I'm really confused why everyone thinks merlin rapids are going to close.

Apparently this is from the parks themselves, going by news sources.

Thorpe often reply with quite sarcastic replies, it's quite nice compared to the none personal replies that other parks often use.

Ha how refreshing. The usual "we cannot give any further information at this time" type response is so overly protective from parks, nice to see some humour. How long until people realise Twitter isn't the place to get information ..

Agree entirely. I would like them to play a little more on "Your fray with Slammer has come to an end".As someone who's not a big flat ride fan, I will miss Slammer, it was one of the only flat rides I love as it didn't make me feel a tad sick. I'll be sad to see it leave personally.
Also, there is a planned closure of Stealth Monday - Thurs next week.

Stealth seems to have way more down time than Rita. On most of my visits it's either closed all day or spends half the day closed.

Desmond Brown's Disappointment Express didn't run at all today... As much as I defend Thorpe, it is rather worrying that they still haven't nailed this.Apart from today when it was closed for 20 mins all day. DBGT however was closed until 530 then opened for the last 30mins of the daywe'll done Thorpe I say

How many rides can you expect to get on when it's a peak day in a the summer holidays. Might have to make a return trip on a quieter day if the summer is horrendous.
