Quick one, are you happy for us to post our ride count breakdown in a spoiler, incase anyone does want to record it, so long as we follow the main template?
As much as I’m very excited to know a date, and it makes a lot of sense as it’s just prior to the May Half Term holidays and the main school trip season. I just really hope it is not in vein, especially seeing that there is only 57 days left till the 24th May, I just fear it is too optimistic...

So apparently Nemesis has only been on one train today, and they’ve only been using rows 1 to 4 on it, I dread to think just how slow that queue line would be moving today.

I think Thorpe Park would like a word, Stealth has 0-80 in 1.8 seconds, whereas Maxx Force is 0-78 in 1.8 seconds… So Stealth is now the record holder 👀, until one of the S&S coasters claims it.
It is a shame to see Do-Dodonpa close though.
Nemesis Inferno
This coaster will always have a special place in my heart. In my opinion it’s the best current coaster to ride at Thorpe, Hyperia may change that when it opens. For 2016 and 2017 I worked on it as well, and it was the first ride I was ever trained on, so spent a lot of hours...
Thorpe Park have fully confirmed the length of Hyperia, this length will make it the park’s longest coaster. Thorpe’s former longest was Colossus at 849.996m, Hyperia at 995.4m is 145.404m longer.
Following on from @JoshC.’s update, by the time I got down to the construction site today, this piece has been assembled!
The sheer size of Hyperia’s first drop from standing right next door down Monks Walk is so very impressive, made the mistake on footwear but it was a worthwhile sacrifice...
Sorry for the double post, but Theme Park Guide have posted an update from inside the park, this view is the view I’d been wanting to see for a while. It looks fantastic.

Seeing Hyperia yesterday in the flesh the scale this coaster has already, it’s absolutely dwarfing Colossus and Saw as expected. I am glad I remembered to take my camera down this time.
