They started to paint the supports. A cherry picker was round the side so they could be painting the rest of it this week

1 of the motors must of gone yesterday as they tried to repair it

The ride didn’t open.

Out of action all day today. The adventure cove entrance by the ride was fenced off as there was a big cherry picker type thing parked up. Saw some guys working around the ride but the cherry picker wasn't extended as far as I could see.

Was meant to go today, but trip was cancelled due to something that popped up (luckily I didn't book the tickets yet)

Still closed today

Went on Tuesday , can confirm the second motor had been removed . No sign of work up there as the cherry picker was parked up behind the shockwave station.

Did this for the first time today (well technically 7 times but who’s counting (me) ) and it is now my favourite ride in the park. The theming, just everything about it is amazing. It was also walk on, along with every other thrill ride, which I thought was quite odd for a weekend.

Weird question, does anybody else get a strange feeling in their muscles (particularly face) when they come back down after being in the air, or is it just me? It feels strange, like I’m being forced down towards the ground- well I mean I am… but… just me? Probably just gravity and I’m just an idiot. But still…

7 times must be my age now but once is good enough for me. Think my daughter been on it more times than I have.

We went on Father’s Day as the park was very quiet. A lot of people celebrate this with meals and pub trips haha
