Paultons Park | Farmyard Flyer | Custom Zierer Force | 2022

I guess this should have it's own thread..?

We know the name, we know the ride type, and the station build is well under construction (including the airgates already!). We now have some on park advertising:

Presumably the cred itself will be rather basic, but I think we're all more looking forward to seeing how the theming progresses!

I love that they’ve chosen such an upbeat, whimsical theme for the area that can be so readily expanded.

Edit: also can you believe that this will be their seventh coaster, tying them with Thorpe and almost double Chessington! On paper their family offering is so good, let alone when you throw in the great theming in the newest areas.

And think without Peppa Pig this would have all probably not been possible!

 

[CrashCoaster]

And think without Peppa Pig this would have all probably not been possible!

I agree, using the Peppa Pig IP for a new area happened to be the best business decision they ever made.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Has this been shown yet?

I like the rusty turbojet engine they've put on the front.

That's actually a turboprop.

 

[Peet]

That's actually a turboprop.

Nah I don't think you'd have a turboprop on a crop duster biplane, that definitely looks more like a rotary piston propeller engine to me .

 

[Jared]

Looks like the design of a bloody roller coaster train to me. Christ knows what you guys are seeing!

 

[X: Uknown]

That's actually a turboprop.

What's the difference?

 

[Ethan]

What's the difference?

Well the big propeller in the artwork is a clue

 

[CrashCoaster]

It looks like a turbojet engine but with two propeller blades on the front.

 

[Hixee]

Fine - you did ask:

@Peet is actually right though, on a plane like that I think turbo-anything might be a bit optimistic.

Yay for engineering.

 

[Peet]

And the rotary piston:

This is much older technology, from before gas turbines were invented, typical for biplanes such as the crop duster that Paultons are going for .

Overview of the site, from here it’s easy to make out the layout from the footers, also there are some pictures from ground level.

Another look at the station building now that the scaffolding has gone:

Ooh, that looks very nice!

Interesting that they seem to have built the station before building the coaster, though…

 

[MackMan]

I did not know about this project until now. Honestly even though its going to be a small cred, it still is impressive this is being added so quickly. The station also looks pretty sexy.

 

[Niles]

Some pics of construction I took today at Paultons Lots of ground work was taking place and a lot of workers were busy inside the station, while just a another family coaster in person the station looks on par with Storm Chasers which Is great as many of the other coaster stations in the park are bland.





Sadly nothing to exciting but hay I think this ground pad is new

Blue track is not what I expected at all. I am slightly worried that it won't blend in with area but we'll see. But yeah obviously that's a Zierer Force, there's no denying.
