Has anyone ridden Storm Chaser at Paulton's Park? What kind of footprint does that take up? Seems to pack a lot of ride into a compact area.

I'll be doing some more updates and analysis but generally the footprint is significant than current existing Mack kiddy spinning coasters and keeps growingThanks for sharing this, Tommy. That gives great perspective. The've got a little more to work with than I was thinking.
This might be more of an @Alicia question but are the individual buildings permitted with plans summited for approval or is it a blanket permit for the site with approvals as they go?I'll be doing some more updates and analysis but generally the footprint is significant than current existing Mack kiddy spinning coasters and keeps growing
There’s one permit with a site plan for the land, which gets certain reviews and approvals, but most specific details are in each individual permit for every individual building. If it has its own building number, it has its own permit. Even the portal into the land has its own permit. And most structures’ permits have sub permits for its electrical/utilities/plumbing/etc. So, there’s a lot of permits. And yes, pretty much every main permit for every structure has plans submitted.This might be more of an @Alicia question but are the individual buildings permitted with plans summited for approval or is it a blanket permit for the site with approvals as they go?
eta, I know what time zone you are in
Thanks, I thought it would be mountains for a project this size.

Some of the best info I’ve found for the supposed Monsters coaster came from its electrical sub-permits, as there are two, one clearly for the queue/load structure called “facility” and one listed simply as “ride”.Thanks, I thought it would be mountains for a project this size. Happy digging
Such as that big hole in the ground? I think they went all in on a complex fountain show and learned from USF it's nice if you can put it in on the ground floorSome of the best info I’ve found for the supposed Monsters coaster came from its electrical sub-permits, as there are two, one clearly for the queue/load structure called “facility” and one listed simply as “ride”.
Gas line sub permits are fun too, because most of the time they’re for “kitchen equipment,” but sometimes they’re for “special effects”.
I’m loving all the water features this park is gonna have.More DK track has been installed, as per, me.

Agreed. Hopefully we have some nice waterfall features going from one water feature into the next. Particularly where it starts at the entrance and goes west.I’m loving all the water features this park is gonna have.
Walls arise for the supposed Monsters roller coaster:

The people in this photo give a great sense of the scale for this land. They also make me think that -- as much as there's been talk of the coaster taking over the 'plaza' -- I've never been convinced that the central area of this land was a 'plaza' as such anyway. Looked on the plans much more like a central void (with trees or whatever) and the path snaking around in a sort of loop (more like JP, giving the feeling of going deeper in to the land as you walk further). Looking at the hi-viz person to the left of the launch trench (assuming that's what it is), I'd say that area really can't have been intended as a 'plaza' in any significant sense.
It's never been referred to as a central plaza, I literally showed everyone what was planned so they could draw their own conclusions
