Yep, no chance of a March opening at this point. There's simply too much to do.
Even if the ride itself is physically ready, I'd be surprised if the area is presentable enough.

I think a late April or May opening is most likely at this point, but that's my personal opinion. The coaster should be fully built by the end of this month and then a few weeks of electrical work and torquing the bolts to specification, a month of testing and commissioning while they finish digging out the lake and landscaping.

I also don't think Merlin would want this and Nemesis Reborn opening at the same time. It would, at the very least, dilute the press they're likely to get.

The main drop structure continues to rise with more track going in and its beginning to twist.
The station is having more theming added and ground has been dug to make a little pond.
A little gate has been added.
While more track goes to the site sadly no track for the lift as of yet.

The structure for the lift hill for Hyperia is growing by the day! Since our last look at Hyperia Friday evening more supports have been added to the

Hyperia’s first drop is continuing to rise and twist. Really hope to get down to Monks Walk soon.

Thorpe Park have confirmed that lift hill construction will begin next week and take 3-4 weeks, so the track should be completed in early March:
With this in mind, I’d be banking on an opening in May at this point.

Is this possibly one of the most complex support builds in a long time? I mean the amount of supports in the lift/drop/stall/Immelmann thing is insane 
Even building it piece by piece as a miniature I wouldn't know where to start, let alone with the muddy floor they're working with and trying to fit cranes between it all lol

Decided to briefly pop down to the pathway by the lake, this evening, Hyperia really does look stunning from that angle.

Could be me but I find these new videos extremely cringey.
Just not a fan of this form of marketing, I want to feel excited to go to this place, not feel sorry for them.
Maybe i’m just getting old and i’m not Thorpe Parks target demographic anymore.

Imagine actually buying the missus tickets to Thorpe Park as her Valentines gift.
Tempted to buy them for Cara, just to see what her reaction is... (Anybody have a spare sofa?)

The "We're X, of course we..." style videos are a trend on tiktok. Don't see any harm in them being made, although maybe having them posted on platforms other than tiktok creates the cringe due to the lack of context.
Not my style by any means, but it'll find an audience and vibe when them.

But do you visit multiple times a year on miserable mid week days?
Cara would probably love it if it was Phantasialand, Efteling, Europa or somewhere 'special.'

This is the second 'I used to work at....' whinge I've had today and I do apologise - I can see how this sort of thing comes about; the 'employee engagement' lady at Alton was very nice and tried hard in what was ultimately a fruitless task.
You're dead right about the video though - I can't stand to watch things like that.

That's true to be fair, we can't push our obessiions onto others (although I appear to have suceeded with my kids at the very least...).But do you visit multiple times a year on miserable mid week days?
