Re: Uncle Arly's Dev Topic - Construction 24/05/2013
As announced 5 years ago, Thelxiope was to be closed to the public and dismantled. It was widely reported on the internet and on the CoasterForce forums as the first B&M in existence to close within a year of operation. We all know the details of what happened so there is no need to drag this all up again. We have some photos of the deconstruction and of the station building which was the only thing left and has stood empty on the plot of land behind Cedar Falls ever since. These photos are just a reminder of what once stood and the plot of land available.

The fact the station building was left caused rife speculation on the forums and after 4 years of being empty without use, the station building became it's own entity just like the Black Hole Tent at Alton Towers was. Flat rides, dark rides, relocation of existing rides in the park all factored into the discussion but the station building stood ever present and empty.
However, today was have some breaking news. It seems that the station building was left for future expansion and thanks to user 'rita2006' we have a single photo of what appears to be concrete footers following a path downward from the station platform
So far, we have received no information of what manufacturer is building this and as far as we know, no track or supports are on site. It seems this is a top secret project. Whether this because of something 'world's first' we do not know. All we know is that we shall be riding something new next year. Watch this space!
