    With the success of the Galactica re-theme at Alton Towers I don't think some sort of futuristic theme for a coaster is unrealistic for Thorpe in the future, it opens up a lot of scope for some really cool theming/effects/soundtracks and is an exciting yet family-friendly theme that gets away from the doom, gloom and apocalypse of a lot of other rides at the park. If they decide to go with something other than a woodie whenever they next get some serious investment, it could work very well.

     

    As you said, a new coaster is unfortunately not something I can see in the near future, but this is an interesting idea.

    Who remembers this image? I agree with this, Galactica was re-themed in 2016, and this image was released I believe in summer 2017, so thorpe potentially had something technological themed in the works at the time seeing what Merlin did with Galactica. That bridge does look like a hyper coaster, and they're still using that blue/tech theme this season. I'm probably over-speculating and over-hyping this all but I'm hoping theres definitely still something bigger in the works.

  2. They have to be taking the piss calling it 'HyperSpring' fully knowing us enthusiasts would want a hyper coaster? 

     

    I'm hoping this is still all marketing for a new coaster, and I hope the park 'loses' the battle this season to the 'trans-dimensional glitch', and it turns out that land clearing on the island behind The Swarm, is where the glitch has taken over and some technological monster themed hyper coaster is built for 2021. Of course this won't happen and I'm dreaming way too big, and hopefully they're gonna put the Thorpe Farm back on that island with a permanent bouncezilla. A man can dream though and here's my poor layout idea which no-one asked for of how a b&m hyper similar to Mako could work:
