Doesn’t look good if we look at the facts. We know it was operating last night past 10pm without issue. They announced it wouldn’t be opening only half an hour before park opening. So whatever they have discovered last minute they knew it was severe enough that there was no chance it was...

[emoji50] Damn, going to be a lot of disappointed people getting to Thorpe today. I just hope it isn’t anything serious to create some prolonged downtime.

6.5 hrs! :oops: Does that include much downtime or was the queue just that long?

o_O That first drop on the back row looks absolutely insane!!

Longest I have ever queued was opening day for Saw, over 3 hours if I recall and I wouldn't be doing that again. I think the only time I would ever queue an hour or more for anything would be if it's my only opportunity of getting on it. I recently queued 2 hours or more for Hagrids. I was at...

Oblivion & Stealth are mainly about those elements though? Do the extra couple turns on Xcelerator make the ride experience much better than Stealth? The longer layout of Sheikra makes the experience way better than Oblivion? I’d argue no and personally I enjoy the shorter layouts just as...

No one has mentioned the short layout as an issue yet. I would guess it packs a punch within its short layout and what it does, it does very well. So the shortness doesn’t detract from the experience. How much would a few extra turns or helixes really add? The huge elements are what Hyperia...

A more in depth review? [emoji1787] Seriously though all the early reviews so far are very positive! Not read one negative thing about it yet! Sounds like it is an incredible coaster, can’t wait to experience it!

Have a great time! Looks like TP have a great evening planned, I am rather jealous! Anybody know if the stage area at the end of the plaza is a permanent area for a show or actors in the area to use or is that there just for tonights event?

Getting their moneys worth out of the train reveal lights.

So your going to be dropping into the jaws of a wolf rather than a croc? Wonder if they will use dog breath scent pods as you descend.

Something that made me smile in this image is if you look bottom right you can see the unpainted queueline fencing then under the hyperia sign is a table with can of spray paint and a broom. Just made me laugh a multimillion pound project and you got a guy just spray painting each fence panel...

I do like the queue line fencing, way better than the prison style fencing they put on Nemesis Reborn. Unfortunately can't help but think all those orange flat surfaces on the fencing present an opportunity for chavs with a black sharpie though. We know how much The Swarm queue line has...

😂 I've been on these forums long enough to remember that topic, that was hilarious. If I remember the guy was a pretty trustworthy source at the time but just made the whole thing up in a topic that went on for dozens of pages of everyone guessing what these "stingers" tower flat rides could be...

I’d love to see what they had planned just out of curiosity. I assume the alternative plans will be released at some point. They banned anyone filming the presentation, probably so it doesn’t ruin the next VIP event they have planned. Looks like it was actually worth the £120 ticket though...

^ According to the census the population in 2022 was 187,466 https://www.bedford.gov.uk/your-council/statistics-and-census-information/population-estimates-and-forecasts Yeah but let’s hope it stays that way and there isn’t a few thousand people waiting for it to be green lit before they...

That is extemely encouraging that 92% of the locals that responded voted in favour of the resort. I will say though 6,000 responses seems quite low (Bedford population is almost 200k) Does sound like they are making a decision pretty soon whether to give this the green light. Keep everything...

What is strange is we know how much Merlin love a record or a World's First creating some pretty silly records in the process: "World's First Psychcoaster", "World's First Horror Movie Themed Coaster". Yet when they have a genuine record breaker, strangely the record seems to have taken a back seat.

Yeah doubt that is for Thorpe, can imagine that being for a flying theatre near the London Eye. Soarin over London, maybe to replace the Shrek adventure.
