Hyperia is definitely themed... I thought as much before riding, now after riding, I'm certain it's definitely themed. It's lightly themed, for sure, and the theming only occurs pre ride, like almost every other coaster in the UK, but it has a story, that matches the ride in terms of...

Turn your phone sideways, into landscape mode (as long as you do not have orientation lock enabled.) Awesome post, thank you!!! Think we needed some positivity. And congratulations! A pic really does say 1000 words... This is ours from our first ride, not quite back row, but just look at...

I think it was not only a hilarious move to pull, but also a nice little acknowledgement and a subtle congratulations from the PB team. I’m sure they are trying to come up with something… But I honestly think this was more just a genuine little nod from them to Thorpe. PB should hire the truck...

Oh I feel bad for you mate, and others that had no choice but to go today for reasons. My smugness is aimed at those mocking us for going yesterday instead of today or over the next few days… ;)

This is me today… Except it’s more smugness aimed at those mocking us for going yesterday and queueing… Only to go on a busier day, and find it closed 🙈😂😂😂

I said last night that I thought it would be that, as they were doing the whole “get the f away from the gates” announcement each time they closed them. What is with Thorpe and Air Gates? Didn’t they have this issue with Colossus?

Did you also comment at the time that you'd waited an entire Alton Towers midweek day for one ride? 😂 😂 😂

Because, if you don't, and choose to visit a little after opening day, then you may just find yourself travelling for no reason, as that brand new coaster unveils it's little niggles and needs to be closed for adjustments... 😂 😂 😂 7 hours yesterday, felt worth it at the time, but now I feel...

If it's what we heard on the lean, it just sounded like something on the track was misaligned and catching something on both trains. If that's the case, it should be easy enough to fix, right?

There was a very obvious and quite worrying rubbing sound developing on the station exit lean element, sounded like metal on metal. It was on both trains. Was that concerning that me and some other goons considered reporting it, but we had time for another ride and didn't want them to close it...

Is that 'Le Vampire' or are you sneaking an Arrow in there since it doesn't actually specify 'B&M?'

I haven't actually ridden Monster, but I've heard nothing but good things from those who have... Need to add it to my list of places I really should have visited by now...

Yep it is… But it doesn’t feel like your grandad’s barrel rolls of old does it… I don’t think the hype was justified, don’t get my wrong, and it obviously is just a barrel roll, but it does feel like a step up in terms of the interesting way it’s entered, exited and profiled. Hence the silly...

Nope, nobody that actually covers coasters as their main ‘niche’ is included. :) But I’ve seen all sorts of different ‘travel vloggers’ and none related ‘influencers’ invited to these things over the last few years. I guess I have to calm the green monster and remember why the parks do them…...

I'm so pleased they got a special ride, they've put everything and more into covering this project, their marketing has been worth way more than Thorpe's own thus far. They deserve every last second of that ride, so I'm glad they got to experience it before any sort of media / vip day. Sadly...

Ohhhh lots of it is properly embroidered!!! If they look half decent I'm definitely down for an embroidered hoodie.

So, next week's plan... Ride Hyperion up until Thursday... Then straight on to Hyperia on Friday... This could get confusing!

I think they’ve gone vibrant knowing all too well that the park is in the UK, and our climate will absolutely dull everything down within a couple of years. As the colours weather they’ll look different. That being said, I like it now 🙈😂 But fully appreciate that it is not to everybody’s liking.

Ohhh Bucket List... Let me see... Mostly in the USA since I'm still the cliche Brit, who's only ever visited Florida... 🙈 😂 1) SteVe 2) Hakugei 3) Lightning Rod 4) Skyrush 5) Fury 325 6) El Torro 7) Formula Rossa 8) Top Thrill 2 9) Project 305 10) The Beast It's amusing to see how the...

I like the 'look' of the queue area. Don't get me wrong, hate the fact it's cattle pen, but we all knew that was coming... The aesthetics, I actually really like.
