How does thus even work i love it

Awesome stuff. The castle is truly an amazing place. I was looking for my drone in your video 😂 I will return for the light trail in December

Wow! Beautiful shots!

Looks more good at night, we went during the day today and it was extremely busy. Great video

I subscribed and liked ( it’s a great ride but mandrill mayhem is better lol)

Try front row it’s more intense that’s my opinion I was so lucky when I went I got front row also what’s ur favourite ride mines Hyperia

sub 250 is here greets from Almere NL

It was great meeting you guys when queuing up for security at the start of the day. Hope you guys had a great day! Hyperia was insane 🎢🪽

I was also in the queue at about the same place as you, and when I rode it it broke down on the FBR.

I was on the cart stick on the breakers when that one was on the hill

Was in the queue when it stopped I was the one that said hi to ya hopefully get on it soon.. 😁

the swarm is my 2 favorite ride in the uk

Hi and the view from Monks Walk of the ride testing looks cool

Bojkafilm.

Hi Mate when is the vidoe gonna be posted about you rating Thorpe park I’m the guy that you met at swarm

Hi I'm the guy from the dragon ride on Sunday in Windsor legoland

This is going to be a great coaster, but good lord does the theming (or absolutely lack of it) completely suck. While I know Merlin / Thorpe Park don't have anywhere near the budget of Universal or Disney, but aside SAW and the new opening of Nemesis at Alton Towers, basically all the parks have the bare minimum theming. Once you go to a true theme park it is an incredible experience being engulfed in another world - I just wish we had that in the UK. I know about the plans for Universal to come here, but I'd be absolutely amazed if that actually was fully green lit and came to exist.

well done video bro i wouldve loved this years ago bc i was too scared to go on the ride because of the line because i didnt know what it was like and it was horror themed i went on in the end but this wouldve been great

I remember when the layout was first leaked and thinking this coaster was too good to be true, so wild that its actually been built, cant wait to see it running and see and hear everyone's reactions, I'm in the US so it'll be a bit before I ride it but I cant wait to experience this coaster someday, great video guys!

Back row is going to be bonkers! X2 is currently my favourite first drop on a coaster and I think this has a very high chance of taking that title. Imagine if they reverse the back row like on DC rivals, it would be absolutely insane!!

They could have made it taller tbf

Fookin brilliant drone footage. Keep up the gd work boys. 😁

❤❤. Great video guys❤.

Fly jib/ extension on top of crane standing at 90 meters just under 3 hundred feet

Colossus is now a family thrill coaster

Brilliant footage, the 360 photos look amazing thanks for sharing!

It's going to be very scary first time bring it on

Going to be crazy opening day❤

Thankyou for update

Amazing drop ..great footage

Good vlog mate can't wait 😅😅😅

Great update, and fantastic footage, Hyperia maybe short, but it's going to pack a punch, that's for sure!

Wow that is amazing footage 😃 can’t wait for the actual ride😀😀😀😀

8:03 my stomach can feel the back seat of that drop. My goodness if we get backward facing seats then Thorpe are trying to kill us

Mack cooked on this ride

6:42 that view is crazy

That crane is TALLLLLL

Quality video

You actually get really close and I never see that in these drone fly over videos so love it

Looks terrifying from above. That first drop really looks intimidating.

Wow those drone shots are amazing mate gives a great angle I never thought we'd get of this coaster during construction absolutely insane job mate

First! Commenting from the USA

That first drop is outrageous!

Fantastic footage. Unique view of the coaster. Thanks for taking the time to complete this. Awesome 😎👍

Fantastic footage, thanks so much for sharing! We were at monks walk today. Very muddy but well worth it to see how hyperia is taking shape! Great footage from the top of the first drop. Gonna be incredible to experience it first hand when open. 😊

Great video mate 🎉🎉

The stall is called a diveloop stall

Great footage of the park and it looks so clear on my 4k tv

daaang nice shots, what drone have you got?

