Yeah, I'd clocked this while sorting out the various vignettes for the latter bit of the trip. I was debating about taking the pass over Claviere - the scenic route, as it were - but not decided for sure yet.

That's easy then. :) Was a bit of a long shot anyway squeezing it in - I will enjoy the drive to Italy. ;)

Gah - I'll be driving past 3rd/4th on the way to Italy. I'll probably go anyway for the rest of the creds and it'll be ages until I'm back, but annoying to miss this by a few weeks...

What do we reckon they'll have this ready in a week? I'll be driving right past...

Well put. After a day or so to reflect, this is exactly my sentiment too. Great review Nicky - well put.

Oooof. That's brutal. To be fair, they probably need the rest of the morning to bring in the riot police.

Some photos from the press event last night. Nothing particularly new, and shots that others will no doubt have much better versions of, but I thought I'd share nonetheless. I'd be interested to know your favourites! And finally, and ORP featuring @Ian, @Chris Brown...

I'll echo much of what @JoshC., @Ian and @Chris Brown have said above really. Hyperia is far from perfect (the area, paintjob and station leave a lot to be desired), but as a piece of coaster hardware it is excellent. It's the best coaster in the UK for me (albeit not done Reborn yet). It's...

Well you managed that pretty well. ;)

It's now been managing just about one train between shutdowns. This could be a challenge if it keeps this up tomorrow.

Throughput was decent with two trains. Its having tech issues with one train currently, so throughput is currently terrible. Theory among goons here is that they took the second train off 'cos the queue had gone down a lot as everyone went to get food. Theory among goons, I must stress.

They have now taken one train off for some inexplicable reason. Stupid. :D

So I will say - it's really very very good. I'll write a bit more tomorrow, but it's probably the best ride in the UK, second maybe only to Nemesis (though I have not done Reborn yet). We rode in the back row and it was surprisingly ferocious!

Q1 results Apologies for the slight delay in getting this one up - don't have ready access to my desktop with all the scripts on it to generate the maps and whatnot at the moment. Anyway, it's time to check in with the Q1 results! We've had 20 members sign up so far. Of those 20 members, 17 of...

Urrrrgggggggg... the lines blur ever more. Yes the visit can count, but they should be recorded under "other attractions". Can't be arsed working out a system to differentiate them at the moment. Yeah, this seemed like an easy one. ;)

What an offride onride spectacle thing that'll be.

I decided to merge the two Paultons threads - so there may now be some duplication of stuff. Feels cleaner this way moving forwards though.

Moved to Construction.

*I hope the CF contingent isn't counted in that...* 😬
