Build Update
Posted by THORPE PARK on Nov 17, 2008 in Development Diary
Monday 17th November
Gerstlauer have now completed the bulk of the electrical and pneumatic installation and their next step will be commissioning the ride, which is scheduled to start in January.
The internal and external cladding of the station building continues and the internal walls, which will separate certain aspects of the ride experience within the station building, have begun to be installed. Over the last few days, we have also seen the commencement of the electrical work, including the lighting and power.
The general area around the ride is starting to take shape with some of the foundations for theming being prepared and the excavation of the channel which will turn the site for SAW - The Ride, into an island. The railway track for CCR is being laid and the Landscape team have moved in for the plantation of ‘foliage’. The fencing around the ride’s low spots has been done, and the surrounding areas have been themed to look run-down to fit in with the derelict sawmill in which SAW - The Ride will be based.
Don’t forget to head over to the ‘Disciples of Saw’ section of the microsite to enter our ‘Ride it First’ competition, you wouldn’t want to miss out on such an opportunity!
Thanks,
Keith Workman

“Which will separate certain aspects of the ride experience within the station building” Sounds very interssting :O! You’ve certainly thought alot about this, with the run-down theme etc.

So I stayed up WAY too late the other night and got caught up into watching some infomercials and really liked one in particular. It struck me as funny and inetersting at the same time.

I just came across your website, I opened it but did not go through it yet. The description about the website is pretty interesting, will take a look at my convenient time.

Ha!
You would think that they world have OK’d it at the beginning instead of allowing it to go so long without saying a thing and then bringing it back up when it was too late. I don’t understand it at all. Hoodia
