Pandemonium

It’s probably been taken down for maintenance as it was used for the Christmas event in 2019.
Is them your pictures Ben?

no they arent mine they are from one of the park staffs instagram storys and they show that they are taking it all down and everything

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

It should be all cleared for the start of the Christmas event. I wonder if they will advertise what’s new for 2022. They really need to get it open at Easter at the latest

 

[Wilko]

I hope so, I hate secrecy, it also builds up expectation too much, like when people thought the Wave Swinger was going to an intense coaster!

It would be nice if they revealed what the next phase was sooner rather than later.

 

[Immelmanloop]

I presume the next installation will be visible, at least with some groundworks by the end of magical christmas, but I really doubt they're gonna put another coster there without removing buffalo, which doesn't seem to be going this winter, not without the area becoming saturated. Really, they need a coaster in the pirate adventure building or some major attraction in that area to thin the crowds a bit.

Surely if it was to be a new coaster a planning application would have appeared? Given its close proximity to residential houses.

Most certainly the new ride(s) would be a flat ride as DMP are unlikely to need a planning application although they will have to take into account the noise levels of the ride(s) and make a noise assessment given that Cyclone was a ride residents complained about.

 

[Ben R]

its almost gone!

 

[Ben R]

And its gone

 

[Wilko]

Fingers crossed they use that whole Pademonium and Test Track area for a new attraction.

Wow, looping really don't mess around. I was expecting it to still be standing at Xmas and gone in the longer closed season Jan to March. Good sign that the void will be filled quickly though.

 

[Ben R]

it has been sold like VertiGo

[Paul]

I wonder if its been sold to another park or just for scrap

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

I think the ride still got years left and the Sky Flyer that was there before that is still operating.

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Off ride

POV

I preferred the Sky flyer to Pandemonium.

 

[remlap]

I preferred the Sky flyer to Pandemonium.

I agree, I found sky flyer less intense and more comfortable to ride.

Looks like it's still running well nearly 20 years later.

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Looks so weird now it’s gone

 

[Theme Park Musician]

So what's gonna replace it then???

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

Currently nothing think it be left as it is to Apocalypse is sold/removed and I think a new/2nd hand coaster will take over Apocalypse, Pandemonium and Test track site.

 

[Wilko]

I agree, we might see something temporarily pop up in its place, but I'd imagine they will argue they are replacing it with a few new flats on the Triangles area by the Buffalo. I can't see Apocalypse going past next season, so it'll be the 2023 season when something starts happening there.

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

In Shawn’s latest vlog all around the site and test track there is marking on the ground. Think we see it all removed in January.

 

[Wilko]

Interestingly those markings also continue all the way up around Apocalypse, it's a huge space of markings. It will be interesting to see if anything is put there this year, with something replacing Apocalypse later, or if they will wait until Apocalypse has gone and build one attraction on the whole area.
