@Evvo1991 We're now thinking that maybe the marketing team did this on purpose, for the hype. Think about it... The first train section that *should* be going down to the maintenance shed for loading in would be the rear section of the train... So maybe this was all marketing hype ๐คช
What happened to @THORPEPARK keeping the Hyperia trains under wraps until the big reveal... They could easily just have chucked a tarp over them whilst they move them ๐คช
Update from Monks Walk... Lots of work happening on site for Hyperia, but no signs of trains this morning or for at least the next few hours, according to construction workers #Hyperia#ProjectExodus@THORPEPARK
Hyperia update: we've just been down to Monk's Walk. Absolutely biting happening tonight. The nice night security guy (with his dog) said they were hoping to test yesterday but couldn't because of wind. See more here: https://t.co/Zlv0cCtT1d
Samurai at Thorpe Park is getting a fresh coat of paint, in line with it's original 1999 paint job when it was at Chessington World of Adventures. We're excited to ride Samurai when it opens next month ๐ค
