Cost cutting !
I think get 2 flats in x sector for the start of 2026 and then start this. Gangsta granny et al are not my faves but I’d deal with that after project horizon
Also the Horizon/Coaster Corner site is extremely noise sensitive, hence PH being in a building in the first place.Just had a thought regarding PH...
If Towers didn't have the restrictions on where they could build rides, I would have loved to see an intamin multi-launch that starts in DF then crosses over into the horizon site for a long twisted layout like taron and taiga.
But obviously it wouldn't be accepted because of the sitelines of the towers. Unless... They dig a trench for the ride to dive into to cross over to that plot of land, like hades 360 at mt olympus. Oh the dream![]()
Noise cancelling tunnels like the ones on wooden coasters maybeAlso the Horizon/Coaster Corner site is extremely noise sensitive, hence PH being in a building in the first place.
Flávio’s was still there during the run event but was closed all weekend.Actually, to answer my own point, it looks like Flavios might have been removed after Christmas last year. In Danny's photos from January 2023, it was all folded up, looking like it was ready to be transported off site.
I do find it funny that they use 20 year old maps for such things.
Why not... I guess... but also why?
I can only theorize but it's probably just easier to use a map that the council have already signed off on (and for this exact purpose) a couple of times before and its one less hurdle to jump in the application process rather than producing a new one that they then have to put their stamp of approval on.I do find it funny that they use 20 year old maps for such things.

I would also think that it would probably be very expensive to get a new one done, for such a large property (map making can be really expensive) as it would all have to be surveyedI can only theorize but it's probably just easier to use a map that the council have already signed off on (and for this exact purpose) a couple of times before and its one less hurdle to jump in the application process rather than producing a new one that they then have to put their stamp of approval on.
Obviously there have been considerable changes in ride hardware since that map was first created but in terms of the woodland there's been very little.
