I think that is the plan

It does say on the map they released to check the app for opening times of Saw, Samurai, vortex and Quantum. I’m guessing they’ll make a decision on the day when to open those. But it will definitely be later in the day.
I guess they know 90% of people there on the Friday will be wanting to go to hyperia first anyway.

After being fairly prematurely negative about Forbidden Valley from the pre-opening aerial views, I am trying to learn my lesson.
But goodness, there is an awful lot of this brown colour and very little else isn’t there?
Hoping that once any planting has set in it looks better.

I was there on Friday and whilst my cousins and I will be happy, lots of muddy puddles to splash about in, they really have their work cut out for them.
I was actually trying to keep the building site out of shot for these photos, so apologies.
It'll be tight but I'm sure they'll be able to pull something out of the bag very quickly. At least I hope they will.
Worst case, it opens on time and they landscape around it as much as they can until it's done.
Edited to correct typo.

How can you possibly know?
Experience in the field?
I have known very few rides where the landscaping, planting and final street furniture were not in place until the last minute.
It is how big leisure attractions go.
Absolutely normal service, typical of the industry.
And the layout isn't complete?

Hyperia has been added to the app queue times
Looking forward to seeing what number it gets to next week.
Glad I'm not going down that way til mid June and mid-week to boot. As much as I moan and joke, still excited to give it a go, I just wish they'd gone full-hog instead of what we got, especially in the theming department - I am not a fan of stylised black boxes.
Not much I can do about that. It's a two day trip with my brothers and this was the only time one of them could have his holidays. We could've gone in April but I wanted to at least go on Hyperia once and if we went in April it'd be a year til we go again.

Despite saying they’ll keep the inside of the station a secret, they’re posted a quick video on Instagram today. It doesn’t show much as there clearly isn’t much in the station, but there does seem to be a projector on the ceiling and plenty of gold of course.
Here’s a few screenshots

Far far better.
Having seen it in person it looks very tacky to be honest. They had better hope it rides well I suppose.

Guys relax, it's obvious that Thorpe haven't finished the theming yet and that they've got plenty of time before it opens to go and pick up the last few bits they need to finish the station area off.
