It's always
interesting to see how an attraction turns out after we have
seen it on paper. What follows is a collection of concept art
and other plans used to give us an impression before they are
actually built. |

Not only did the
fantastic theming of Tidal Wave match the great detail put in to
the following drawings, it turned out to be one of Tussaud's
best looking rides ever created. |

Even after having a budget cut mid
way through the project, Colossus still extended the dramatic Lost City theme
throughout its area. John Wardley gave everyone a hint by means of the RCT
version he made months in advance. |

If you compare the
entrance drawn below to the real life version, you will see how
tacky it actually turned out, along with the rest of the
project. The plan below shows an alternative route for the queue
line, taking it around the course of the ride without entering
over the bridge currently used. |

Nemesis Inferno was a great
addition, with quite an immersive atmosphere when in the middle. What the
concept art does not show is the one sided, tin shed volcano. Note the
alternative design also considered. |

Stealth was the ride
which turned out most different from its concept art. While
sharing the same theme and design, none of the drawings below
came to fruition. A loss was the grandstand queuing area, but we
still ended up with a great looking, vibrant ride. |

With a clean,
contemporary style, the Thorpe Park Hotel looks very attractive
in its lake side setting. |
