Regardless of thoughts, we can't deny Thorpe has by far been the best run Merlin park this year. It has been a disaster at Towers and CWoA most the year!

Misters at the end of summer is just laughable, and the awful looking cheap temporary fences surrounding them just makes it look abysmal! But still at least they are trying.

Fantastic, super detailed trip report there and love hearing following your grandads journey too. Glad you enjoyed your day.

We all know that isn't true but being misconstrued for the ride shutting all of next year to be modified to included LSMs and a spike in a major project by Zamperla. 😂

I think if the park advertised say a £17-£23 priced ticket to visit 4pm-9pm they'd gain some interest and people would then visit for the evening.

Apparently no other investment can be put forward until they have an answer to the water park so literally all decisions including Scorpion Express are supposedly on hold. It is all very strange as there still isn't a decision and planning went in late June/early July last year (13 months ago)

Single rider can vary due to a number of factors, but generally I have found on 4/5 attempts it has been between 20 and 30 mins from about 2/3 of the final straight towards the stairs, but on one occasion that same amount was over 40 mins. It seems to have been quiet pre 12 on my visits before getting longer.

The lake looks fine, it's a natural body of water just modified in size. It's the condition of the splashdown part of track that's rank. Regardless it's still amazing! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGet5KCgG/

It was definitely on one train Sunday, not through choice. Hopefully whatever the issue is gets resolved soon
-
Perhaps the crows could come back, as they aren't using that area for Hyperia any more.

After 5 rides today, it's certainly my top UK coaster and even high up in my European rankings to. We really are lucky to have this in our own country and for many of us down the road. It's a great coaster in any row TBF which is rare.
-
Was still closed as of today. Hopefully it'll reopen soon
-
Despite that, it had 2 further short stoppages of 10-15 mins around 4pm. Other than the morning issue and the two stoppages ran flawlessly. Great atmosphere once it opened.
-
It's been having a few issues of late, seen it a few times stopped on MCBR. Today it had been shut most the day and opened around 4:30pm.
