Gotta love Alton Towers. Crawling to the end of the season, Rita opening for 4 hours a day like it’s some kind of seasonal rapids ride.
I can’t believe people still defend the place either. Its track record for the past five years has been atrocious.
Mako, Apollos Chariot, Silver Star, Shambhala and Hollywood Dream are continuing to run without seatbelts.
Which says that this isn't a restraint issue, otherwise they would all be closed and retrofitted.
I have no problems with seat belts being installed on the hypers. What we need to know is why the lapbar failed on a ride from a manufacturer who has never had a restraint failure before. Poorly maintained seatbelts also fail.
@silverwoodpd Did you get to the turnstile then act surprised that you have to scan your ticket, then spend the next 5 minutes pissing about trying to find your ticket whilst holding up everyone behind you?
