Unsure, but it hasn't been seen the last couple of seasons.

It was also doing this throughout most of last season too. I don't think it's a new issue. Certainly odd though.

No idea, but TBH I'm not a fan of any of it anyway. Nowhere near as good or memorable as the previous stuff!

Samurai has been more reliable in recent years! It used to have a traditional give up around May/june and October for about a month a piece!

No most don't but a small minority but have found it useful to know alongside!

No action at all today at Stealth. Rumba on the other hand cycling all day and then about 3pm with staff in position, so expect to be up soon.

Definitely recommend checking out Vibes Bar and Kitchen in the dome. Genuinely shocked at how tasty it is considering the mess of food a the parks the last few years.

Ghost train will still have a cast of actors. Some people have just been appointed the role.

I can't say I get the uss around RTH either TBF! Was hugely disappointed! 80 mins on a 1 train Heidi was not fun on my last visit in 23, and the nearly €4 for a can, yes can of coke as well as poor food offering left a sour taste! (which was according to Looping a slight reduction on F&B costs at the time!) I won't rush back personally.

Guess everything is subjective as I am literally opposite to your thoughts haha!

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.

Took a few hours to get going again, but was still able to get 2 rides in post 5:30pm

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.
