Marketing for Project Exodus has once again stepped up another gear. The construction walls around the site have received new stickers and marketing materials. Work on advertising the new roller-coaster has truly begun with stickers on the walls advertising the rollercoaster as opening in 2024 as well as having a side view of the rollercoaster showing off its height compared to its next-door neighbour Colossus. With Colossus standing at 98ft compared to Project Exodus standing at 236ft there’s quite a difference! We would love to see other rollercoasters at the park be added to the height difference as just having Colossus looks a bit odd. It would be good to see the height difference between Exodus, Stealth, The Swarm and Saw The Ride.
Viewing windows have also been installed to other guests a “glimpse” into the construction site. No more having to sneak your phone around the corner to see what’s going on behind the huge walls! A QR code has also been added to the fences which takes you to the Project Exodus mini site. New banners have also been added to the gates and fence posts near the construction site stating that if anyone enters the ride area Saw Alive will be stopped. With new viewing windows installed, the park has for some reason decided to block up the key lock holes to stop people peeking inside.
In the Thorpe Park Megastore shop in the centre of the park, a new model showing off the rollercoaster has been installed. It’s great to see more marketing for the rollercoaster appear. We’d love to see some merchandise appear for the ride before the name or anything is revealed.
Looking into the construction site from these new viewing windows we can see one of the foundations for the bottom of the lift hill is still being dug out and built. And next to the old Platform 15 fence we can now see some of the foundations for the break run. Work on the foundations for the station also appears to have begun with workers mainly working on that during our visit yesterday. The site is still far from being complete and ready for rollercoaster track to start flying up but we can’t wait to see this project go vertical.
