MattyMoo Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Having seen bending schedules for the reinforcement, there is a heck of a lot of rebar on the project - but then, it's a bloody big building so I guess that's to be expected. Expect some exciting photos of steel reinforcement and mesh on site mid June #hotgossip JoshC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pognoi Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Not sure if its been mentioned anywhere but metal panelling has been sunk into the ground on the X side of the site. The old shark tank has also been filled with water, and the floor drill (that was used for the footers for swarm) has arrived on the site and is zipping around very happily. Also, there were a couple of trucks that arrived on the site yesterday, delivering more material. Celia Mae 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diving pole was used for shows in the arena and that used to be part of the swimming pool that they used to dive into from the very top. I believe theres a video on youtube of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerfuffle Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 That does explain a lot! When I went on Wednesday, during lunch it was as if they were just repeatedly drilling in the exact same spot...when they were actually digging out the building outline (I assume).

Ian-S Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 You get a better view from slammer but I was too busy trying to act my age to take a photo lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have some photos from Friday, but I don't really know how good they are.. so here's a relatively uninteresting, out-of-date (probably) construction update. Nothing seems different here. I think that blue and white thingy is new. When the gate opened a lorry came in and blocked the way to IAC and Inferno. Some rocks.

JoshC. Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Just as a friendly reminder, cameras/phones aren't allowed on rides whilst they're in operation, and it is strongly discouraged that people try to take photos whilst on a ride. lewumbrajumbos and pognoi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-S Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I agree 100%, but in my defence it's a keyfob camera attached to my keys which were clipped to my belt clip and no bigger than an average house key, I simply pointed it in the right direction and clicked the button, it presents no more danger than anybody else on the ride that still has their shoes on, keys clipped to their belt or their annual pass on it's laynard round their neck. I'm certainly not mad enough to try and take a photo with my phone if that's what you though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 And to add to the above, new high-res construction photos also online at Total Thorpe Park. Work seems to be visibly picking up now, with lots of piling going on... ...and the new site office has popped up, which appears to have "borrowed" a bit from the Thorpe Shark Hotel...

JoshC. Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Little update from TPM from today. Not much different to James' update, but gives a couple of different views: Unfortunately all the interesting work is taking place the other side of the site, but there's no easy way to get any views of that side. Does show how big the site is though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
