It's the end of a busy week at Thorpe Park for Hyperia. The first drop has been installed and we're so close to seeing the rollercoaster track completed. Over the past 24 hours work has taken a small break but it would appear that all of the track to complete the rollercoaster is now on site. With the sun shining today, we can get a proper look at the construction site and how good the first drop looks.
The smaller crane could be seen moving sections of the track around the site ready for Monday morning. Arms for the catwalk that will be attached to the lift hill were also seen flying around the air during the afternoon today. We expect these will be fitted today to avoid fitting them at height later next week.
Work on wiring up the rollercoaster continues with engineers spotted wiring up the wheels before the lift hill.
It would also appear that work on cementing the supports to the foundations has begun on the turnaround section outside the station. This means that the supports are now in their final position and can be permanently fixed.
It looks like next week could be the week Hyperia is completed!
