Anybody know what's going on today?

I agree that they might be doing some final checks before they start testing fully. I know it's a bit different but they also stated at the time that Hyperia would only be testing on weekdays when it first started testing, so that may be something to keep in mind too.

There's nothing there now. But on Saturday one train was in the unload section and one was in the brake run section. The train can't get to the brake run section unless it's gone round and completed the circuit or they've moved the train from the unload section for the other train to be on the brake run. This indicates it tested and was confirmed to have tested by someone I know who works at the park. Given Rita had been testing last week and just reopened, I shouldn't think it'll be too long before we see the REAL Queen of Speed back up and operating again 😁

Aaaand Rita's only gone and reopened. If only Stealth could take notes.. 😮‍💨

Expect Rumba to be up soon? I don't really care for that lol.

I'm going on Thursday so hopefully it'll be open. Makes sense that they might open it at the start of a new week

Anybody at the park today? Planning on going on Thursday so if it's testing again, then it's a good sign

Things are looking up

Apparently Stealth's been testing a few times today...

Does anyone think that now they've closed the area off, the part should be arriving any day now and want to secure the area for them to fix it?

It went down for an extended period of time, most likely due to the same issue it has now, with no correspondence from the park at all. People speculated then that it would close but it still turned out fine. There's really nothing to worry about as stated, as if it's not open for the May half term, it'll deffo be back up before the summer holidays :3

The part is still probably in the post then lol, and have probably got the cherry picker there ready for when it DOES arrive. Remember it's also got to be given the green light from Intamin for it to be fitted, then it has to go through customs and all that faff. Despite what others are saying on social media, everything seems normal as this is exactly what happened in 2019 when the ride was closed for the same issue during the summer holidays. But the influencers can get their views up a but more by making their panic and bogus speculation videos. It shouldn't be too long now, and if it doesn't open soon, I expect they'll try their hardest to get it open for May half term, or failing that, the summer holidays. Hope this brings some clarity

Shame

Alrighty :3

Yes it was haha

I got a bit excited and thought that picture you sent was it testing lol

That was there on Thursday when I went

I wouldn't be too sure. They just stick random dates there. What's the availability like after that?

Good to see there's a bit of action going on (albeit small) but at least we know there's something going on.

No worries :3

The crane yesterday was in the middle of the Stealth plaza facing towards the top hat, so it may well have been. I wouldn't be surprised if the support for these older models is more limited now but I'd be surprised if Intamin providing no support at all. You'd be right in saying that the part needs to be sourced elsewhere, but hopefully it shouldn't be too long now.

The accumulator issue was what closed it before (when it was closed on Passholder Day). The issue currently is to do with the launch system itself, and as far as we know right now, is currently waiting for a part to arrive so they can fit it. As well as that they'd also need time to test it thoroughly and make sure everything is ready for operation again. I'd imagine it'd be back open within the next 2 weeks, if not the end of the month. They may have it ready for May half term but your guess is as good as mine currently. Hope this helps

SAW's station now has a brand new pre-boarding video on the TV. No longer loops Rules Of The Game like it used to.

There was a small red crane in the plaza yesterday and the launch bunker doors were open

Park's closed today so whether the part has arrived or not yet and they're fitting it as speak is a possibility.
