Thomas & Friends Exhibition

[RustyShackleford]

I would like to apologise to anyone I’ve annoyed by barking on about Pirate Adventure. I’m merely over enthusiastic and feel the ride could be returning next year. I have mild learning difficulties so can get stuck in a rut,ask many questions and not know when enough is enough. Lastly I feel the need to announce I’m slightly Psychic and can foresee the reopening of Pirate Adventure. I’ve predicted a few scenarios in my life that have occurred.

No worries, All are welcome here. It's a friendly enough place.

Just make sure you don't put your dirty shoes on the soft furnishings or else Elise gets annoyed.

God I can't stop laughing at that end bit. But yes everything is welcome here

Just keep topics on subject. Also to others asking for updates they will be done if someone has visited the park.

It's okay we welcome enthusiasm and appreciation for rides and the park itself

Part of my role is to oversee the forums and make sure nothing gets too crazy & things stay on track (as much as I love to discuss all aspects of the park, it's best to keep things in the right threads for better reference in future)

I try not to be that bad but I do have to step in on occasion to help point things in the direction of another thread
(Also, that made me laugh )

Is there a planned opening date for the exhibition?

Is there a planned opening date for the exhibition?

At this time there is not.

But we will probably hear something soon (or the walls will come down and it'll just be )

With the looks of it it might be ready for Halloween event

I think at the rate it is currently going it will likely be finished by Halloween, like you said or at the latest Magical Christmas.

Yes is should definitely be finished by magical Christmas

 

[Themeparksandy1981]

I think it will be Christmas as they will only be Thomas land and select family rides open.

I think Halloween because half of its finished now so it should be open for Halloween

Would make more sense as part of magical Christmas because there's a reduced offering at that time usually (?) So something new may be nice here.

Now I'm thinking about it yes it probably would

 

[alfie8]

I'm guessing since these are in the Exhibition thread they will be used in it?

Don't know if anyone posted this but stemytenk posted images of Maithwate, and bulgys bridge in the wiki from back in April of this year. I think someone already posted old slow coach

I also noticed the cow shed from Big Strong Henry.

I was the one who posted all these. But it's like a reminder of then

I think the trains or other items will only run when pressed as noticed this today?

They were working on the other side of the set this afternoon.

When you say about that button, do you mean when staff press it or if its left on display for public to press?

It looks like it ain’t connected yet but there’s lots of white cables underneath the display so it could become an interactive display for families.
It also means when it ain’t busy the engines ain’t going round all day and burning out their electric motors.
With only roughly 11 weeks left of the main season I can’t see it been ready to at least the start of the Christmas event in November.
As if you remember originally it was listed to open end of Spring, then end of summer and now just said closed for redevelopment.
