Why didn't you want to like this new attraction?themealgang wrote:As much as I didn't want to like this ride, I can't help but look on and think how beautiful it is turning out. Never before have we had an attraction in this country that's so detailed. It's not in the league of Universal but it's great to see a lot of effort has been put in to make this attraction at least look the part. I just hope what lies inside lives up to expectation. With so many manufactures involved (did someone even spot Intamin on site at one point?!) I think this is going to be a great addition to the UK.
Is the theme too dark? Absolutely when you consider how dark The Swarm was just four years before.
But will it make Thorpe Park stand out from the crowd? That's one thing that will happen.

I think I know what he means, I for one was very underwhelmed by the whole Derren Brown thing and lost all hope in the project the time I found out the rides name. However, due to the amount of effort I've seen I have made a complete 180 and personally I feel as though this is one of the best looking attractions to open not only in the UK, but worldwide in 2016 - only being beaten by the likes of Skull Island: Reign of Kong and Taron.

If you're referring to Mako, although it looks like a great ride - it's theming is not anywhere near the likes of these three attractions, at least in my opinionMakoMania wrote:I think you're missing oneOwen wrote: only being beaten by the likes of Skull Island: Reign of Kong and Taron.

It could be something to do with the sign testing (lighting up)?
I believe the Thorpe Deport thing was just a place holder - but as you say fingers crossed!
EDIT: Unfortunately this sentence from the kids go free offer page does in fact make it seem extremely likely to be delayed.

I expect when it does open, the 'Arriving 6th May' sign was due to be replaced by a sign which identifies each type of queue.
Unfortunately, it seems a little early for them to be swapping them out though and so I fear we will be seeing a delay.

Hopefully there won't be a delay. It wouldn't be good to disappoint people who've already planned to visit on the 6th, especially with the 12p ticket thing that happened a few weeks ago which upset a lot of people.
Although, because they've taken the sign with the opening date down so early, the train still not actually in the building, as well as no full tests being done, it does look likely that there'll be a delay. I doubt it will be a long delay, though.

Whilst it may be a shame if the opening misses the event on the 7th, I'd rather they made sure they opened it with everything right, rather than an incomplete or lacklustre experience like with Sub -Terra
