It doesn't even look like it could be metal. It may just be a piece theming or similar. Or just complete nonsense! On a side note, Kong is coming along BEAUTIFULLY! (Photo supplied by bioreconstruct)

You don't even know what they are planning on doing to it...

There are rumours circulating that the ending of the ride may be tweaked but whether these are true or not is another question.

Take one look at the state of your posting. It's not hard to see that you have a vendetta against Thorpe.

And what we must remember, it was Tussaudes that ruined it in the first place. They left it in such a state they would have bankrupted themselves trying to sort it out.

Just going to point out, Merlin have never and will never disclose information about the day to day operations about their rides. Therefore, anything you have heard is 'through the grapevine'. Anything said through this grapevine, is twisted, contorted and glorified BS. You do not know what the current situation is with Loggers, and nor do anybody including myself on this forum. So before we all start jumping the gun, claiming that Loggers has been running unsafely, or that they do not maintain to an adequate standard, ask yourself, "Am I positive that Thorpe aren't maintaining it properly, am I positive that I know the ins and outs of the maintenance on this ride". Why are so little people instead going, It's nice that Thorpe are throwing some TLC towards Loggers, it will be nice and refreshing to see it restored to its original state. For anybody that cares, whilst working there, on an all too regular basis, the engineering department where working tirelessly to keep it going. But when a ride is 30 years old things do need an extensive overhaul. Look at The Incredible Hulk at IOA, Nobody has gone... "omg it must have been unsafe, they weren't looking after it and it blew up"......

I'm heading back in October, I thought I'd make sure it was past summer before going back

Well.... 1. My reality check happened when I realised seasonal contracts with minimum wage wasn't going to get me very far in life. 2. 3 Years of Theme Park's, enough to last me. 3. See number 1, in addition, it ruined the overall experience for me and ran into several problematic situations which could have caused significant medical issues for me. 4. Haven't really got a dream job at the moment!

Lol. Do you actually think they would continue operating if it was unsafe.... You've made me blush from giggles

I see you are using your crystal ball effectively then, what's next weeks euromillions numbers?

An update on The Hulk, new precast foundations are being used on top of the existing foundations. Rumours that track will start going back up around the end of January or Beginning of February.

You may find they can work a new system into the original track, if it's being changed from tyres to LIM, it may not need any new track.

And it's gone...

Not one to call your bluff or anything, but... Prove it? 2p can't even buy a single sweet nowadays let alone a piece of machinery.

Do it would seem The Hulk will not be keeping its vertical loop after all. More than half has been removed and is expected to be completely removed in the next 24/48 hours, photo courtesy of @bioresconstruct via Twitter.

I thought maybe they need to move the crane but who knows!

This loop should feel proud to be the last standing... @bioreconstruct

This is getting more bizzare to look at! @bioreconstruct

Cobra Roll has been banished by Dr Doom. @bioreconstruct

I honestly doubt anybody will miss Twister...

Another update from @bioreconstruct

Well this is true

Again, via @bioreconstruct we have another Hulk update. The view is becoming somber, to say the least.

I recon Lionsgate are pulling the plug. The whole point of the Lionsgate sponsorship, was a horror movie takeover, and after Thorpe added 3 attractions of their own brand with no relation to Lionsgate, Lionsgate probably thought, why bother.
