Stealth
Think they need to update the ride availability page on the website as that's a week now...

Stealth
The downtime would imply they are waiting on a part. Was running well last Wednesday, other than a rollback in testing.

The usually reliable Queen seems to be having some down time... She did rollback during testing on Wednesday and then did open, but seems to have been down for the last few days.

Hyperia
What @Inferno said is spot on - Hyperia rapidly becomes known to the public as "the ride that's never open" - and then attendance falls and doesn't hit the expected returns Vs the investment, and then you end up waiting for another 12 years for the next big coaster again. Ok maybe that's an exaggeration, I think Dezza Brown the original white elephant didn't help there, but you get my point. As I said before, it really shouldn't be this much hassle getting on a sodding rollercoaster. First world problems and all that I know -June 11th and 12th 2024 is still a fresh wound 😛

Scaffolding and crane on their way! How much must that cost to keep parked up?! Have they bought it? Either way, fair play... 20250402_152636.mp4

I've missed these signs. In a way. https://x.com/twistandsnouts/status/1907421224465994168?t=PWCssSGiP7ZnLY2zV4zofg&s=19 Just seen a video of prior to the rollback. It was SO close to making it. Yikes. Hyperia team asking people not to take videos or photos, instructed by management. I feel for them.

Hyperia
Thanks for the concern @Cal 😀 Headed straight for it this morning, opened at 1015, on at 1035. Was hoping for another ride or two once the queue died down, it had been 50-60 minutes all-day. Stealth was down this morning and then opened at 11 as I walked towards it, it was a glorious moment entering the 5 minute queue. RIP Hyperia, Stealth 4eva.

Apologies for double post but by all accounts, Hyperia has operated successfully since opening. Hopefully the issue is now sorted...

I've noticed that Mondays especially have become busier - possibly people having long weekends I assume. But yes - mega quiet periods seem to be few and far between, the quietest is September before Fright Nights start, really.

Hyperia
Is the default setting "Delayed" even before the park opens now, or would this suggest they've been working on it and don't expect it to open on time? Or is it a case of managing expectations? Answers on a postcard.

It really shouldn't be this difficult and stressful, should it?!

Hyperia
I don't get it. It's just a lift hill, all be it a big one. Truly odd, considering this wasn't an issue last year (I mean there were plenty of other issues mind you but still).

Hyperia
She's back, and she's got a 150 minute queue. ...temporary day 15 mins later... ...now open again. ....closed again 10 mins later ...queue evacuated at 4.30

No Hyperia action today either thus far it would seem. When do I start to get nervous for my visit on Wednesday? 🙃

Hyperia
So... Hyperia has been down all day. Twitter saying a drive wheel issue on the lift.
-
Hyperia
To be fair, just deleted and reinstalled the app and Hyperia has now appeared. Great stuff at the moment...

Hyperia seems to be having a cracking start to the season after having 5 months off. Inexcusable really. Also, love the trick of not having Hyperia on the app so they can pretend it doesn't exist 😶🌫️

2025 Season
There is always the point, that just because solar panels are there, doesn't mean they are actually working, of course.

Also have to wonder if/when the Galactica retheme is going to happen, as it was seemingly planned for this year... it sticks out just a tad now...
-
2025 Season
Yes, this decision troubles me greatly 🙃 Selfishly, am of course hoping Stealth is sorted for my visit in 2 weeks!

100%. You have to take a step back from being an enthusiast and see what the public see. Nemesis is still Nemesis, as good as it is.
