Project Exodus Prepares To Go Vertical

Thorpe Park
Monday 4th September 2023

Exciting times for Project Exodus might be just days away! 


Rumours about the project going vertical this week have been circulating the community since the end of last week. Although the site might not be complete for foundations for the supports it's expected that the station might be the first section to go vertical and be installed. 


The foundation base for the station has been poured and looks ready for steelwork. Which has been delivered and is being stored down Monks Walk. There’s a large amount of steelwork down the access road but it's important to remember that there are two buildings to build. The station and the maintenance area which we expect will be the last bit to be installed seeing as it will be down part of the access road. 


Looking at the foundations for the station, the ground pins for roller-coaster supports can be seen sticking out the base. These will be where the supports anchor to the foundations. There will also be a space below the ride for maintenance staff to inspect the ride each morning. Supports and foundations for the maintenance building are still work in progress. 


Viewing the site from Colossus and Saw The Ride a lot of foundations for the rollercoaster now appear to be complete. We would take a guess and say 80% of the foundations for the roller-coaster are now complete. Meanwhile, at The Swarm storage island, lots more supports have been delivered but no sign of any track yet! 


The construction site for Project Exodus is very busy and it shouldn’t be long until we see support's and the station building go virtual.
