Stormforce 10

Stormforce 10 was having a lot of downtime yesterday. It was open in the morning then around midday they were sending just empty boats around. There were maintenance men working at the top of the last hill climb back into the station. It reopened around 3 and then closed again sending just empty boats around then reopened about half 4. The queue was that big when we drove out the park around half 5 there was people still on the ride.
 
Hoping that the through by the waterfall section will be jet washed or repainted in the closed season. looking a bit grim right now.

I guess this is the problem when you use water from the lake. I'm sure I read somewhere that new rides cannot do this anymore and it has to be a fresh supply or chlorinated.
Stormforce 10 was the last major water ride in the UK to use non-filtered water before the new regulations came into use. Thorpe Park's Tidal Wave was the first one under the new regulation.
