctuating on a day by day basis.

Oblivion has made it onto the ride availability page.:

Though weirdly, Bugbie-Go-Round still hasn't despite it being closed all year so far.

They may as well.just close off Katanga Canyon until May. What an absolute disaster of operations, not having Sky ride open yet given all the work on it is embarrassing as well

But then they'd miss out on the pizza & pasta income!

I mean that is over a quarter of the rides that a regular adult guest might want to experience out of action at the moment.

 

[MaxPower]

The Skyride is the most egregious on that list after having such an extensive overhaul.

If you arrived for park opening at 10am today, it looks like an adult visitor had the choice of three rides to choose from, six if you include the Mutiny Bay attractions.

Edit: And that went up to four by 10:30

Four now as Smiler has opened, still diabolical though!
