I am surprised that no ground work has happened. It looks as it did on Dec 23rd when I went up there. I think a lot of it may be down to this planning app decision which should be tues.

Thanks for sharing them! A few things to note:

- Them pics show just how BIG Wipeout is compared to the rest of the park
- The positioning of Thunderstruck could have been better...
- Whats the blue stuff lying near Jolly Roger's site>
- Mobile homes for the circus act are still there
- It looks like the Woodycoptors aren't right next to the Vet cars, I guess that Sky Hooks are?

The blue things near Jolly's site were there before xmas, I am sure they were parts of TT.

Yes agree Martyn when you see it from the air TT looks dumped as close as possible to the parrots.

I wont go as far as using the word 'dumped', as I'm really impressed with what they're doing with it this year.

Maybe that plot right infront of Wipeout has been ear marked for future developement...?

^ Exactly! I think it's great positioning there! When you see the pictures from above it is clear that it has been placed in a way that maximises available space in front of Wipeout - which is great as it allows for further development there!

^ BUT, will it not feel a bit too messy with another ride there? I think it would have been nice enough to just have Thunderstruck in the middle of that grass area, with nice scenery around it. But I guess thats being too picky?

I'm not so sure, I think in the future we may have been disappointed at the placement of such a permanent thing if we were looking for places for new rides. From above you can see how a large ride could utilise that space, as well as the grass next to the castle and the grass behind the Wavebreaker thing.
