LOL, hardly indifference. On TPR's facebook page alone the video they posted had something like 5 MILLION views last I checked a few days ago. That's viral status. USA Today, LA Times, CNN, etc, etc, etc are all covering it. Literally tens of millions of people around the globe are talking about this ride. (OK, not "talking", but at least viewing and sharing the videos).
Coaster enthusiasts are split about it as expected, but most of us know that this is something that has to be experienced first hand before it is judged. At the very least, it is the most ambitious and unconventional new ride for 2018. Six Flags is making their announcements tomorrow. After that is finally done I expect TT will still be at the top of the most watched projects for 2018. Hard to compete with the RMC's right now though because they are so hot and everyone already knows they will be good.
There's going to be so much publicity this March when TT finally opens. I expect an even bigger round of headlines and media coverage since this time they will be ahead of all the SF and CF projects. The coaster enthusiasts will come around when the good reviews roll in. They are going to get exactly what they wanted - a huge boost of publicity for the park.
As for this site, I've been laid up from a surgery so I'm trying to get caught up again. Not much left to discuss or speculate now that it is all out there. I'm turning my attention back to how they are going to manage the extra crowds.
