Here's something I've noticed about the paintwork on the cobra roll that's really annoying me. At a first glance it looks fine. But, look at the support I've circled in purple. The blue colour extends from the track onto the top of the support. It doesn't do that on any other support. It...

That's just prep for the paintwork. Thankfully it didn't look like that during the open season.

I think that's right. 👍👍

Wait, so was the bluey/green track that Colossus eventually opened with just the old track that had been repainted and reinstalled, and not actually the new track? If so, where did you hear this?

It looks like the outerbank before the lifthill has started to be installed. It looks quite steep! (seems like that's becoming a theme with this ride!) Thorpe Park Hyperia Construction - First Turn and Huge Supports! Credit: TheKnexMaker

The Swarm or Galactica. I could see Drayton's revamp of Shockwave next year being quite good too. Flight of the Pterosaur if you're not feeling quite as adventurous.

Filming for Hyperia's TV advert begins today and it's not taking place in the UK. This was all confirmed by Thorpe Park in the chat of Dominic Gardener's livestream yesterday evening. Looking forward to seeing it on the telly in the near future!

I'll throw in my humble 5 B&Ms! Nemesis Inferno, Thorpe Park - 4/35 Galactica, Alton Towers - 5/35 Oblivion, Alton Towers - 8/35 The Swarm, Thorpe Park - 10/35 Mandrill Mayhem, Chessington World of Adventures - 12/35 Hoping to get Nemesis in 2024! 🤞

I know they said that "infinity is not forever" and all that but I don't think there was any reason to get rid of it. It was iconic and they could have absolutely modernised and created a new brand identity whilst also retaining the well known infinity. Even just having a silhouette of the...

The logo is fine but I just wish it had something more, it's a bit bland currently. I'm not sure what but for a theme park logo it's definitely lacking that "fun" element, if you know what I mean. On a more positive note, I think the park's new direction and especially the snippet of soundtrack...

First impressions: Such a downgrade from the iconic Infinity logo. Maybe it'll grow on me but I'm not convinced.

Such a downgrade from the iconic Infinity logo. This is so generic and lifeless. Maybe it'll grow on me but I really doubt it.

I'm really quite fond of The Smiler. My favourite moments were probably the back-to-back dive loops and the first inversion out of the station. However I didn't think much of the airtime hills and found the cobra roll and last couple corkscrews to be a little jarring. Still a very good ride...

Personally, I love the sound Colossus makes as it comes off the lift. Such a cool noise!

Completely agree with this. Loved the zero-g feeling while standing up, absolutely amazing. I'll miss it too!

I'll stick in a second vote for Detonator. It's my favourite drop tower I've been on to date. It proves that size isn't everything and puts some much larger ones to shame. It's small stature can easily lull you into a false sense of security and the drop scared the life out of me the first...
