Who knows No action over there today didn't see any trains on the circuit or any engineers around, likely waiting for another part now.

No it didn’t. Have been told it isn’t planned to open today too.

Good news, it'll be re-opening this summer!

Looks like its re-opened this afternoon after a day and a half closed.

New water feature in the Hyperia queue

Very sad indeed. Was one of my favorite rides when I went to Florida back in 2015, hope it can be saved. I swear they only just repainted it?

Always had a soft spot for Colossus, love the area and has always had one of my favorite pieces of theme park music. I do agree though, it definitely doesn't have the same reputation of the likes of Nemesis or Vampire and can imagine when that time comes they'll be better off looking at something else. But yeah, just interesting what happened with the re-track project as the need to re-track would still be there, but would be an odd choice to repaint the whole coaster if they needed to re-track it. An Intamin multi launch could be a potential good replacement that could work without destroying the pathway when that time comes 👀

Looks surprisingly nice that! I'm staying at the park next week so will give it a try

Stealth is back open today 😅

Was testing in the afternoon yes, and wasn't rolling back which is a good sign 🤞 Hopefully the issue is resolved and it'll be open in the next couple days.

Yeah agreed. The whole park in general is looking pretty fresh and definitely the best since I've started visiting around 2010. Colossus and Stealth in particular look the best they've looked since I've started visiting. Vortex is nearly 24 years old but looks and runs like a brand new flat... They confirmed on the passholder group that the re-tracking was a multi year project and large sections of track would be replaced. I remember them saying that track that needs replacing won't be repainted, but since then no track has been replaced and the whole layout has nearly been painted? As far as I'm aware, in 2023 they just repainted the original bit of track and put that back on rather than get a replacement from Taziker, so that section that didn't fit was never actually replaced.

Every time I see an old video of Thorpe, it makes me realize how different Colossus looks now. It really does look the best its done in years. On another note, does anyone know what happened with the re-track project? I would assume its been cancelled after that segment not fitting and not seeing any track get replaced since. If the park were doing bits of re-tracking, surely at some point soon parts of the track will come to the end of there life and need replacing?

Wouldn't surprise me. I've definitely noticed the app hasn't been updated as much since the days of the passholder group, where they were regularly asking for feedback and making changes. The single rider page on the info section still hasn't been updated to include Hyperia for example...

Noticed they're open an additional day, Wednesday 23rd April was previously scheduled to be closed but it'll now be open

Strange its not been added to the ride availability page too, they're usually quite good at keeping that updated
