Thomas, Rosie and Percy Engine Tours (Sodor Railway)

[Sir BobbleHatt]

2014 Thomas is running today as 2008 Thomas struggled yesterday (photo credits to Hyper coasterz)View attachment 8000

Any ideas in what way it was struggling - although I'm not really surprised when you think its nearly 20

Has anyone seen this ride whereby only Percy and Rosie are running I assume they can but never seen it also interesting both trains move at the same time when it's running 2

 

[Sir BobbleHatt]

There definitely have been times no Thomas has run but I've never seen it happen

Not sure of the exact issue but it sounded a little different and it spent way longer just sitting on the turntable unusually

Would only really have happened between 2009-2014. Nowadays they’d send out the spare Thomas if the normal one wasn’t working well

2014 Thomas

This half term, Percy has returned after a long absence.

Should Drayton invest in some open top coaches for this ride could be pretty cool and have them themed to troublesome trucks

Who remembers when Railway entrance was here

 

[Thomas]

The ride is now on scheduled times but they aren't always followed from our experience a couple of times they left earlier than stated.

I believe that for the 20th anniversary they should either change tidmouth hault to Ffarquhar (as Thomas actually runs there) or add a ride based on the little western at tidmouth hault since the area is currently dry. I believe they could do a dark ride with duck and Oliver as the ride cars and you could go past some of the west sodor scenery maybe you could go past the arelsdale miniature engines, then go past the scrap yard where Oliver got saved by Douglas and so on. I have tried to keep my idea realistic as they probably won’t put boco or murdoch on the park.

As per the Mattel contract, Drayton have to run Thomas every day. They either pair him with Rosie or Percy. Perhaps the Percy engine is broken at the moment?

I went to Thomas land the other day I stayed over and for both days Rosie was running with Thomas I believe they might don’t want to run Percy maybe to make the park have gender equality? And I mean Rosie is plastered everywhere at Thomas land and Percy has nothing not even at the hotel.

Percy is under maintaince when Rosie is running, and when Rosie is under maintaince Percy is running.

They a swapped half way through the year
