Jinx?

I’m sure I’m jinxing Slammer (Thorpe Park’s newest ride installation for those of you who I haven’t incessantly badgered about it).

I still haven’t managed a ride on it. Here’s a quick summary of my attempts so far this season:

• Opening Day: Pushed back to the Friday of opening week a month or so before
• Friday of Opening Week: Originally going to pop in for half an hour after uni. Pushed back until “Easter”.
• Opening Weekend: See above (went anyway - good day out!)
• Over Easter: Still not opened
• Last weekend: Closed following the “incident”.
• Yesterday: Originally I planned to go yesterday, but according to the website, Slammer is closed again.
• Today: still closed

I’m loosing hope! Beware: don’t be organising a trip to Thorpe with me if you want to ride Slammer - without doubt it’ll be down for the day
