^Trains will be on-site next week from what I've heard.
Yes that drop will be one of the best in the world in the back. Prepare to be yeeted to France.
Only a semi?

Loving your signature... The 'hype' really is real now isn't it?^Trains will be on-site next week from what I've heard.

Honestly I can't decide between my 2 favourite drops in the world, of all I've ridden, and they're both at Energylandia. As soon as I saw the plans for this, that crest reminded me of their profiling. This looks like it 'could' topple them, in that you'll get that insane ejector, but then be twisted like crazy whilst actually already out of your seat. The only question is, will that feel better than the way Hyperion and Zadra sustain their ejector? I think it will, but we'll see.

The official angle of descent has been confirmed as 90 on the Annual Passholder Group.

Drove past it earlier today, didn't get any pics but the next bit of lift hill is up! Not much left to go, just catwalk, 1 more section of lift hill, one more support and topping off!

It is my understanding that trains are at Thorpe and will be taken to the ride soon.
As for testing, it should be remembered that they will have to create some form of ride area barriers, finish off electrical work, install the lift chain, etc. How long that will take is anyone's guess right now I'd say.

Someone recently asked a similar question on the Passholder Group, Thorpe said that testing would begin about 3 weeks after the layout was complete.

This might be the first coaster in this country to genuinely terrify me, not counting the innumerable janky seaside creds we have. I'm ready for it!

I know this has been said a million times, but poor Saw lmao. Looks like a family coaster now.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to go to Germany or the UK for my first international trip in June, but this and Voltron are making it very difficult!

Christ almighty just look at that thing.. Might be the most imposing coaster in Europe tbh.

I’d imagine so. I reckon that the track will be completed within the next day or two, and Thorpe Park have now said that testing will begin approximately 3 weeks after this, so around the end of March.
As such, I reckon it should be open by June if all goes well.

For the longest time I was still a wee bit peeved that we weren't getting a B&M hyper in the UK, but after seeing these most recent pictures I've officially changed my mind. I'm now glad we're getting this instead.
Just the shape of it on the skyline, it's already one of the most instantly recognisable outlines of any coaster anywhere. Just look at it!
Much as I love a good B&M, this is so much more interesting and unique than a traditional hyper layout. I hate to admit it, but I'm beginning to think Thorpe Park made the right choice here. I just can't imagine a B&M hyper, however good, would be generating this much buzz in the goon community.
Fair play to 'em.
