Biggest skyscraper ride update#
In the latest video update posted to YouTube by Jack Silkstone we now see the arrival of the lower gold supports to the temporary location on Island A next to Swarm Island at Thorpe Park. We will keep you updated on further construction progress on Project Exodus at Thorpe Park and hope that the next update will indeed include the news that construction is going vertical! Image: SMYTHEMAN ARCHITECTURALĪugust 17 - Project Exodus will take the crown from The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach when it opens next year at Thorpe Park as the tallest roller coaster in the UK. The ride station footprint is now in place and this should be having its concrete poured in the next few days as well as work being done on the maintenance building. The very exciting thing to mention is that from recent developments it looks like we are very close to vertical construction which is expected to begin in a few weeks time. On site, it looks very busy with construction vehicles and building materials scattered everywhere.

Guests are now invited to "Take a glimpse" to view construction through the four circular windows which look directly onto the site. On one image you get to see the comparison between Colossus which stands at 98ft and Project Exodus which is set to hit 236ft. There are images displayed of the upcoming attraction in gold which contrasts vividly against the black background. New branding has now appeared on the hoarding surrounding the construction site in Old Town which carries the colours of Project Exodus being black, white and gold which looks very impressive. In the video we also get to see a model of Project Exodus at the Thorpe Park Megastore which will certainly delight guests visiting the park in the following months prior to the opening. They are being stored in this location before being transported to the Project Exodus site. More gold supports have arrived to Swarm island along with a number of white supports. In the latest update posted by Jack Silkstone to YouTube on September 5, we see a number of exciting developments.
It was also recently announced by Thorpe Park on National Roller Coaster Day, August 16, that Project Exodus will also be the fastest roller coaster in the UK hitting 81mph, taking the title from Thorpe Park's Stealth launch coaster which has a maximum speed of 80mph.

So the top was mainly added for height and looks and functions as an antenna tower.įunctional height: The Shanghai Tower's top floor is higher, and it's observation decks (there are two) are higher. However, the top floor is only at 584 meters, the rest of it is unoccupied tower that ends with an antenna. Height: The Burj measures 829.8 m (2,722 ft), so it is 198 meters taller. Both were largely designed by Marshall Strabala who is an American architect who specialized in designing the tallest buildings. The present (2018) two tallest buildings are often compared. In 2013, the inner concrete core, around which the rooms were built, was exposed. Shenzhen's Ping'an Financial Center's hotel and Guangzhou's CTF Finance Center's Rosewood will be higher when opened perhaps in 2018 or 2019.
