Impressed, I like it and it looks like the train will be integrated nicely into the theme.
excellent, l look forward to seeing the real thing.

Wow I love the idea of a New York subway train theme. Those impressions have got me semi excited about it!

These are going to be far superior to other Dodgems. That just makes it even more strange for them to keep both.

Whilst it's great that they'll be integrating the train well with the theme, a little part of me feels these just won't fit in well with the park (despite looking great as a standalone attraction). Hopefully I'll be proved wrong when they're open though! :D

I completely get what you mean Juranamo. I've been thinking the same thing. PWH does have a nice natural feel to it, and something so futuristic could look out of place.

Probably because the location is a bit odd.

The roof is up and the area of the ride looks around the same size of a standard travelling one, as said before here I expect the train will form part of the que line and controls

It looks to me like the arena is set up like a circuit with a central curbed area. Possibly going for the racing feel of dodgems rather than the normal free for all smash up? Who knows.

Well the artist impressions show an island as such in the middle with all the cars lined up in it, so that does make sense.

Having a racing aspect would certainly be unique. Racing dodgems would be very similar to banger racing as such!

Unless this is their way of super imposing the "ONE WAY ROUND THE TRACK" rule!lol

Hell of a lot of money for an old banged up Dodgem ride.

That's a lot for what it is, considering that Brean got Astro Storm for 100,000 (four man bob coaster in the dark, formerly SI2 at Blackpool) it's a lot of money for Dodgems.

£80,000 can't surely be correct? They've been shafted if so! Its not a 'news breaking' addition and should have been spent on other things without a doubt. Some theming to the standard of timber falls for marble madness or enigma would have given the park a more professional image but no lets leave them generic, and bang another generic attraction (debatable) in there to go with it!

£80,000 is probably the total project cost.

maybe it's 80k in total, not for just the dodgems.
If it is then they better be the best dam dodgems ever!!

Id like to think so,
Then again it's not just the ride, it's installing it, peoples wages have to be paid.

Nah that won't be for the whole park. They even typed "the £80,000 Hyper Drive Dodgems".

I guess it could be that much, they've been building it for the past few weeks and each worker will be pretty well paid and if there's several of them it all adds up, plus materials. plus the ride itself, plus the groundwork. and if some of it was contracted out, and plant hire. I can see where all that 80k went.

Still seems quite pricy though.
