Hex [2024 Refurb]: General Discussion
Burner

Would it not make sense to open it on the Thursday. A soft opening when its quieter rather than jump into the deep end with scarefest as opening day
They're aiming to have it open for the preview event for staff on the Wednesday to iron out any issues.

Don't think that's the case, just WM and Curse I believe. Everyone rota'd on Hex that day finishes at 4pm.They're aiming to have it open for the preview event for staff on the Wednesday to iron out any issues.

A much needed boost for capacity. Not worthy of huge celebration due to basically only fixing a broken ride that’s been out of action for so long, but if it’s safeguarded it’s future for years to come then that’s clearly great news.
Yeah, it’s quite funny to be celebrating fixing a 25 year old madhouse… but I’ve never been on it so hopefully I now will at Halloween!

You'll love it first time, I'm sure. Great atmosphere as well going through the old parts of the Towers on the way to the vault. EnjoyYeah, it’s quite funny to be celebrating fixing a 25 year old madhouse… but I’ve never been on it so hopefully I now will at Halloween!![]()

......or perhaps, they are celebrating the return of what is a world renown and legendary dark ride.
OK, so it looks pretty certain the ride is reopening, soon.
The next question...how long will the repairs last this time???
Timing is all, if the thing is clapped out, it might last a couple of weeks of halloween stuff, but will it last a full season again?
Opening so late in the season has me wondering.

I believe it’s actually been done properly this time rather than what they were doing previously. Not implying the methods beforehand would’ve made it unsafe, but they just weren’t going to work in the long term. Once it irons out any technical issues (which it has had during this set of testing) it should be fine

Would be extremely surprised if that's the case, most likely just the advert.

Me and my family will be there that day, usually that's around the time we'd ride Hex anyway after going in Woodcutters, can't wait to get back on!

I wouldn't read too much into it, it's a recreation/update of the Jim Carter-less original advert.
