Another update... Looks like they've flattened out the north-west area of the ride, ready for turfing, which will probably only happen once the coaster has been erected:-

It's more so for site access than for turfing...
I think at this stage this is probably the most likely. Big cranes tend to like being on level ground.

It may well also become part of a turfed area, but I don't think that's what they're leveling the ground for.

Been a while, not much has changed, except some Icon advertisements on the construction fence pretty much. But here's an update from last week:-

When this was announced I assumed this would be open for the start of the season but there's still no track on site. Is this more likely going to open in the summer?

Nah this thing should fly up as soon as track arrives. I mean the track for the Smiler arrived very late the previous year, if I remember correctly and that was meant to be open for the start of the season. Yeah it was delayed by a couple of months, which I'm pretty sure was due to problems with the foundation or something, could be wrong though.

Spring 2018 has been the official word since the initial announcement. There's very little to update on at the moment, the tunnel work is almost complete as is the base for where the shop floor/tunnel roof will be.
