Not sure if it's worthy of going into a construction topic yet, but the site is being boarded up - which must mean construction for the new 2024 coaster is starting imminently.

I'm genuinely excited to see what they come up with, the recent additions have really strengthened the resort after many years of decline, and although Rome wasn't built in a day, they certainly feel like they're putting in a strong foundation.

Do we definitely not need planning permission for this?

Do they have a maximum height limit before they need approval?

I believe at Six Flags Great America, They can build anything under 125 feet without needing approval

How amazing that would be to be a thing in the UK! Not sure if this covered by an existing agreement, general development order (GDO) etc. I'm sure someone can advise!

It's about time Drayton did something lol. I know it's meant to be a family thrill coaster and they have very little space to work with but it might be a reason to go back there.

I also hope they never change Shockwave to a sit-down. It wouldn't be as iconic if it was a sit-down, and losing that stand up zero-g roll would be very sad. However, I can see them doing it based on some of the B&M ones already having undergone the same treatment.

OK this one's bugging me now. We have a family thrill coaster confirmed for 2024, construction fences went up 3 weeks ago and yet, as far as I can tell, nobody has the slightest idea what we can expect here. I mean, at this point it could literally be anything, right?
Do you not think it's a bit weird that nobody knows nothing? 🤔

I personally think it's quite refreshing and impressive that in this day and age, they've managed to keep it pretty much a total secret.

It will make the reveal even more exciting in my opinion ;)
