There goes my attempts to get any good photos haha (As we all know how short I am...)
I'll see what I can do though. Will be onsite tonight so can at least get some photos of the boards.

Can you see any of the site?

Can you see any of the site?

TThe current view looks like below. There are new fences up and they're quite solid. You can of course see from tall rides in the area but as filming / photography is prohibited on rides there won't be updates from these locations

I know we are all curious but I’m looking forward to no updates on this one as hopefully the end result will be a nice surprise.

Was talking to park management today and they gonna try to keep the coaster layout a secret as long as possible. All footers will be done during the season with track installation starting during the Christmas event in November.

Will we not see a planning application put in to the council though?

Does it need to have one? I always thought they had an arrangement similar to Pleasure Beach where as long as it’s below a certain height it doesn’t need planning permission.

Interesting, never knew this will be a surprise then

They can build up to 25m in height I remember seeing somewhere but only in approved area

The last ride that they needed planning permission for was Apocalypse.
Lichfield council and local residents would have seen the plans as they had major problems with the locals over noise for that end of the park.
That’s the reason they had to remove there enterprise and build Drunken Barrels boxed in on 3 sides

I want to see the plans only so many times I can keep reading there 5 year plan

I see they have added graphics to the wooden fencing around the construction site. Looks so much better!

Think it might be a space coaster as they are giving hints in the discripsion

What are you referring to? I don't follow on this one.

[Elise]

I think that means more "wait and see" and isn't referring to any themes

So far I can't see any real theme to it all... The colour scheme of the construction boards matches the entrance signs at both sides of the park around the gates.

So that confirms what management said to me on Sunday that they happy to let you know it’s gonna be a coaster but they not gonna tell you to the coaster is going up.
