Yep, that's where Jolly should go, but that wont happen.
I don't think painting wipeout is a top priority, only 6 years old?

pirate ship needs to return to its full height and i think wipeout MAY just get through 2014 then get its repaint - its not far off surely.

Yes TTT needs to get sorted too - such a shame

With Sunday eve and Mondays predicted 80mph winds here - what's the limit that Jolly is allowed to operate ? And can it withstand this wind upright ?

It gives it character lol
As long as it's not rusty I think money and time could be better spent, although I needs to be done before it get's too bad. I think it will do one more year, but they can't leave it any longer other wise it cause more problems in the long run. This is what PWH failed do to in the past and keep on top of it all.

Yeah with Fireball closed and TTT not working properly, the thrill ride selection is certainly not great at the mo.

That and Jolly is the best ride at the park. And I'm visiting soon. #selfish
