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.

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

Just looking at photos from Theme Park Guide... 54 days until opening? It feels like a rush to me 👀 I'm sure Thorpe Park knows what they are doing... They always know what they are doing... Right?!

Yep, Detonator really looked nothing like the concept art did it... Oh wait.

And don't forget Hyperia will have a single rider queue too. Once I've ridden with my mate for the first time, we'll 100% be using that.

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....

I've seen that Colossus has been up and down a bit. Opening day availability went to the wall when a storm hit combined with "strong" winds, but that can't be helped - at one point, everything was closed bar TWDTR, Rush and Dobble Tea Party.

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.

My biggest gripe is they haven't pointlessly renamed Vibes bar again, what on earth are they thinking? Interesting that Detty says about a "finale" - some sort of fireworks related effect perhaps or reading too much into it?
