THORPE PARK<\/strong> has given thrill seekers a first look at a brand new rollercoaster that\u2019s set to be the tallest and fastest in the UK when it opens next year.<\/p>\n

The Surrey-based theme park's latest addition, code-named Project Exodus, will be ready sometime in 2024 – although it\u2019s not been confirmed when exactly this will be.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

However, Thorpe Park has released a point-of-view video featuring a detailed look at the white-knuckle ride\u2019s layout and its elements for the very first time.<\/p>\n

At 236ft tall, the hypercoaster, built by Mack Rides, will swipe the crown<\/span> of the UK\u2019s tallest rollercoaster from Blackpool Pleasure Beach\u2019s The Big One, which stands just one foot shorter at 235ft tall.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also set to smash speed records when it opens to the public, reaching a velocity of 81mph. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s just 1mph faster than the park\u2019s Stealth ride, which currently holds the title of the fastest rollercoaster in the UK.<\/p>\n

The coaster is set to boast three inversions including a dive loop, an Immelmann (where the coaster climbs a hill, performs a half-loop, and then twists 180 degrees to level out in the opposite direction) and a unique one-of-a-kind inversion that sends riders upside down as they come out of an outerbank turn.<\/p>\n

This inversion is said to be special in that it\u2019s never been done on a rollercoaster before and is so new that it doesn\u2019t even have an official name yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will involve the rollercoaster following a curved track element where the track tilts outward, away from the centre of the curve and before being taken directly into an inversion.<\/p>\n

The arrival of Project Exodus will be the first major rollercoaster to open at Thorpe Park<\/span> since the Swarm in 2012.<\/p>\n

According to The Coaster Kings, construction of the new rollercoaster has begun, and the foundations are already in position. <\/p>\n

Gold-coloured support columns for the ride have also recently been delivered to the construction site, the theme park enthusiast website claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When plans were first unveiled to the public in 2021, the resort said the new ride was a reaction to the impact the Covid-19 pandemic<\/span> had on the park\u2019s admission numbers.<\/p>\n

"Thorpe Park Resort aims to continue to invest in the Park\u2019s attractions to encourage more people to return to the Resort now that the tourism industry has re-opened,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

"This key investment and the introduction of new attractions is critical to the Resort\u2019s recovery from the Covid-related impacts on the business.<\/p>\n

"With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that we are proposing to add an exciting new rollercoaster to Thorpe Park Resort\u2019s portfolio of world-class attractions.<\/p>\n

The park said that Project Exodus will offer visitors \u201can exhilarating experience\u201d where they\u2019ll be transported from the station structure around a new track over water.<\/p>\n

A maintenance building is also proposed to the west of the station building and there will be associated facilities provided such as a food and beverage outlet and photo shop.<\/p>\n

And here's everything to know about another secret ride, this time opening at Alton Towers<\/span>.<\/p>\n
