The very first images in the Image report in the official planning documents seem to indicate that the ride's station building will receive some attention in addition to the replacement of the track and supports.

This park is clearly trying to become the Chessington of Yorkshire. I'm sure they'll take down The Ultimate eventually and some family coasters will most likely be installed over the coming years to replace it and Raptor Attack.

SAW is alive and kicking. There is talk of the original villain returning for another installment of the legendary horror franchise. It is likely that the new SAW film will be released by the time that Exodus opens so I can see that side of the park being very busy.

I can see them removing Saw at some point but I reckon they'll develop a coaster on the island behind Swarm before then. Going back to Exodus, it certainly will be the most impressive inverting coaster in the park. The hangtime through the stall/immelmmann will elevate it above anything else in...

I was quite worried about how Project Exodus would completely dwarf Colossus and Saw though it's only Saw that sits beneath Exodus . On the plus side, it'll mean shorter queues for us at Saw xD

It's going to dwarf absolutely everything at Thorpe Park period. You're going to see it from everywhere in the park. It's honestly super exciting that the UK is finally getting an American sized coaster.

Some new concept art has landed of what looks like a heavily themed dueling woodie. Basically Joris on steroids.

Just what a UK park surrounded by NIMBYs needs. Looks great!

A new webpage has landed for the new area with a new teaser video. Definitely looks like Vikings! https://www.draytonmanor.co.uk/invasion?fbclid=IwAR1gOPCw1E28ORy-FU5fjLAYnWGs4IvnvnylR4ukr3H0asR5geKDOUSXDbQ

That's just the Creative Lead hinting that they were about to start the planning process. A Creative Lead is the Creative Director of a new Merlin attraction. Every Creative Lead has a Project Manager behind them.

That would be way too intense.

Thorpe Park's Creative Lead posted a cryptic Tweet the day before leaftlets were delivered around Thorpe's local area. His job is to design themed attractions so it's very likely that Project Exodus is going to be themed.

It's probably a very modern Sci-Fi theme given that we saw a poster in Trailers of an alien abduction with 'X:/ODUS'

That'd be a bit of shame. I always found Brendan Fraser asking for a cup of coffee to be on the amusing side.

Ahhhh so that's what the splash plaza is for. Jokes aside 'Exodus' means some sort of long journey and this is especially ironic considering how short the ride's layout is (which isn't a bad thing, Nemesis is short but pack a real punch) unless we could see the longest lift hill duration in...

The Q&A for the afternoon one happens at the end of that video.

My first ride on Nemesis was quite the shock. It was my first time greying out on a ride and at a young age it came as a real surprise. The Ride To Happiness.... I didn't expect the back row to be as forceful as it was due to the spinning. Never experienced anything quite like it before. Icon...

This is very much my plan for next year: 1. Balder 2. Helix 3. Valkyria 4. Kondaa 5. Taron 6. F.L.Y 7. Black Mamba 8. Colorado Adventure 9. Storm Chaser 10. Flight of the Pterosaur

For anyone who didn't make it to the virtual consultation, they have uploaded the recording:

I'd have to pick Compagnie des Alpes. Their parks look incredibly well after and I like how they're plussing Walibi Belgium with new themed areas. Their recent coaster investments seem to always be on the strong side and Untamed is easily in my top 10.
