Construction on Rush has started, but there isnt too much to see right now
This is the overall view of the construction site, 2 footers are laid one side of each other which will hold the tower
Thorpe giving us a friendly reminder what exactly is in store come June 05. Incidently the ride was due to arrive May 05(and it MIGHT still do) but it looks like Thorpe are playing the safe card here
Here it is, The only Sky Swat ride in Europe, Slammer
I was lucky enough to see the ride in full testing when I took this picture, and it looks pretty insane
It certaintly looks like being a very short ride, but the overall ride experience should make up for things
A lot of testing like this was going on all day, and the only people who got to ride it was water dummies :(
The ride in non testing mode, also You can just see the Water Dummies on the platform there
The entrance to the ride, felt sorry for this girl who had to stand there for 4hrs constantly telling people the ride wouldnt be open today as there was a few people who got the impression it might do because of the constant testing all day
More testing
One final view of the ride from the Colossus Queue line
And now I bring you Rocket Coaster construction pictures, well actually there really isnt anything to see at the moment, only the odd land clearing here and there and no flying Fish Coaster of course
Another view looking the other way, Still a lot of work to do. No dought we will see some major construction going on late in the season
Errr just some fences keeping people out of the area
One view looking in Model World, All Models are now Gone, No landing clearing in this area as yet
Good to see the water in the Colossus Pit complety cleaned, It looked really horrible late last season. It will probably look horrible again in a few weeks though ;)
YAY here it is, The New Thorpe Park Rollerball game over by the Tidal Wave entrance replacing the Basketball game
Actually they have just moved the Basketball game under the NI Lift Hill, over by the arcades
A new shop appears at Thorpe in the form of a QuikSilver Boardriders Club, It sells T-shirts,Hats etc
Guess what ride was closed most of the day. Actually the ride did open for the last 1hr of the day I believe
