Yes they do but not a full extreme one like Verbolten

Not sure what the discourse was about it not being open for March 14th. It was quite clear from looking at construction that it was never going to be ready for then

The park usually opens the new ride at the start of the season, or often enough in the past decade and a half it became a trend. 13, Shed Terry, Ice Age, Octonauts, Furchester Hotel, Go Jetters, Alton Towers Dungeon, Peter Rabbit, Spinjam, both version of Funk n Fly, Twistatron, Mixtape, Flavio's, Hey Duggee, Curse, Nemmy Reebs have all opened with the park with Wicker Man scheduled to open but park was closed by snow. Postman Pat, Cbeebies Land and The Smiler are the obvious exceptions.

In reality, we can work out that their somewhere between 3-6 weeks behind where they intended to be.
Their original estimation was that construction time would take 34 weeks. Given they started work in the first week of June, that would put it at construction complete by the end of January.
Now of course it's not an exact science as there would need to be a staging period between the end of construction and opening day, and it is likely they would always have intended for the installation of the stand-alone theming to have taken place after Feb Half Term. Plus of course there would have been some planned contingency time. But given what we know so far, I think 3-6 weeks behind the original plan is a fair estimation.
