Cornflakes Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Nice to see this finally going ahead! Will be interesting to follow construction, personally I'm hoping for some changes to the dreadful queue line and plaza area where you won't get the best view of the ride but I won't hold my breath. coasterverse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattgwise Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Great news! Will look forward to following the construction of this. With this, Jumanji, the dueling coasters at Legoland and a potential new indoor Waterpark, the South has lots to look forward to! Exciting times! Cal and coasterverse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never for a second even considered the fact that they might be repurposed - my mind just jumped straight to them being thrown on the scrap heap. Really excited at the possibility of other people being able to enjoy what once was, allowing Canada Creek to live on in some way or another!

1729 Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 From facebook from the person who hauled the stock out, one set is going to East Links Family Park in Dunbar  As for the thought they be scrapped straight away  Fact is the rolling stock there are solid commercial machines and are relatively robust, plus they would been relatively well looked after  Fact about railway stuff, its rare stuff is outright scrapped as long as its decent and usable with a bit of TLC the thorpe stuff is more than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parm Pap Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 paarrrrrrup, well I've heard some rumours that exodus has been cancelled from thorpe park, and another ride is leaving, (music neel neel neel neel neel neel neel neel)   if you want to destroy really good things, Merlin, you can BEEP it's gonna be **** will you be riding that 2024, it's actually 2025 I think, it could have been a lot better, slightly better paced   it's your fault Merlin, that's what I said, you, why's it 2025, they've delayed it, I'm officially done, bye Exodus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I know it's Christmas etc., but the lack of anything of any note happening on the Exodus site, other than the removal of the train and Rocky Express and not much else, is quite concerning. You'd think they'd want to make up for lost time... Inferno and coasterverse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I know what you mean.  I wonder if it’s down to getting contractors etc in. It’s not like there are hundreds of construction workers sat in a big hall somewhere waiting for the phone to ring - I imagine they’re all busy and have work booked for the immediate future at least?  TP have only recently been given the green light - the lead time hasn’t been there for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML27 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 A lot is happening in the background, before any work starts including removal. They have to satisfy the planning conditions by providing further documents.  they’ve now submitted most documents to satisfy most and even some have started to be approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Generally speaking this shouldn't take long to build. There isnt significant earth works, steel construction is rapid and there isnt any significant foundations or buildings.  If I had to organise that site I wouldn't attempt to start in December or January due to weather. To keep costs down you want as short of a programme as possible. Especially as an awful lot of construction workers and plant at the moment is being used up on HS2 pushing prices up. I suspect what is limiting the construction at the moment is actually future crane hire. Its not easy to get a 250ft cran in the UK, the waiting list is literally years.  That aside a multi million pound investment during a cost of living crisis and the start of a recession. It would be prudent for Merlin to reassess the return on investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
