Interesting. See projects towards the bottom of the page. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/bradley-wynne-92054343.
It may not need planning permission as, as I understand it, the smilers track technically didn't need planning permission because of its location but the station building did (please feel free to tell me if I am talking nonsense).The time scales fit in with major attractions, would reckon these to be in mutiny bay/Katanga Canyon and Forbidden Valley. Both are on larger time scales than Derren Brown's ghost train. Is there still a chance 2017 wooden coaster is going ahead, as all the plansfor that fit into place apart from plans not being seen, and while this is very, very unlikely, would it be able to get through planning permission without us seeing, or not even require it? Obviously this is unlikely but I would expect the projects to be deleted off there if they weren't going ahead, and I can't see the flume replacement being planned in November 2014, November 2014 would fit in with the proposed timber truss construction rides early stages, and August 2015 could be when the flukes future was decided. I honestly thing everything may be back on schedule.
What did happen last time?I Don't think they will try to build a woodie in FV because of what happened last time
I'm sure they submitted pp for a fv woodie near air, but was declined due to local residents complaints over it "spoiling the beauty of the valley" and "creating noise". The plans were for 2005.
It's interesting to see the planned timescales involved - work began in late 2014 for the 2017 attraction and late 2015 for the 2018 attraction, so they're looking at a 3-year cycle?
From the info on the LinkedIn page we can see that cycles for Sub Terra and Octonauts took less than a year to complete, and Galactica about 18 months, so make of that what you will.
However last year there was an Environmental Impact Assessment that seemed to indicate they were looking at a cross-valley woodie. https://towersstreet.com/talk/threads/2017-sw8-speculation.3182/page-16#post-132465
