Ding dong no
 
The sky is dark, the coast is rocky, the island mountainous. Construction is far away.

Does this confirm an RMC or should I wait for the great nonsense talker to emerge with some obscure clue and babble.

Aaaaaand also the soon to be open Epic Universe!!

More insight than an endoscopy. Thanks as always Parmesan.

Still more than Top Thrill 2 though! 😉
 
(Thanks @Mark9 for keeping score)

Give us an RMC for God's sake haha

Big One by some distance. Though Hyperia should have something to say about that!!

Don't worry, I'm not back, just briefly returning to the forum to highlight what I feel is a very important talking point.
 
In a recent government report, Merlin Entertainments have been listed as a company who have not paid minimum wage.  The company failed to pay minimum to 1,100 employees, equating to £43,000.

Ride Rater have published a further breakdown of all the available info:

Flamingo Land are also named here for failing to pay 4 workers the minimum, following a previous report from Blackpool Pleasure Beach who had failed to pay 12 workers the minimum.
 
In 2018, the CEO of Merlin Entertainments took home a salary of £1,493,000.  In contrast, the £43,000 owed to 1,100 employees would have still left £1,450,000 for the CEO.  Staff rely on being paid at least the legal minimum to live off, to pay their bills.  It's shameful that this has been allowed to happen.

I feel that as enthusiasts/people with an interest in theme parks, we have to pay attention to this and demand better for the staff who make our hobby possible.

I cant wait for the next coaster AFTER Hyperia
 
Zadro the long awaited RMC!!

Unpopular opinion but I wish Thorpe had some sort of embargo on enthusiast reviews / cameras in mazes say till Saturday so others can get the true spoiler free experience.
For me there really was something magical in not knowing what was behind the doors of the asylum or curse because they hadn’t been documented to death.
 
I think Thorpe have one goal with the inviting of z listers, yes they may post about it however the stock photos used for articles across the year with the Thorpe park logo is much more valuable.

Being serious for a moment though. I sense most of the negativity towards the name is because of it being similar sounding to Hyperion at Energylandia
 
Lets be real though, what percentage of the people walking through the gate at Thorpe on any given day actually have heard of even Energylandia let alone Hyperion??

I like it, it's cool. Is it the best name ever? No. Would I have preferred Icarus? Sure. But it sounds cool, rolls off the tongue and is punchy enough. Sure it sounds similar to Hyperion (which was named after a moon of Saturn), but heyho, 90% of people won't know or care. And loads of names are met with resistance at first...in a year, most people don't mind. A couple of years, and no one cares.
 
The style is fab. The music is fab. The 'find your fearless' seems to be a spin on phrases like 'find your happy', which I'm fine with. Marketing a 236ft tall, inverting coaster with lap bars with an upbeat theme to the UK market is no easy task. This seems like the best way forward.
 
In short, happy with this. And VERY excited.

Name feels like a mixture of Hyperion and Icon. 
 
nonetheless, I’m excited for this coaster. Made by Mack. 

Did someone call for me? Oops wrong account.
