When speculating over potential opening dates, I remember it coming up that it'd be a touch risky opening right on Half Term... I know that a ride can have issues at any time but it was quite some roll of the dice. The adverts are in overdrive for Hyperia too, seen so many on TV. Not ideal, and here's hoping that it opens on Thursday and isn't delayed any further...

That time period announcement screams a broken part, no?

I can let you know after I've been on the 11th! The dynamic pricing on the website at least gives you an idea of which days are quieter. At a wild guess - 90-120 minutes for half term, then 30-60 on weekdays start of June?

Dynamic ticket pricing for tomorrow now up to £52... I think the most it can get up to is £59 then it's a sell out, from memory? Similarly though, am very surprised tomorrow isn't sold out. Going to be interesting to see how the crowd management goes, hats off to Thorpe for the prep on that one. Hyperia one shot Fasttracks are priced at £20.... I wouldn't even consider that price point personally but some evidently would and will do so. But then, if that's the case, then it's priced right I suppose!

Credit to dean8001 on Twitter for photos from today. Hurry hurry construction team, the cast of Love Island from a couple of years ago are due in 30 hours! Just spotted that the bottom photo has queue line fencing in waiting to go in still!

Sorry for double post - I see the Thorpe Park app now has accessibility info added for Hyperia. I appreciate people have sensory needs etc, and completely understand detailing perhaps what a scare attraction includes, or if there is haze, strobes, latex and such, and what a ride itself entails - but do we really need to be told that there will be people screaming, there will be audio announcements and that the queue line and station will have people in them? Or is this the level of stating the blooming obvious that we now have to stoop to, to cover ones corporate backside?

They do like to try and announce things when Merlin do - Tulleys have 3 question marks on their website. Appears Circus of Horrors and The Island/Colony has disappeared, so would suggest 2 are replacements for those and one new haunt. Wastelands extension/haunt 2 finally happening?

Don't be so negative, setting up the stage whilst tarmac is still being laid and finished at the other end of the plaza was definitely the construction plan.

12 days?

Only thing to note that the YouTube clip is titled "30 second advert" so perhaps the longer one will shout more about the height of bae.

My sentiments exactly 👀

The advert is here... thoughts?

Less story videos more nice queue pls.

I did, can't believe they've deleted it already. They were getting stick because it was in portrait but evidently that's because it's meant for the queue line screens. Didn't go much on it, and felt it unnecessary to be honest but meh. I'm just gutted I missed AIGate as I was working.

10am-8pm opening now confirmed for 24th & 25th May.

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.

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.

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.

Drip drip drop with the April Showers. Blowing blowing but when's it going going to go on the track track track, can they claw back back back. May the 24th be with us or will it not. Random Abba reference goes here for reasons unknown.

^ 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.
