rollerross11 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Saw was ish but not Flashy lit up e.g. stealth, But looking at there marketing so far I would expect it to be lit up.

Coaster XTREME Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Ok thanks for clearing that up :)Would be nice to see it all illuminated to be honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Say they get it up in 2 weeks, I know there's various testing and configuring that can take months. Once that's done does it just stit there for 6 months?Months of testing the train on the circuit, getting themeing ready, sorting out the electronics, finishing pathways and fencing, queue boards, effects. The list goes on. Building the track is the easy part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentez Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I've managed to grab a selection of screenshots from 'Red or Black' last night with some aerial shots of the new Islands, sorry about the picture quality (ITV )So for anyone interested..I can upload the rest upon request Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerross11 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Can't tell if it's vertical, I can't see from Storm Surge but there is a huge crane so vertical has commenced but not the track several beams I believe for the station have gone up but I didn't see track up.

Valentez Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Was just browsing through some pictures on 'Fotowhizz' and came across this http://fotowhizz.com/thorpe/lc12/Sep%2011/003.htm Look below "War Is Coming", it reads supplied by tanksforsale.co.uk.It's like one big theming shopping list on there Sorry to bring up something from 5 pages back but hopefully this concludes the whole matter now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as TV gameshows are filmed ahead airing (obviously) these shots are probably quite old, as far as speculation goes.Thanks for posting :)I didn't realize how big the site was behind stealth :oNow were on the subject of red and black: http://forum.maniahub.com/topic/9111-stealth-appears-in-upcoming-red-or-black-gamshow/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Posted 17 mins ago on Theme Park Guide's Facebook: We're back from thorpe park and have LOTS of photos of track and building work on the swarm so watch out for a big update in the next hour!!! ^_^Edit: It's not just mud any more!Credit to and more pics at http://www.themeparkguide.biz/So we have some station structure, and apparently a large number of supports have been moved to the front of the site ready for erection in the next few days. Yay for it finally getting interesting. Luke_A and Drawin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorpeparkjack Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 There is pretty much nothing going on. Vertical Construction has just about started with the outline of the station JUST about visible. No biggie. Here are some pictures anyway...

Geo Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 A structure is a structure! Building has commenced, over the next week the site will look completely different. Thorpe should get a webcam for fanboys :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom222 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 the barriers are merely promotional fences that temporarily block off the Sunken Gardens area behind Stealth. You can still get to sunken gardens, to get to you have to go through stealth's tyre and then there a dirt path on the left that takes you there.

Coaster XTREME Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 We went to thorpe yesterday with theme park guide, the station foundations have gone vertical but track is still hiding behind that container. We spotted a truck with supports on site though, those should go up during the weekend. Tried to upload our pictures but this forum doesn't like picasa But our full update can be found here (I apologise if I am breaking any rules by posting the link).We bumped into Les Coogan yesterday, this actor was not as polite and active as the previous actors.. but he told us that 'The rollercoaster is there as a distraction and is hiding the aliens. They will come out from the lake and kill everyone'.. sorry if that has been mentioned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Wow nice story line I'll look through the pictures when I get to my pc. I was trying to work out if 127ft would be viewable from the M3. I also don't like the way Thorpe are styleising rides and brands with capitals. THORPE PARK & THE SWARM eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 ^ It's a Merlin thing, TH13TEEN and KRAKE are also done in the same way Drawin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THORPE PARK & THE SWARM ehI should imagen it will be, Stealth can be viewed from the M3 and The Swarm's lift and first drop will be close to Stealth.

Geo Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yeah I was thinking more hight wise, 127ft is no competition for 205ft. Only a third of stealth can be seen, unless of course I'm talking absolute rubbish about swarm being 127ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Tiny update form today's goings on... Some roof cladding on part of the station building structure.Credit to theking on CF here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm going hopefully wednesday, so will see what I can get picture wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackR Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have a day off on the 14th October so I will be going with some mates, it happens to be a Fright Nights day so when I'm not in the mazes I'll try to get a few pictures of the track, seems a while away from now but vertical construction would have progressed massively by then so I'll see what I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hope I recover from ilness to go to frightnights have been going since 2007. I'll will get my wristband camera going on stealth. (someone had the same idea before I had a chance to try it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javs Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Great updates guys, keep up the fantastic work. I particularly like Coaster Extreame's pics, especially the one taken from up high, Detonator maybe? You can see how big the station is going to be and there is loads of track on site at the back of the tent!!!! Plus looks like still some footers to fill in, but all coming along nicely!!

Coaster XTREME Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks for the positive feedback.I took it from Detonator yes, with permission of course. ;)Will have another update for you during fright nights when track goes up .

Mr.man Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think a few people thought the actual track will be going up now when everyone mentioned vertical construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
