Apparently booking a day ticket for the 16th March online is £59, seems a little pricey. I was just wondering if that day is also unavailable for passholders to prebook. Not that I have a pass or intend on going, I'm just interested.
They are taking the Piss, as it's only £39 on the Sunday!

Nope... Still available to passholders... (Platinum)
But then it's supposed to be, so long as they're still selling tickets, regardless of the price, pre books should remain available to platinum passholders.

Yeh I'd get one... Can't even guarantee 'non platinum' passes will still have reservations left at this point. :/ AFAIK it's only platinum that are guaranteed so long as there's capacity. :/ Though I could be wrong.
That's one of the downsides of lower tier passes that they do not make clear enough imo, the need to secure a prebook much much earlier for some dates.
(Again I'm basing this off 2022, when I could still get prebooks on the day, but gold pass friends and family couldn't get them for some busier days, which weren't blockout days, even weeks before. :/ It may have changed since.)

Another piece of track has been sighted in the car park yesterday - rumour has it that this is one of the old track pieces from the original Nemesis 
If true, it'll be interesting to say where they'll be placing it - my guess is over the old entrance sign for Nemesis (in front of the helix)

But it has the custom steel plate holding it off the ground, exact same as the new track that was delivered, maybe something's the wrong shapeAnother piece of track has been sighted in the car park yesterday - rumour has it that this is one of the old track pieces from the original Nemesis

Or to secure into the display position? Looks like an arch to me.
There is ride testing and opening date announced after the new track that follows the prior route fit into place. Casually replacing a new bit of track ready and painted in such short notice seems less likely. If we are looking for 0.01% chance takes they are making an emoji. A Nememoji! We've had the eyes & lashes, now a frown.

Yea with 2 weeks until opening day, that would be incredibly late to start replacing track pieces, would be alot of disappointed people if it now doesn't open on time.
Must be for theming and I am glad that they are using some of the original track pieces! Looks like it could be a piece of the original overbank turn.

So… The gun has been replaced with a helicopter.
Shame that… The gun was a cool original bit of theming, but they’ll have their reasons I guess.

I wouldn't have minded as much if that wasn't the X-Sector colour pallet. It's abit annoying to see Merlin once again go "edgy = black".
This also feels like a rehash of The Swarm, where all the theming elements are vehicles. At least there are tentacles on the rocks! Are they new?

There could still be more to it. Wouldn't want to see it wrapped in tentacles, like the gun. Honestly, if I think about it, what was the gun? Was it alien itself? Certainly looked like the tentacles were part of the weapon rather than taking over the weapon, if that makes sense. Why did the monster have a gun?I'd be happy with this helicopter more if it was wrapped with the alien tentacles (just like the gun was).
I suppose it's there for the new Phalanx theming but I'll be intrigued to see how the whole area will look/feel on opening day
Anyway, as with everything, there's time yet, will judge the area as a whole in less than 2 weeks time.
There's another shipping container in that image, and the best Merlin bashing you can come up with is pointing out the colour pallete (that we always knew) is black? You're slacking...
FWIW I didn't mention the container originally, as it could just have been part of the delivery package.
