The above photos were taken at the European Coaster Club AGM, which included a park tour and nice views of construction. The ride tested with the first ever passengers today.

Landscaping continues, turf has been laid on the banks, and the majority of fencing is now up. Themed pillars holding fencing have been added around the bridge and cobra roll.

General landscaping and theming continue, we also learn that the building next to the Thorpe Belle will become a new food outlet with a nice eating area overlooking the ride.

The BBC show Tomorrow's World shot a live broadcast from the park. It was a special preview of Colossus, with an experiment on riders, seeing how their adrenaline levels differ. Here are fifteen photos from the day.
