Even I can't be enthusiastic about that.

I saw it mentioned somewhere else, a better name for the area could’ve been ‘golden realm’, although fearless Valley is fine tbh.
I like how Thorpe still have the themed areas/territories, although they’re not as great as they once were, it’s still nice to have

With the Fearless Valley name reveal, it makes me think that the possible Slammer Replacement would naturally be a part of that area (if and when the time comes)

'Fearless Valley' sounds like it was generated by ChatGPT. Such a forgettable and meh name. It would be insulting if it wasn't for the fact that Thorpe Park is an extremely flat park, which somehow makes it funny.
The coaster itself looks incredible but I personally just wish they'd done something bolder with the theming/stylisation and branding. I suppose beggars can't be choosers though, and I'm glad the park is getting a new coaster. I feel like this is Thorpe's Air moment - so much potential but so little delivered besides the ride (except Air was actually supposed to have theming).

Hopefully not a Valhalla-style "from".Curious change on the Thorpe Park app; "opens 24th May" has changed to "opens from 24th May."
AI image creation is dirt-cheap, I can go on a website get 3 months of 'Pro' for £15 and be able to churn out 100's of images with a variety of different styles and looks. If I'm too cheap for even that, Bing has a free AI image creator. Oh and that 'website' I mentioned has an upscale and refinement system that would help remove those pesky flaws on the hands - which says everything about the effort those marketing images had put into them.
Or just put a bit more money into hiring a designer because you're a juggernaut of a company in the theme park industry and people can tell when you put absolutely zero effort into things like this by delegating a marketing person to type a few lines into a text box? If Merlin start going down the drain this hard Universal are going to look even better than they currently do.

That looks/looked awful, especially the hands.
What are they even going for here??
And that posting technique is such a terrible decision when the first and third panel prominently feature hands, something AI is well known to struggle with.
EDIT: Annnnd it's deleted, awkward

30 seconds of effort and I’m seriously considering handing in my notice and applying for the role of head of marketing at Merlin.

I went and tried my own hand at it.
I even did a quick upscale/refinement just for that extra oomph.

This is how I feel. It looks like a great coaster but it feels way too short and doesn't really utilise Loggers' areas as best as it could. I'm looking forward to it, but it's not worth waiting 12 years for
