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

And I've worked in project management. Zero surprise that some projects really push the limit in terms of targeted handover dates. 
 
Purely depends on what Mack says the required testing hours needed are. Which none of us are privy to (and any of those who are won't be able to divulge such information).
 
Merlin have form for it too over the years. Even Nemesis is getting stuff added to it since opening officially.

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?!

Lady Di is riding it with Sir Capt. Tom & Baby P.

I love it when Jack comes back every year or so to complain about Fastrack at Thorpe.

It's like when Steve posts every now and then to tell us how **** Merlin are. It's like a comfort blanket. 

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.

That is generally what roller coasters do, to be fair.

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.

I'll be intrigued to see if Detty gets some crazy queue times just because of the new area. Such a good little flat, one of Thorpe's most bang-for-their-buck additions.

Just turn the ruddy thing off

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?

Slammer is confirmed by the parks social media team to be going at the end of this year. 
 

 
I say go ahead with that B&M hyper by putting the station there and change layout to send it round the outside of Hyperia and up monks walk to the old treasure island and back 😂.
