Yes it’s been horrendous, particularly over the May half term. Multiple days of 2/3 rides shut all day and frequent downtime looking online/socialsIs it that dire at the moment? Genuinely no idea as haven’t been since opening.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they open it this year, they could have it open in the summer holidays in theory and it gives them capacity for the busy end of season.

The way I see it they have 2 options
1) Have it all ready for September to give it a good month of running before the very busy season where it will give much needed capacity
2) Have all groundwork completed and the site secured in time for Scarefest, in order to open up the pathway for increased foot traffic. Finish the ride ready for 2025
If Sub Terra continues to have problems and Hex doesn’t get sorted, I can see why they’d go for the first option, but either is pretty likely

Dark forest seems to have lengthy downtime on at least one of the rides every day, often at opening...and when Hex is gone, and no skyride fast exit, your options are very limited.
a crane is now on sight and concrete has been poured for project ocean:

Wider with more seats please, but the aesthetics of it would look awesome in FV.

I would agree that the aesthetics suit the old FV, but I think that it would look out of place in the 'new' FV.Wider with more seats please, but the aesthetics of it would look awesome in FV.
Slap a black shipping crate on top instead of that wooden hut thing and paint everything black with a few of the red tentacles climbing up the support structure and you’re all set.I would agree that the aesthetics suit the old FV, but I think that it would look out of place in the 'new' FV.
Merlin principles of design - if in doubt, theme it black with shipping crates

I dunno, with it painted black and with the tentacles and some more theming additions as Dave mentioned, it could look great! Can't imagine it ever coming to the park but it's fun to imagine!I would agree that the aesthetics suit the old FV, but I think that it would look out of place in the 'new' FV.

It was always going to be a 2025 opening. 2024 was pure assumption because construction started early.
Doubt the Croc Drop clone took much effort either.

It’s possible that John isn’t involved in Project Ocean.
Or more likely 2025 is the opening date for Ocean but they are getting work done early. Maybe because other flats are going in next year? Or they’ve finally learnt a lesson.

That dose get me wondering, we saw surveying equipment outside galactica a few days ago so could the be adding big things to it to make it fit in to the new FV?Maybe because other flags are going in next year?

I did think that at first, but then I thought back to the Reborn VIP event and it really sounded like JB was instrumental in Nemesis being relifed as they had initially decided not to do it and just replace it, but John really made the case for reimagining, retracking etc, along with the rest of Forbidden Valley, so I can't see that he'd not be involved in some way.
Even if they throw up the structure and don't install the ride hardware yet, I'm still happy, personally. Alas, opening it for scarefest would've been amazing.
