The sun has set over Thorpe Park which marks the end of another busy of construction at Project Exodus (Hyperia)
Huge progress has today been made on the maintenance building for the rollercoaster with more steel structures installed along with the metal supports that will hold the track for the maintenance building. No track has been installed yet but we expect it will be installed before the building is completed and a roof is installed.
Of course, the main point of focus for the construction site at the moment is building the two towers for one of the inversions. When we visited the park yesterday the second tower was tiny however on a passing-through visit today. It has grown in size and is almost as tall as the main structure standing at 165ft.
Mountings for more sections of track are now very visible and we would be shocked if we didn't see the track installed on this inversion by the end of the week. Or at least by 31st October when the park closes for the season.
Viewing Hyperia from the first bit of Monk's Walk looking over the lake the Island Landscape has never looked better. We can't wait to see this coaster grow over the closed season.
Of course updates won't stop then, Monks Walk (the public footpath) remains open 365 days!
