Look forward to it and especially the vloggers economy it will create! I might consider going full time on tiktok live and live streaming the park daily updating everyone on each new piece of merch and food that becomes avalible!

No Hyperia action today either thus far it would seem.
When do I start to get nervous for my visit on Wednesday? 🙃
Why would you be nervous? If it doesn’t open you’d be entitled to compensation in the form of a free fast track and the right to complain on Twitter

The primary issue with Hyperia is that it does not like running empty.
When full, either with guests or dummies, the ride runs fine. Maybe a bit slow for the outerbank with only a couple of seats filled, but yknow, that's the point.
But when empty, it just crawls. The difference between an empty train and even a quarter full one is astounding. I've never seen a ride be quite so chalk and cheese in that regard.
Obviously that's led Thorpe to running very few empty trains, and even tweaking their usual post-breakdown procedure it seems. That's how big a deal this is. And especially for morning checks, it slows things down.
I don't quite know what they'll do moving forward. The risk of a stall seems to be ever prevalent with empty trains, and that's something either Thorpe have to live with, or they'll have to change. The questions are, how would they change it, and how liable are Thorpe to pay for those changes.
Could they do something to the lift hill speed based on weight? Would that have an impact?

Happy to translate Parms nonsense for everyone:
This seems like a stream-of-consciousness or playful, abstract writing that’s blending humor, frustration, and a hint of chaos. Let me break it down:
1. **"Really funny chair, really funny chair, wobble wrang, bobble brang, really funny gantry, really funny lights wheeeeeeeeeee"** - This part seems to be describing something amusing or whimsical, possibly a ride or piece of machinery, that’s not functioning in a typical or smooth manner (like something wobbling, bobbling, or spinning).
2. **"But we're spending all of it on a one that doesn't bit."** - Here, it sounds like there's frustration or a sense of waste, spending energy, money, or resources on something that doesn’t "work" (it "doesn't bit" could be an intentional play on "doesn't fit" or "doesn't work").
3. **"Oh OH there is trouble, oh they don't like it anymore, rains won't stop but cold weathers will"** - This could suggest that the situation has gotten worse, people are unhappy, and external circumstances (like bad weather) are adding to the problems. The rains won't stop, but maybe the cold will bring an end to the trouble or chaos.
4. **"My precious the jewel is mine, all mine"** - A reference to Gollum from *The Lord of the Rings*, possibly emphasizing obsession or desire for something, perhaps a metaphor for the ride or situation in question.
5. **"They'll get you in there, they'll get you alright!"** - This might be referring to people or forces that will eventually get the situation under control or cause some form of resolution, possibly with a hint of menace.
6. **"TLDR: The ride is ****** because the ride is not working. A bit, but the e-scooter is too expensive for the rules to say you can't ride it."** - The TL;DR seems to be a summary that the main issue is that the ride isn't working properly, and there’s frustration about the costs (e-scooter being expensive but still being usable within certain rules).
7. **"And soon they will all know, even the salad servers, the wrecking ball is coming, not for the whole thing, but trouble is a foot."** - This suggests impending trouble or chaos, something big is coming (a "wrecking ball"), but not necessarily to destroy everything. The "salad servers" could be a metaphor for people involved in the situation, hinting that everyone will soon realize what’s going on.
Overall, it seems like a colorful and exaggerated commentary about a malfunctioning ride or system, with elements of frustration, confusion, and impending resolution or conflict. The metaphorical and whimsical language makes it playful but also hints at deeper concerns or frustrations with the situation.
Hopefully that helps everyone with his gobble gibberish goop.

Has anyone considered a knockdown of X and ghost train and then using that bigger space to build a new rollercoaster? That would be cool.
Also I find it really lazy that the park can’t be bothered to take down the fright night signs…. When’s dead beat opening?

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...
Guess it depends on if MMM are available to do something costing 250k and then compromise and cut the budget.

Did the preview for the ride not get a night time go? If so why not?
Also looks like the ride has a bit of a 💩problem.
-
As predicted the new attraction for 2025 is landscaping which should have gone live a hyperias mid season lunch. Is there any point of going to the park this year?
-
A new rollercoaster is great news, perhaps this is a bad take but is this not just Merlin copying Universals homework with what essentially seems to be Mario world themed to Minecraft. I’m going to be able to buy an interactive wristband, where have I seen that before.
-
This is really cool lots of core memories unlocked like the boat ride over by inferno.

I went to the Blue Light day for Fright Night's the year before last with a mate - was just like the glory days, multiple run throughs with no stress!
lol this year the park was heaving for blue light. They were allowing three groups full of RAP through for trailers for every one group of main queue…… Even private events arnt a place without everyone using these passes.

I personally don’t mind its design and feel. Reminds me a lot of the Barbican and those are some sought after houses.
The thing is with Thorpe having a hotel is tricky especially in the off season, with Heathrow so nearby and lots of places avalible for conferences etc it was always seen as a major risk to build a permanent hotel structure. If this does go ahead I wonder if a midway attraction will be built in one of the car park areas or the old farm to make it feel more resorty. -
Prime area for two flat rides or a coaster. Nope let’s just put in another stage so we can but on college level dance show productions and let’s not forget more food vendors, it’s not like everyone just goes to kfc or Burger King nowadays
-
Still don’t understand why we are celebrating a new flat ride, which is essentially replacing a similar ride from a while ago…. Will a submission revamp be next?
Will be interesting to see how people view Bianca’s legacy going forward…. But I guess that’s restrained on the budget given by Merlin.

something will surf you to dizzying heights, if we can afford the charge
ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
something kinda spin, something else by them, them, all the depth is gone, creaking on and on, on
Appreciate it thankyou for the insight.

So the ghost train is now being used for indoor train track fishing. Looks more fun than the attraction tbh.
-
Imagine being invited to a content creator programme and then slating it because they didn’t allow you to film the ride therefore impacting your content schedule and monetisation plan by spoiling the ride. Entitlement at its finest from TPWW. How is getting previews and freebies including unlimited fast track very one sided towards the park. I hope they get taken off the programme and a smaller channel invited.

But why is the themeing on the cylinder being bent and broken… that doesn’t make sense!

How does an event go from getting amazing reviews on press night to disappointment?
-
Is the McDonald’s van around all event or has Burger King blocked it

Is the maze SEB endorsed or is it just going to use the murder on the dance floor song. Either way odd choice for me personally I think of SEB as a family friendly festival act bringing fun to all!
On the upcharges, it’s just to make more money isn’t it. The queues are still long and times lots don’t work. Let’s just go back to the fun years please and perhaps I’ll let you off charging me £3 for the passing…Happily going on bluelight this year so will be free but also hoping for my first ride on hyperia!Still hate the fact that the event has become this family friendly day out. I want freaks roaming the park, not dance parties as you have Legoland and Chessington just around the corner for that….

You’d think a combo ticket would work well here as long as WB want the collaboration seeing as it still sells out months in advance.
In other news has Johnny B jumped ships yet to work on the you can do whatever you like no matter the cost project yet?
