All depends on what exactly is wrong. Might be cheaper to fix it properly than replace it.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

If the issue is to do with the transformation of the ride, then they may have to scrap it. But otherwise, I'm sure they'll get it sorted.

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Maybe they can sell it...
Those cars are still usable to they could sell them on, or use them on a replacement.

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

I doubt there's really any others of these about to get replacements / sell on to... It would be SUCH a shame to lose it after all the work :/

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Could they still use the cars for something else?

alex · Enigmatic Expert

^ Like what? The only thing i could think of would be on the carousel like at Thorpe Park.

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I dunno, might fit another ride?
Put them around the park as seats? (or decoration)
Stick wheels on them and a handle and people can use them as a push chair?

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Wait, so from you suggesting that people consumate their marriage on Hob's Pit to you suggesting Tide Travellers cars be used as a pushchair, where do you get your ideas from?

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I think it would make a nice novelty feature. Push your young kids around or baby in a ride cart.
They're probably a bit too heavy.
Or use it as a planter, I've done that with old boats.

Got to think outside the box as they say, make something out of nothing, worth coming up with a crazy unique idea than to dump it.
Be creative.

Has this been operating at all ?

yeh, if it is going to be dumped then then using them as a planter could be nice with carts placed at different areas of the park

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Sounds like it's going to be fixed, probes needed a new part or something (like Wipeout and the train this year)
With profits up it good to see them getting onto the issue sooner than later, and not bodge it for the season as the park use to do.
As their aren't many Trill rides it's a real downer if something like this isn't operating.

I'm kinda surprised they having moved Fireball next to it, seems like the logical place to put that.

So what's actually up with it then?

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

its never been right since we had it and even worse since it was moved

mayeb that's the reason it was given to PWH - possibly it was known to be in poor shape

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

no comment !

jskinner97 · Jolly Talkative

I don't think it's in poor shape.. But it's an old ride, Like old cars they need constant maintenance. Which, I highly doubt PWH have done in the last few years...

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Is this ride in action anyone know?

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

According to FB it was due to be up and running this afternoon :?

jskinner97 · Jolly Talkative

It's not open today "Ride Update - 23rd June: If you're visiting us today - We hope you have a fantastic time with us! Wipeout and HoBs PiT are due to open from Midday whilst Tide Traveller and The Big Train are a little poorly and won't be operational today. :)"

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I thought the train was up and running the other day?
Serious problems at the park.. two ride causing trouble, another two closed all morning.... things not going very well.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Hobs and Wipeout not being open at 10am is insane....

Big Train still waiting on a part isn't it ??

As for TTT I think its on its way out... I do think I made a prediction that it would barely go in 2013..

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Big train was working yesterday, apparently.

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Yes, on the park ride facebook status it said it was back. Hopefully it's not gone wrong again :(

PWHSocial · Exceptionally Expressive

We've ordered a new part that's on it's way...hopefully that will sort the thing. More info as when guys. :)

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Yes a few bits of laying around today revealing the old blue and yellow colours !!!

This poor old ride...

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Let's hope this part does the trick. It's a shame that it's been out of action for so long!

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Is this back in operation ?

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Maintenance had some of the fence pannels removed and a forklift and maintenance truck were working on something yesterday.
