Excellent. Now interesting things have kicked off. Pics by idlewild from CF.

Bloody hell, that is massive. I guess at 2 metres higher than the Saw building, I should have expected this

Furius Baco got their first in 2005.

To stop any worries, construction on site is near enough on schedule - and the current hot weather (and forecast going forward) is going to help immensely to get up-to-speed (after poor weather earlier on in the year).Still some footers to be poured/placed as stated, but that doesn't mean that site won't be able to start installing track where they are in place

Provides several more pics that I see havent been posted anywhere yet

From theme park guide.

My god, it's colossal, I was expecting something 'modestly' sized!

This...Raptor set the bar for this, and as long as they can produce some cracking pieces of theming, then it should certainly reach that bar and become easily the best ride in the park... And an icon for years to come...Slowly turning around onto this I guess... Who knew...

As Raptor, I expect the operator will be above the loading track, which already gives us an idea of the size and the station height..

Was on park today in a rather impromptu trip that I only found out about on Thursday. That makes it a record-breaking three visits this year for me. Nothing to report Swarm-wise that hasn't already been mentioned. I'll have a trip report knocked together for tomorrow.

As Raptor, I expect the operator will be above the loading track, which already gives us an idea of the size and the station height..

Judging by the plans, it's quite a mystery, one end of the station is completely open and the other is a big stained glass, unless you mean at the side?

No, I expect it will be directly over the station track.

Good stuff, I'm suprised that with a station as colossal as this there will be very little indoor queueline. I can't help but feel they missed a trick there but anyway here are some better photos of the station structure....Credit to "Go Merlin" for the picturesThe full set can be found here

The last picture above absolutely fascinates me! Not only can you see the scale of this project, but the distance the lift hill will cover is incredible! Great stuff.

This is getting very exciting I hope the track is finished before closed season, can't wait to see how impressive it will look

A update from today.http://www.themeuk.net/LC12_Thorpe_ParkPG1.html

In this photo, you can see the first support structure for the tower themeing; the ruined steeple that the train will turn towards and fly through before it's inline twist.

This is fantastic I just get the feeling that it will be stunning when finished. Another random thing to note in the pic above is the bricking up of the maintenance building - just an observation

We have a pretty good view of the track in this picture:

Mate that is one beast of a scissor lift. Track's nice too.

Just to let you know, supports and more track where installed today.

Which parts, exactly? And source?

Any pics by any chance. Did you see these with your own eyes, or pictures by somebody else?

Do you know how much you anger me? You consistantly undermine me when I'm 110% correct. This isn't the first time either.Unfortunately I do not have any pictures, and yes I DID see it with my own eyes or I wouldnt be posting on the forum.
