Just a wild guess, but is there something visionary planned to go on the end of the building, judging by the top of the building being uneven?

 

Nothing in the plans.  

 

A reminder for everyone how the building should look roughly...

The plans also indicated that this part of the building will have some (more?) trees to help try and hide this part of the building.

We don't know the budget. But Thorpe are due a large ride, on the plans it states how this is basically their large ride in place of the postponed 2015 coaster. Marketing has begun this early. It's not going to be small.

The building thing doesn't show anything really about the standard of project. Forbidden Journey has a massive bit of its show building unthemed as you enter the queue and from JP it's just a white shed. At least it's the same colour as X so fits in, shrubbery is being planted which will help and there will be a large themed section. It's not cheap to theme a large building entirely, that's why many show buildings are tucked away.

Why many show buildings are tucked away is because a lot of meticulous planning goes into disguising it effectively and choosing land that can easily conceal the building.

 

There's no effort made here really even though it would be well in reach to create a facade or remodel the space for that side of the building, just the budget controllers don't want to spend money on things like that when they can spend it on PR, technology research and marketing instead.

 

People will just put up with having a plastic backside of a building on show and coming out in the way of the path, because its not seen as necessary for UK parks to bother creating an immersive space anymore, when you can pour the work into building up hype and looking for the next attention-catching effect.
