Will there be a preview open day for us hard core PWH fans? :p

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Well, for the record, these coaster's can be erected in about 3 days. (probably sooner with more experienced people)

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I guess its the whole repaint thats taking time - we had it with the then cannonball before that was built from blue to brown then wipeout too.

I suppose it comes down to man power and money as well.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

that too yes of course

Bubbles · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Painting might be a hold up, i know those types of paints can take a LONG time to dry under theses current weather conditions, if they're using that silicone based stuff. I remember using it on one of the queue lines a few days before opening and there was a panic is just wasn't drying fast enough, took a couple of days.

Nice to see construction walls at the Hills ;) it doesn't happen very often! And it shows how much land they're wasting having it at the front of the field. Though I guess they could still stick some picnic benches over there, to help jazz up an empty spot. Thanks for the pics coolskin.

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

I hope there are signs on the other side of the walls !!!!

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Yeah, the signs they had for Wipeout were really good. Although this coaster doesn't exactly have amazing stats. I heard the radio ad today. They mention "new ride marble madness" but thats about it, no mention of it being a coaster or anything.... sounds like it could just be another fairground ride.

Some great pictures taken from Facebook...

Nice ;)

I wonder why they've left some constructed parts unpainted, with 90% of it being painted before construction?

I just thought I would give you guys a sneaky peak at the new sign board we have just put up

Ooooo! Very nice and shiny! :)

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Nice :) Could really do with some of them outside of the park grounds though.

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

When the ride is open they should put these on billboards. Looks good.

Hpeek · Enigmatic Expert

Ben, are these all your designs from before you left or have they been done by somewone else?

Everything since I left has been created by the park - Main Entrance signs, billboards, PIP Sites were all designed by me before I left. :)

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Forgive me but what are PIP Sites?

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

Nice to see that they've used Ben's branding but evolved it a little into a new style.

BenjaminBubble · Jolly Talkative

The circular Public Information Posts in Great Yarmouth :)

BenjaminBubble · Jolly Talkative

Yeah they're doing really well. There's a great new team working on social media and in house artwork - I can't wait to see what they come up with after Easter :)
