The lift hill for Hyperia has started to rise into the air! Over the past few days, workers have been busy building the structure for the lift hill. Mount points for the first drop can be seen on the structure as it starts to rise into the air.
The skyline of Thorpe Park is about to change dramatically!
Work on adding theming to the station building continues with gold strips added to the front of the building where your journey on Hyperia begins. The design on the front of the station appears to be quite simple but it's good to see this side of the station receiving some work.
During our short visit to Monks Walk this evening we watched 3 supports fly into the air and being installed for the lift hill. The structure can change very quickly when parts fit together the first time. Around the rest of the site, the new shop and photo unit has had more walls installed and is coming together nicely. The old electric building for Loggers Leap has been repainted black to fit in and lots of supports and sections of track can be seen on the ground ready to be installed over the next few days. With tomorrow being the weekend we expect these sections are being stored here ready for Monday.
With the shutter for the maintenance bay fully open today we can see where the train enters the maintenance bay and the track ends so the wheels and train can be moved and checked.
