May 14, 201411 yr comment_183216 Just as I thought then. Judging from the sign it will completely slice Amity Cove in two
May 14, 201411 yr Author comment_183218 Its always been in two. As has been suggested before Stealths area could be branded as Amity Speedway pretty easily and would still fit.
May 14, 201411 yr comment_183219 Its always been in two. As has been suggested before Stealths area could be branded as Amity Speedway pretty easily and would still fit. They kind of got away with it before as it was Amity Fish and Chips (I know there was still pirate theming there if you really looked for it, but that was just laziness) whereas now it's completely split. Still, it does look like the entrance sign will be good!
May 14, 201411 yr comment_183222 Unfortunately, Amity has been split in half. Amity Cove just has the KFC, Tidal Wave, Storm Surge and Flying Fish. While Amity Speedway has Stealth and the Teacups (which is actually themed to the storm in Amity Cove ). Such a shame, it really was a very nice area.
May 14, 201411 yr comment_183229 I do think it was a bit misplaced, but oh well. You gotta do what you don't always gotta do.
May 14, 201411 yr comment_183234 photo 1.JPGphoto 2.JPG The structure for the entrance to the area is now under construction - looks massive! Thanks to Josh Taking it Detonator is now closed?
May 14, 201411 yr comment_183235 Nope, you can still access Detonator by going round the arcade and through Nemesis. The whole Dodgems metal structure is now complete.

May 15, 201411 yr comment_183255 Photo update - (Photo from TPG facebook) Looks like the roofs structure is complete or is almost complete. (Photo from TPG facebook) I believe that's one of the HB leisure games they're adding themeing to.
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183257 I've asked this before, but - will we ever see the back of the "road" (as seen in the photo above) Never understood why there's any need for it, the light vehicles at Thorpe are fine to drive on brick paths etc... and as to why there is a single yellow line on it is beyond me. Assume it dates back to the RMC days?! Just seems a bit odd
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183260 Nice to see progress is happening, shame its for this... I'm I right in thinking there are doubts that it'll be open in time?
May 15, 201411 yr Author comment_183265 A quick snap from today shows the structure for the dodgems is now up and awaiting its theming - looks like some signage is on site now to ready to go up.

While Amity Speedway has Stealth and the Teacups (which is actually themed to the storm in Amity Cove ). Such a shame, it really was a very nice area. That ship sailed at the end of 2003 when teacup twisters became storm in a teacup and all the effects were turned off on Tidal Wave.
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183272 An idea for the dodgems! Judging by the name 'King Pig's Wild Hog Dodgems', perhaps the King Pig could be seen at one end of the arena, sat on his throne (that's being supported by four minion pigs with expressions of pain and fatigue on their faces!) accompanied by chuckling sound effects, giving the impression he's really enjoying this whole situation of the birds going 'beak to snout' with his pig minions!

May 15, 201411 yr comment_183282 Between 6-8pm those will be the only rides open, or can I just show my pass and ride Inferno and Swarm instead?
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183283 Hmm bit strange considering the land opens on 24th anyway, so a preview after it opens?
May 15, 201411 yr Author comment_183284 Between 6-8pm those will be the only rides open, or can I just show my pass and ride Inferno and Swarm instead? I expect only Angry Birds land will be open
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183286 I was hoping to be the first to actually show you the dodgem cars But Thorpe are clearly so excited they posted it on FB. Oh well, you haven't seen the red ones yet BIRDS PIGS & LADDERS MAN PAINTING QUEUE LINE OPEN DOOR!!! (the seats have been unwrapped) AN ENTRANCE GROUND VIEW GREEN This would have been a better dodgem. RED GREEN AND RED! (there are 4 cars so far from what we saw today) SIGN! It's progressing quickly now but they do only have 8 days. They have also started work on the entrance by Detonator putting up the beams and I expect they'll close Detty on Sunday or Monday for its retheme. Woo Angry Birds Land!
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183297 Well, that entrance sign just looks sooooo inviting. You've only seen a tiny bit of it!
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183298 I expect only Angry Birds land will be open 2hr detonator marathon it is then, if I go lol.
May 15, 201411 yr Author comment_183299 ^Well I say land - it does say 4D experience so maybe its just showing of the movie?
May 15, 201411 yr comment_183302 I'm in Brean that weekend, otherwise I might have attended. The Dodgems look good so far!
