MattyMoo

Seeing it from the M3/M25 junction today did make me more excited.
 
Doubt any competition members would honestly believe they'd be the first riders. Public maybe, but given Merlin's love of a "celeb" night and the boy's club Thorpe is becoming was never gonna happen.

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?

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!
 

I heard there might also be some kind of restraint. 🫣

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.

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.

Best thing about the testing was the cheers from the crowds as the train went down the first drop. 
 
The sense of community from things like this is never better then days like today.

As the OFFICIAL DG95 DOMINIC GARDNER would say. A WORLD EXCLUSIVE…

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 🙃

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

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?!

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.
