It depends on if it exceeds Mack’s wind speed limit requirement for it to operate, doesn’t it? I assume that they’d go by the same limit when testing as they would when operating, wouldn’t they?Very unlikely to test today.
It's windy round the local area, the park have closed several rides for a prolonged period of time due to the wind. Not to say that would stop testing, but it increases risk.
Weather is also set to be similar tomorrow. So the park may have to reach a point where they go "Regardless of the weather, we have to test it now", depending on their schedule.
No doubt it is close though.

Iphone app is showing gusts drop to below 30mph from 11am in Staines, with average speeds of around 16mph... From 2:30 those gusts drop to just 25mph...From what I now understand:
Today was the plan, but put off due to weather.
If today was the plan, it naturally follows that tomorrow will be the target. But again, if weather prove tricky (similar wind speeds are expected), it may again not happen.
I saw on Twitter that someone said Hyperia's lift hill chain was running today, and posted a short clip. From what I can tell, it wasn't actually running, and the noise heard was in fact a whirring whistle noise that happens when the wind blows through the lift hill stairs.
No way! Looks like they did a surprise test today. Luckily someone camped out there to get this cool drone footage:
He tweeted that Staff have said that it might happen in the next hour. There’s also some big camera set ups around the park. Think this could be itIf anyone wants to sit and watch at an empty track for a few hours, now is your chance.
