Went there yesterday and took these on my phone:
Wasn't open though  Although we did see them testing it. Looks pretty good. It's built around The Corkscrew. Other than that nothing is new.

Well I asked 2 seperate people about the testing, both said you had to be a Hotel guest, which I wasn't.
Yesterday wasn't busy either. The weather must have put a few people off. Which was good for me  Went on everything numerous times.

I've not been on it so can't possibly comment on its quality. Plus as Rollercoasters go its still relatively cheap.

This is true. Fuck falling from that, especially when your climbing the lift hill.
Yesterday they stopped the entire train mid hill climb as some bright spark decided to whip out his camera phone and attempt to film the 'journey'.

If you don't get caught go for it. They have cameras up the lift hill but really this is the only place they could stop you. Get past that and you'll be fine. I doubt it'd come out well though.