Great footage. I am not on this project, but I do develop and build theme park rides for a living. As a rough guess, 23rd March is very optimistic. I would say from your video footage, that this ride is at least 2 to 3 months from completion, if they are working day shifts only. They may be able to shorten this with 3 shifts, but it would be a mighty task to do it in just over one month. Everything has to be perfect for that to happen as well. I had a rodent destroy an electrical drive on a ride I was installing last year, and it took 3 months to get a replacement part. Once the structure is built, the lift chain has to be pulled in and the remaining friction wheels installed, then all of the electrical containment, cables and sensors. They will have to perform a manual pull through, which is usually the front and rear car of a train for reach envelope checks of guests on the ride. The pull through will also ensure the train will go through the station and past evacuation platforms. The train is checked so it does not collide with any sensors, verify the chain catcher and anti-roll back (ARB) dogs for alignment, verify the train can go through bends, inversions and brakes without binding. The pull through can take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the weather and the skills of the pull through team. Not sure what the largest cherry picker, man lift or MEWP that is available locally. Usually 56 metres but you can get truck mounted to 90 metres. On larger coasters, we usually use cranes with man baskets, the higher we go. This slows progress due to the vertical distance that has to be travelled. 236 feet is pretty high. 72 metres. Not Giga, strata or soon to be Exa coaster high, but high enough. Once power is on, the lift chain is checked to ensure it is running true and all the input/output (IO) of the Programmable Logic Control (PLC) has to be verified. Friction wheel directions are checked. Lift chain and brake functions are electrically checked, along with all Operator and maintenance control panels. There are hundreds and sometimes thousands of IO's to be checked. The outer perimeter fence then has to be fully closed for test running. They start with one train, to make sure all sensors are working, and this can take up to 3 weeks with verification requirements. (Speed measurements between sensors, block zone checks, brake distance checks, zero speed gravity drops from lift chain and block brakes, train anti-roll back check and lift chain restart under load, etc). It is always better to have wet and dry running conditions, as well as cooler and warm conditions, if possible, during testing. Trains do not run very quickly in cool dry conditions, but they can be several metres per second faster in wet and warm conditions. If you want max speed, go on one during a summer afternoon, on a busy day, in the rain. Each train has all onboard restraint system verification checks, and any onboard lighting/audio is also checked. Once single train verifications are complete, a second train is added. A further week of anti-collision/restraint checks are carried out. For each subsequent train, another week of testing is usually required. They will then run the ride with all trains for a couple of weeks to bed the track in, train the operations team and get rid of any bugs in the system. After 100 hours of running, all bolts on the structure are torque checked (Tightening check). While all the above is going on, the area has to be landscaped/finished and all other ride infrastructure completed. Once everything is finished and training is completed, a 3rd party expert in amusement devices, carries out an assessment of conformity and functional test to complete initial inspection & certification of the attraction. We usually use the same 3rd party who carries out a design review, prior to manufacturing of the ride. A ride of this size can take 2 to 3 years from initial purchase to opening. The Installation, testing and commissioning is usually around 6 to 8 months. Mack rides and Emis (Emis are Mack rides electrical contractor) have a few coaster builds going on. They are commissioning Voltron Nevera at Europa Park at the moment, which is due to open in the next few weeks, so they will likely be over to Thorpe once that ride has opened. Hyperia looks like it will be a great coaster for Thorpe Park. Zero G hang times are one of my favorite elements and this one is a long way from the ground. I haven't built a chain lift since 2016, so that is interesting in modern times. All my recent coaster builds are LSM, Cable lift and Friction wheel lifts. The paint marks on the bolts are called Torque marking and they are a simple method for visually checking the bolts, nuts and washers are not coming loose. It is a straight line of paint from the bolt, down the nut, across the washer and onto the steel of the structure. It is always done on the nut side for through bolts and on the bolt head for threaded (Tapped) blind holes. The ride is usually split into zones and a visual check of all nuts and bolts is usually completed every week, or on larger coasters over 1 month. The visual check can be done from ground level with binoculars on most bolts, but in modern times, some theme parks are starting to do inspection with pre-programmed drones to reduce working at height requirements. Every year a physical torque check with calibrated torque wrenches is carried out, so every bolt has a physical check annually.
