Project Exodus is just months away from reaching new heights, with ground pins finally delivered to the site. These ground pins were delivered earlier this year and have been sitting in storage waiting for the site to be ready.
These ground pins are what the supports for the rollercoaster bolt into.
Towards the back of the site, foundations can be seen ready for ground pins to be installed. From the ground, you can't see much but while riding Colossus, Saw The Ride or Samarui you can see towards the back of the site that lots of work has happened for where the base of the first drop will be.
At the front of the site, it looks like work for the station might have begun. With little trenches dug, mapping the layout of what could be the station building.

Marketing for Project Exodus hasn't officially begun yet however at the exit for Samarui we've spotted a new "Project Exodus" banner that has been installed. And this isn't the only new marketing that's been installed since last week, new metal signage has been added to the construction offices.
The project name "Project Exodus" along with "Taking Thrills" and "To New Heights" has been engraved onto new gold-coloured sheets of metal. Meaning anyone walking towards the area from Nemesis Inferno way will see these. Could this shade of gold be the new colour scheme recently spotted on new construction plans submitted?
Around the rest of the construction site, work continues on drilling new foundations for the rollercoaster. Work on removing the old basses of the Loggers Leap drop continues, corgated metal previously seen holding back water and earth can be seen in the skip ready to be removed.
It shouldn't be long until this project really starts to get exciting!

A crane has appeared at the Project Exodus construction site, this is being used to help lower metal poles into the ground for foundations for the new rollercoaster. Holes are drilled into the ground where metal rebar is then lowered in followed by long metal poles, then concreate poured in. These will then become the base for the rollercoaster supports.
Elsewhere around the construction site, the site offices have expanded with B&E who was recently used at Chessington for World Of Jumanji settling into their new home for the next few months. Metal out cuts of logos from previous projects can be seen on the sides of the roof top.
It would also appear that work on removing the foundations for the old pump houses for Loggers Leap has begun. Located at the bottom of both lift hills where metal sheets to help retain water when the edge of the lake was closer. We expect that these will be removed over the next few weeks then filled in.
And yes… the Platform 15 fence is still standing! Who would have thought a B&Q fence would outlast Loggers Leap.
It won’t be long until we see more exciting progress happen!

Work on drilling foundations for Project Exodus Thorpe Park's newest rollercoaster began last week and this week we saw the delivery of new construction site offices from the company B&E who helped build and construct The World Of Jumanji at Chessington and lots of Merlin Projects.
Unforcently the location of these site offices blocks an amazing view of the site from the Old Town toilets. But we're sure as the project gets more exciting you won't need to stand on a rock to see how huge this rollercoaster will be.
When riding Saw The Ride you can see the construction crew has been really busy recently and how lots of foundations have already been drilled. Completed foundations can be seen spray-painted blue.

Foundations for project exodus at Thorpe Park have begun.
A huge pilling machine has arrived on site ready to drill holes into the ground for supports to be mounted onto.
Metal rebar can also be seen on the floor ready for the holes to be dug and then have the metal put in and concrete poured in.
