Really great work so far. I love the attention to detail in the story telling.
The new roof is a great improvement I have no shame in saying that it's a much better building than Blithering Lodge. Now get cracking and give us some world class coasters!
Hey, no problem! Thanks very much, that's a great comment. I'm not so sure about it being better than the Lodge (Blithering has an unmatched view and you know it!) but I can promise that in the next few updates a coaster will definitely appear. Did somebody say wood?
Another day at Berrington Manor, and finally some attractions seem to be on the horizon.
I arrived at lunch time to see a very tranquil looking Manor. The Lord had invited me to show me 'something special'. I predicted another pathway. To be honest, nothing much has happened lately and things are beginning to get a tad dull.
Yet on the horizon, I could see the huge crane above. It seemed to be working on the Fairytale Forest section of the park, and for a moment I thought that Lord Berrington had begun work on a coaster without telling me. I was a little annoyed - he had promised to give me the dates of any track delivery, knowing how attached I'd become to the project - yet I wasn't to worry.
The Lord found me and took me over to the development.
"The crane will be used during rollercoaster construction, yet for now, we're just using it to help out on the assembly of this cute little wheel. Nonetheless, our first attraction!" he smiled.
Over the treeline, I could see a ride involving planes, testing high above. I inquired yet the Lord just tapped his nose and ushered me back past Crumble Cottage. He was being secretive. This obviously was a separate area to Fairytale Forest.
"Our first thrill ride!" he declared, beaming.
The second hand Enterprise ride seemed most at home, under the name of "Witch's Web". Representing a witch's curse, riders can glide above the treetops in gondolas on a pivot. The additional tower theming looks very nice too. He invited me in for supper after and, as always, he ended up a little dizzy from a glass of port too many. He eagerly took me outside to show me his next secret.
"Here! Opening night isn't too far away and so we're testing out the lighting. What do you think, old bean?"
I approved very much yet had to get home due to the late hour. On may way out I slipped through the gardens.
I caught this last shot. These developments make me hope that these beautiful gardens are not left behind in a big rush to commercialize the place.
And that concludes today's visit! As usual, replies and comments are very welcome!
