I would imagine there are reasons for the reshaping that go beyond winding you up.
No, I suspect they spent a lot of money changing it just to disappoint me 😉
Mere mortals will be able to roll them, or give jumping a go without the fee of coming up short and dropping into a gap or being eaten by a badger…
Everything was totally rollable. There were no “gaps”, just pairs of rollers that could be linked into a double.
was putting off driving up from Pompey
Have you actually ridden it then?

The major reason was safety – the amount of ambulances and helicopters called out was unsustainable. They had to change it.
Yeah, totally agree. But I’m not sure it will actually help. Section 26 now has a big berm rather than the previous loose, offcamber corner which slowed you down, so you can carry loads more speed into the tabletop. Speeds are way higher through there now.
I’m pretty sure there will be other changes too. Suspect the tabletop on section 15 (down from the reservoir) will be reshaped too as that is easy to overshoot and is blind going in first time.
