That somehow looks more cheap and tacky than Minifig Speedways queue which is an achievement

I maybe looking to much into this but they put new signage up on the Jolly Buccaneer and if you look how it’s been cut at the top it looks the same as how they cut the top of the new bit they added on the pirate adventure building.

That looks like it belongs on the entrance to a seaside arcade!

They done it on both sides of the sign. It did need replacing as the other sign was painted on and was in a bad shape but can’t understand why they thought it need to be cut like that and if the sign makers brought it in already cut I would have send both back.

Lots of little issues clearly but you have to admit this is a million times better than previous

The wave opens this Friday, mid day

That's short notice! Influencers will be scrambling.

Same opening day as Voltron. I'm sure there's going to be a split. Hahaha

One stays here one goes simple answer
Time it right they can do a dual on ride video live experience

Is this going to be like a WISH version of the Nemesis opening day? Have they just added new ride cars and a new name and sign? Tempted to go and see what's going on. Not been for years. Obviously will be going for the new ride later in the year.

Please don't give them ideas. If Concorde were still in operation, I'd suggest that Sanbrooke may want to do a Phil Collins and be at both places at the same local time, but he'd be too tight to pay for the ticket.

Now they’re just trolling the influencers

Seems they opened The Wave today (maybe just social media types as various photos doing the rounds):

Yep looks like the media event was today!

Response has been overly positive- can’t wait to try it

 

[Jb85]

Wish they’d have cleaned the track though. All that effort and yet nobody got the jet wash out…. Crazy

Decided to come to Drayton this morning and see what's going on. Not exactly Nemesis opening day buzz so far.

How are the queues? Very random and last minute how they did it (and lots of relevant media in Germany). And how is the ride of course?

 

[BarryZola]

Queues are small. Only annual pass holders on The Wave at the moment (I bought one the other day). Just been on. Lots smoother than last time I went on the ride years ago. Pretty good, but it's quite a short ride. Was worth getting the new ride cars.
