Today, this will be a long report.Went to Monks today, and found, a lot. Photos and videos are at the end of post.Arrived at the park gates at about 2PM, and wondered though. New foliage and new flower beds created for traffic.Couldn't see much, but bthe first thing I saw was Zodiac testing. It had one short test, and that was it for the day. I couldn't see much from the whole park view, as of the mahoosive arena currently in the car park. Good luck to them for getting it down by the 10th. The Fish has a crane nurturing it, but I couldn't really see much, becuase of foliage. Nothing else was testing, but I turned, and saw that an area of the fence had been blown down, to reveal the area of the 09 Hotel. The area is flat, all Infilled, and by the looks of it, ready to go. I presume the application has been successful, but I'm not totally sure. The site is gigantic. Lots of activity going on around the craft fair, and you can bank on it, that it won't be packed down by opening day. Drove round to Monks, and wondered down. CCR is still there, but in need of TLC. First thing we saw was the road use happening down by treasure island. Trucks are using the pathway built in the summer to get to treasure island/Rumba area. I saw a grand total of two trucks driving past, hence the dirtyness of the boats. Lots, I mean, Loads of soil is being moved to below Samurai. Inferno's PLC and power Tower where whirring away, and lots of loud bangs coming from area. It was prob being tested in the morning. Can't confirm though.Two men were fixing the Rumba Shower, so it may be in use this season. Kept on walking, and Rocky is still in pieces, and Slammer has still got no hat. Samurai has no pods, and infilling is blatatantly happening. Skip by 'Prize Every Time' in CC. Not sure what for.I expect the Samurai pods will be out on tommorrow, or next week, as the crane was in place ready. I couldn't see much of the Samurai infilling, but more on that later. Kept walking, across the second bridge, but the angle was wrong, so still no pictures of the infilling. On the second island behind the CCR tent, I wondered into teh barmbles, and got some pictures of the Flats - I.E Vortex, Rush, Zodiac. Wondered inf urther, when it came to my attention taht this would be the perfect area for the 2009 coaster. I'm not saying that this is where it will be, but it seems a damn good idea. Video Below. Took some pictures of more Flats, but AGAIN the angle was wrong for the infilling. Wondered out, walked all the way back up Monks, and drove back to the Front Gate. Took a few beautiful pictures of the sunset, and drove further down, finally got some images of the Infilling, and great skyline shots.Positives:-Found out that the hotel will be probably be going ahead.-Found out a possible area for 09 coaster.-Great pictures for future refernece.-Lovely Pizza in Staines [Pizza Express] Negatives:-Lost mother when walking around second island.-Park Closed [Obv, but meh.]Videos:Video Of Area of 2009 HotelPossible area of 2009 coasterPictures:Car Park AlterationsFront GatesHotel AreaHotel Area 2Enterance of HotelDiggers in process of Infilling [blurred slightly]If you look hard enough, you'll see there is a Red Truck delivering soil via TW.Truck in right.
