Considering it’s only been testing since Tuesday, it already looks like the outer bank has picked up quite a lot of speed compared to its initial runs. As much as it is short for a hyper, it is still the parks longest coaster and does from the off ride look it, especially right next to Saw, I...

Have added the date into my calendar, but will confirm closer to the time :)

It may be a little to early to say this, but it looks slow 🤣 . I really like these trains, even more outside and not over saturated.

That train looks really cool! I’m pleased it was atleast a custom front car!

Quick one, are you happy for us to post our ride count breakdown in a spoiler, incase anyone does want to record it, so long as we follow the main template?

As much as I’m very excited to know a date, and it makes a lot of sense as it’s just prior to the May Half Term holidays and the main school trip season. I just really hope it is not in vein, especially seeing that there is only 57 days left till the 24th May, I just fear it is too optimistic...

Hyperia’s wings have been added to the front of the station! In the flesh it really is a monster.

So apparently Nemesis has only been on one train today, and they’ve only been using rows 1 to 4 on it, I dread to think just how slow that queue line would be moving today.

Sorry for the double post, but the construction team have begun installing the lifthill chain.

I think Thorpe Park would like a word, Stealth has 0-80 in 1.8 seconds, whereas Maxx Force is 0-78 in 1.8 seconds… So Stealth is now the record holder 👀, until one of the S&S coasters claims it. It is a shame to see Do-Dodonpa close though.

Hyperia’s lifthill has had it’s top two support connectors fitted, and the lifthill catwalk is nearly complete :)

Nemesis Inferno This coaster will always have a special place in my heart. In my opinion it’s the best current coaster to ride at Thorpe, Hyperia may change that when it opens. For 2016 and 2017 I worked on it as well, and it was the first ride I was ever trained on, so spent a lot of hours...
