[2025] Project Ocean: New Forbidden Valley Flat Ride

I am trying to work out which one it might be that was 30, as I believe it was the UK.

Construction processes have indeed improved considerably, improving relability in the process. But it is worth noting that because they do have technical bulletins issued, the specific issues generally have to be incorporated into part of the inspection routine be it weekly, anual or whatever depending on the issue, regardless of age, using up resources of the park in the process. If you do not, unless there is some exceptional valid circumstances, you would fail to get a legally binding document of operational compliance (DOC) issued, which is what allows you to operate the ride with the public on.

There is afew that are 30 years old, mostly the travelling models, including the one which was at Margate for a short while but it seems that only turned 30 this year.
 
Interesting find here on Digital Dan's latest video - a shuttered doorway labelled "Biometric access" (vertically down the right side of the shutters, out of view in this shot) between Bunker 94 and Project ocean's construction walls:

The other side of the walls, they are constructing a pathway presumably leading from this doorway:

Then I see this YT short, showing the shutters open:

Could this be the beginnings of the permanent queue line or are they putting in another viewing platform to watch the construction of this ride?

Living in a city centre which has skyscrapers being constructed on every available inch of land, these turnstiles are a common site for me. Looks like its just a construction workers entrance.

Are they water pipes or electrical, logistically I can't see water effects if it is a suspended topspin due to the proximity of the path underneath but it looks like potential for water if they are.

I can zoom in and see some brown pipes, a brown pipe with a valve?? the probably electrical conduate, but also 2 light blue pipes, in the second picture

Not sure on the valve. Light blue is usually for water. Fresh, drinking water. Or water you could use in a effect.

Not sure if they follow the same practices in private land as they do on public in terms of pipe colours. You would have thought they would.

Ah that's it then, if nothing else, we'll have a fresh-water [bottle] refill station in the tunnel. 🤣

If the ride had water effects, they would also use blue pipes due to legislation requiring clean water on guests. That said, unless this is going to be a revised model it is highly unlikely water will soak the gondola and guests like the old one. As it was very problematic for HUSS....a long time has passed, maybe they developed a solution.

here are the pipes (light blue) and valve (lime green), I am not a plummer so don't quite know what they are for but it may help

The 'valve' is actually a drain. It looks odd because it is currently floating in mid-air. I guess the black grate is showing where ground level will be in the underpass once finished.

Here it is at a different angle, with another drain, out where the queue line will eventually be:

that makes sense now, also the other image quality wasn't the best, is there a larger image from this angle with similar quality? could be useful

I've just updated the Project Ocean construction archive on Towers Street to include all the photos that have appeared on TS Socials over the last month, including the full photo from my post above.
