Gerstlauer for Pleasureland Southport?

Oh wow, the rumours make complete sense now. I love this park and am pleased to see it rise again. With four Euro Fighters in the UK, there's also less incentive for Thorpe to keep hold of Saw any longer than they need to. ;)
 
Also, is that a double inverting (slightly corner stall) zero G, or are my eyes deceiving me? Similar to Untamed but less corner/more drawn out?

Yeah the original announcement was nearly 3 years ago now so it's one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" projects for me.

Agreed, it would be great for me being 20 mins down the road (I could probably see it from my house accross the bay on a good day/with a telescope) but I just don't see it happening anytime soon/at all.
 
I apologise for bringing this thread back up with a non-update, but has literally anything happened with this ride - land clearing, planning permissions, teasing? I suspect more would happen in the off season when it comes around but surely there would be some groundwork starting up by now if this was going to be a project happening anytime soon?
 
Rage at Southend keeps breaking down lately (August and July this year, and October last year), so who knows, it might possibly have put them off? I'm not saying it's a huge deal, but it's a pain in the neck if you get stuck on one of those vertical lift hills.

On the other hand, Adventure Island might be getting rid of theirs and maybe Pleasureland could pick it up extremely cheap? Probably nothing to do with it, but I just had some thoughts on the matter. If they're getting that type of ride I'd definitely rather have a launch or a 45-degree lift.

This project that feels dead is more intriguing as the owner is now saying not just a Gerstlauer but also a GG woodie will be coming 😐

Chatting sh*t that guy, happily put money on another 'concept' coming in a few years followed by f*CK all
 
I do feel like Southport seems to have a high frequency of lavish projects announced that never come to fruition, so I take anything that is announced from them with a pinch of salt.

Weren’t they buying Knightmare at some point?

They couldn't afford Treguard's wages.
