Operations & Maintenance
To keep our rides in tip top shape, as well as daily and weekly checks and maintenance procedures, all attractions go through a thorough annual review and service. The following rides and attractions will undergo their annual in-depth maintenance and servicing over the coming weeks and months.
Occasionally, these detailed inspections identify additional maintenance that needs to be completed before a ride returns to operation. Maintenance dates are therefore indicative and may change as work progresses. If you are planning to visit us, check our homepage or announcement bar at the top of the page for ride impact updates.

Weather conditions
Weather conditions like high wind or rain can impact our ability to operate a ride safely, and may mean our engineers recommend a temporary closure for your safety.
IS IT RAINING?
Then we may need to temporarily close Family Karts and Invader.
ARE THERE HIGH WINDS?
Then there may be temporary closures of tall rides such as the Stratosfear, Fearfall, Power Surge and the Coaster. A 30kph wind forecast at sea or ground level can double or triple by the time it gets to the top of a 150ft attraction! Direction can also make a difference.
We know temporary ride closures can be disappointing. Our team works to reopen rides as soon as conditions allow and our technicians are satisfied they can operate safely.
