Rush has hit the headlines with bits falling off witht the ride at full speed. The running part of the cables by the looks of things. Was a lucky escape by some. Link below plus video of bit flying off.

I don't like the way they've described it as "Scream park", but that's the Sun for you. Hope it opens again soon - It's my favourite ride at Thorpe.  |

Love the way the video is labelled "ride of death" a slight over exageration if you ask me.
