Well here it is, the track is at Thorpe Park and the construction time for the track has begun. Well as that opening sentence said track for the new ride at Thorpe Park coded named LC12 otherwise known as the swarm now is now on site. And as previewed before the track spotted at the B&M plant was in fact the track that would be going to Thorpe Park. Now it is still unsure if the seats are going to be moving as B&M could of made a new way to make the seats move but it is still very unlikely that this is what is going to happen, as there is only 1 main track! We shall also be visiting Thorpe Park in the next few weeks to have a huge Thorpe Park the swarm update such as the marketing and other stuff that we have got plained for the 2012 theme park season on the website! Also a big thanks to the people over at www.coasterforce.com who have aloud us to use some of there photos on this post, a link here the post where the photos are from.

Well today is the 1st August 2011 the day we find out what the count down is counting down to! And wow what a surprise we have been given today, a new mini site with the name of the ride and also a look at the design of the cars of the ride and given a look at the fact that there is going to be a project build blog on the mini site keeping theme park nerds like us busy during the holidays. Now after looking around the site for a while the video on the homepage is currently not working but that should be fixed soon we hope and there's a page called "Missing Wall" now we don't know what that is going to have on it but we think it could be a ride it first page or something like that! But hopefully Thorpe Park are going to have a annual pass ONLY preview day for the ride and we promise we shall be doing a LIVE event on the day it opens! But it is still unclear if the seats are going to spin making it a 4D version of this coaster! But until then we shall have to see, keep checking back for the latest news!

The construction of the land the ride is going to be located on looks to be start as there are lots if diggers on the site which seem to be digging a big hole right where the station is going to be going! Although there are lots of diggers on the site I don't think the main working on the land is going to start until the start of July but you never know Thorpe Park do seem very fast with their building of roller coasters! We shall keep you updated as the building goes on, photos copyright to theme park guide.

After looking around the B&M website we have found some photos of a shipment of track which arrived onsite today (the making plant) which looks like the track for the Thorpe Park LC12 rollercoaster! The colour, size and look of the track ticks all of the boxes of the new ride for Thorpe Park! Could this be what the LC12 website is counting down to? But one thing is sure though it looks as if Thorpe Parks roller coaster track should be onsite very soon, July at the earliest but we could be wrong just like we said ground work should start in June but its already started! Could the ride project be running ahead of schedule then.
