    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    I think drones are a real accident waiting to happen. I don't know all the rules but it seems that it is perfectly legal to fly one 50 meters away over the park below 250 grams in weight? All theme parks should be no fly zones surely.

    Good video does sound very likely that could be the problem.. So at 8:50 he is suggesting the very top of the lift hill could be taken back down to replace the sprockets?! Scenes when The Big One gets its record back, Jack Silkstones construction videos can return and we get another Hyperia...

    Shame they won't be sharing what's actually wrong but that's a relief she will be exactly the same as on opening day and no changes will be made. Was not looking forward to all the people that have already ridden Hyperia saying how much better OG Hyperia was.

    Yeah glad that has been confirmed it’s not real. Looks like Thorpe are soon to make a video with what’s actually wrong with it which will stop anymore rumours. https://x.com/thorpepark/status/1795489903402168468?s=46 Fair play if they do as TP did say they are going to be “open and...

    Shame for BPB sea levels are rising rather than lowering or The Big one would naturally get its record back.

    That wasn’t rubbish, that was genuine opening day Hyperia confetti!! [emoji23] If they manage to get it open 29th May that isn’t the end of the world but that is certainly going to ruin many peoples bank holiday weekend trips. Can’t be helped, the Thorpe team must be gutted after such a great...

    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?

    Why queue for hours?

    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?

    Croc Drop style tower to replace Gardaland's Sequoia Adventure (page 3)

    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...
