Paultons Park: General Discussion

Wild Swing on site too. For a May opening they certainly seem to be getting everything ready very early. Perhaps because they are so focussed on their landscaping, gardening and theming they want to get everything built early so they have the time to work on that.

To an extent but also the manufacturer was ready to ship and if Paultons didn’t take delivery they would have been charged storage. You often find rides/ track arriving before it’s needed for installation.

Obviously the park give the manufacturer an idea of when they want it as well.
 
Seen the latest update and from what I’ve seen of the Vikijgs constructions sites they are absolutely wild with the lack of H&S measures.

Very very surprising
 
At a guess it looks like some at height working without proper harnessing, but I can't tell how high they are and dont know what the actual rules are.
 
You've also got better chance of getting concrete poured and set now than later in winter, especially if it turns to be a damp one.

H&S should be covered in the RAMS submitted by the contractors. HSE will have them if it is reported.
 
Paultons Park has sent an email to the Super Fans group confirming "its brand-new world, Valgard, will open on Saturday 16th May 2026.".

The email goes on to invite those in receipt to "Be among the first warriors to brave Drakon, Paultons Park's most thrilling coaster yet". Presumably it also opens on that date.

It's gonna be an awesome addition Cobra finally getting theming it deserves and that area will be more immersive
 
Can’t really understand even if it’s just a temporary fit that they re-themed the edge to fit the area as it really just needs the ride repainted, the op cabin themed to suit and a new name. I did see in vlogs that in front of the ride the fencing had Viking details added.
