Build Update
Friday 21st August 2015

The island has a dark secret and its only time until we find out what it is! Work on the new ride at Thorpe Park has progressed nicely since our update Monday night. The foundations have been poured and more foundations are being dug out towards Nemesis Inferno. According to the plans this will be the last foundations for the main building then work on constructing the other building can begin. Judging by the time it took for the other slab of concrete to be marked out and filled we suspect that by this time next week the site will be fully poured and then the following week more steel work will start to go up. 


The outline of the building has started to be cladded with red metal sheets matching the outside of X. The plans show that this building will stay this colour however the building yet to be constructed will be themed. Its still unclear what the ride could be however looking at the plans this new building will have three different heights. The lowest we suspect will be the shop and baggage, the second being slightly taller than the building already constructed. The third will be directly above the pit which we believe will be the main ride area. 


Advertising around the park has continued over the week with more posters going up at the park entrance, exit and around the park. The big screen at the entrance to the park also plays the video from the minds wanted website advertising the new attraction. More news on WC16 soon!
