Landscaping is coming along at rapid pace.

A stage has also been set up for what looks to be in preparation for the opening ceremony on Friday.

It wouldn’t be a new Merlin attraction without a shipping container.

Sorry for the poor quality but, this is straight off a fairground. Not the same gold, cheap tacky sign.

I'm sure he's very angry to have his art spoiled like this.

I don't think John is responsible for the signage of an external food unit, but that's a proper knee-slapper all the same.

The press/vip event is tonight. So expect to see plenty of photos and videos of the ride in action later.

All hands on deck getting it all ready.

I feel like I’ve said this before but the way the colour scheme is going, it feels like the plush velvet living room of roller coasters.

Have a great time! Looks like TP have a great evening planned, I am rather jealous!

Anybody know if the stage area at the end of the plaza is a permanent area for a show or actors in the area to use or is that there just for tonights event?

It's definitely going to be there tomorrow as they have an opening ceremony planned for tomorrow at 9.20.

I think for the initial period it will be there and there will be a show of sorts, but for how long is anyone's guess.

You know what, I'm starting to think their not gonna extend the layout

Hyperia looks awesome its been a long time since the last coaster but I'm super happy with what we have. Hopefully should be on it in a week or so, I cannot wait

It looks great. If the trims were slightly more theatrical then I wouldn’t mind how hard it hits them and ultimately cuts the layout in half.

I'm gonna be the one to say it then... Looks slow*


*knowing full well that it's probably an early morning test run and will undoubtedly be running faster once fully loaded and open.
That said, looks to be a disappointing amount of whip, and such a short ride time. Hopefully it exceeds my expectations.
