Just needs the one on the arm putting back on now, which only seems to be on 10% of the time
Oooops - that was the one I was thinking off, I have removed myself from the community for not knowing Samurai as well as I assumed I did! 😃

My first thought when it was repainted was - hope the disc comes back! Looks untidy without it.

the timing does feel tight on this doesn’t it 😬
It definitely does - I know we aren't engineers etc etc etc etc but - 39 days to go (38 days until the press event)... we'll see!

Train 2 for Hyperia isn't yet in the country and on it's way over, according to the latest SLKSTN vid... cause for concern or is it just a case of plonking it on the track when it arrives? 😄
From the latest video - it's clear there is still a lot of groundwork to be done on areas that aren't the bit they are focusing on near the station. That bit looks good though, looks like they've put shingle down around the planting from what I can see.

Fake news until SLKSTN video confirms this image is real.

^ I mean this is basically what I was trying to say to be fair 🙃

"Blind launches" were the most MAP Facebook group thing that ever did happen 😛 - especially when any MAP holder worth their salt (and their lanyard) knows exactly when Stealth is going to launch anyway, lights or no lights.

True... I'm speaking from someone who works in construction that's all 🙂

For all my fans out there, I'll be going on 11th June as had already locked this date in prior to the announcement, as there's no way we're going over half term!
-
24th May is the day then. Is it just me that thinks given the state of the site at the moment that's... a little optimistic? Tight?
Both?
The weather isn't exactly brilliant for the forthcoming week either - all critical at this point of things....

Am very impressed from photos and VEE-LOGS of all our fave enthusiasts in the CoMMunItY - however, what's a fanboi godda do around here to get those Covid yellow spot markers removed 😪

Absolutely atrocious and I will be boycotting Thorpe Park until this is rectified.

Agree 100% - flooring being replaced makes a massive difference, maybe that'll come next year? CWoA looks transformed by consistent new surfaces instead of tarmac criss-crossed by trenches where cables have been laid. I remember moaning about the state of the flooring outside DBGT when it opened, and nothing has changed since. Also, as @JoshC. said - those Ranger County floor markings just seem weird and out of place now. Surprised they've lasted this long though to be honest!
And, yes, it really really really is time for the Covid markers to be cleaned away. Really hope they do that before opening.

Definitely getting there if you ask me...

Just turn the ruddy thing off
Credit Coastersnaps on Twitter or "X" as no-one calls it.

Very true, though it's amazing what a difference fresh paint does make...
I would assume there'll be more in closed season 2024/25 - surely the next focus is Nemesis Inferno and completely refurbing the volcano.... the fact they are doing work to the queue this year would hint to me that it's very much on their radar. Maybe a SAW spruce up too, but then, they always have the "abandoned theming" get out clause there! Maybe we'll see new tarmac surfaces a la CWoA, though quite a boring thing to spend money on, it does make quite a world of difference.

The Dodgems retheme is looking pretty much the same as the concept art from progress photos so far, to be fair.

Not being funny but if it takes 20 minutes to get up the lift hill the queues are going to be horrendous and in my view this is just another way of Merlin exploiting fasttrack sales.
