Thomas & Friends Exhibition

Some updates today!

There are more walls up which have moved outward a bit more. There are some of the Submarine Splash ones up on the ramp side.

Looking through where we could there's a lot more buildings and track in place

I would say it's only a few weeks away now.

Over where the old exhibition was, the shutters are closed and signage all removed.

Oh. I'm going to guess that they are going to turn the building into a storage unit for the models and props that aren't going to be displayed on the new layout.
I think they might have enough space for that over at Winston's side.

I would say the area as a whole by the exhibition may be changing as there's a lot of units and space there that aren't in use currently
 
It is odd to see it with nothing on
Yeah. Also, the Neptune Refreshments building from the old exhibition was put on display at the Tugs Exhibition Spring Event at the Midland Railway Centre last weekend.

I think it would be really cool to see a museum of all the props they don't use. I highly doubt this will be the case, but it would be nice none the less!
 
Agreed! I feel this will be their focus after the 2024 plans
Thirded! If Submarine Splash continues to be a hit and the Terence rumours prove correct, if the carpark behind Submarine Splash doesn't work out, could see them using the space for a All Engines Go area or larger expansion attraction.
 
I think so. Does anybody know if it has been open at all for this season?

Yes he did once in March of dinosaurs but hasn't since the carts were out today and I sign a the front saying now closed so I hope it does go back to its original spot
 
Did go look at the remains of the original exhibition and I think it's just going to either
1 left to rust
2 made part of the zoo

And the same goes for Terrence. I got a picture of it
