Minds are wanted for Thorpe Parks next attraction, arriving 2016 work on the ride is picking up pace with foundations poured in the pit and rebar has been put in place for the other section of the building ready to be poured soon. Metal beams have been added inside the building forming what looks to be a tunnel inside. We think that this tunnel section could be part of the station. Since our last visit a roof has also been added to the building. It is expected that once the other section of the site has had its foundations poured that the building will go up in no time.
Workers on site today spent a good chunk of time checking rebar suggesting that foundations could be poured very soon! Towards the end of the day we noticed that since we took the first batch of photos at the start of the day that workers had started to paint some of the metal guarders white. Metal beams for cladding for the outside of the building continue to be put on the building. We suspect that the park will get the building complete before starting to build the ride to keep the attraction a secret until open day. Near the goal striker building a large section of path has been dug up near the construction site. It is currently unknown if this is just maintenance or if some promotional material for the ride could go here? A long shot but something similar was done near Stealth for The Swarm.
Leaflets for mindswanted.co.uk are now being handed out at the Annual Pass building and the park exit. We believe that when island beats is done in a few weeks time that marketing will go into overdrive for the attraction. With the fright nights line up currently unknown we don't know if one of the mazes could be linked in with the new attraction for next year.
