Paultons Park Tornado Springs Construction Update - February 2020

In this exciting series we'll be following the construction of Tornado Springs, a new area that's opening at Paultons Park in March 2021. Originally this new themed area was planned to open in May 2020, however this was delayed due to Covid-19. Tornado Springs will feature a variety of new rides and experiences all set within a heavily themed area based on 1950's America.
In this episode I take a look at the heavy amount of theming that's gone into place throughout Tornado Springs along with sharing updates from all of the different rides. This includes exclusive testing footage of The Cyclonator, the parks Zamperla Discovery Gyro Swing! Along with that I check out the interior of some of the buildings and much more in this action packed on site construction update from Paultons Park!
Here at Theme Park Worldwide we look forward to working with Paultons Park throughout the entire construction phase and bringing various on site updates all the way through until the opening of Tornado Springs in March 2021.

They have really have been working so hard and you can tell how much thought and ideas have gone into this new area, 2020 is going to be Paultons year it seems..

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They have indeed, a huge project for them!

[@coasterking4661]

This is looking amazing. Cant wait to get on this. I love mack, they are going in a really good direction.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They are indeed!

[@staceyg3110]

I've lived in Southampton my whole life and Paultons has always been a place I've visited since I was a young child in the late 80s up until before the park closed in December for its winter shut down. It has always changed and evolved but this year is definitely a big step forwards for the thrill seekers. We have been pass holders for the past 18 months and I have to say we never grow bored. My 2 year old thoroughly enjoys his visits and keeps asking to go to go back. In the summer myself and my husband sometimes popped down after work if my son was at nursery to do more of thrill rides. Hopefully we can do the same when Tornado Springs opens. I am due to give birth around the time it all opens so I will probably have to wait until summer is over to take full advantage of the new rides. However, I'm really looking forward to the park reopening in a few weeks and getting to have the opportunity to test the new rides in the near future.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing your memories from the park!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Looking amazing, can’t wait to see it all on opening day

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's all coming along very well now!

[@marcussheen]

Paultons are really punching above their weight lately. I love the amount of effort they put into everything they do. All the little touches show that they really care about the guest experience as much as the bottom line.

[@MH_ZeR0]

Love those blades on the inside of the Cyclonator, makes it look seriously menacing! Paultons are really putting all the Merlin parks to shame with this new area!!

[@solskjaer1195]

They do a fantastic job with the budget they have no doubt. Merlin don't put as much thought into their attractions usually however Wickerman was an exception. Everything about that ride is great.

[@SarahTherese95]

Never been to Paultons Park before but definitely will be visiting after watching this! 👌

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I'd definitely recommend a visit in 2020, the amount of work they are putting into this area is incredible!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Coaster looks amazing and the area . Can't wait this to open it hope slothy vlogs takes note to try this new area out and the Coaster

[@Demon-POT]

Doctor who!! Well the worst one but still it's the Doctor!! That deserves a subscribe in its self!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's going to be fantastic when it's complete!

[@JakeCoasters]

This looks phenomenal...Wish I could go

[@chrisbaete5842]

What a great update and the quality of the works is excellent. I love seeing all the infrastructure going in. The cyclonator looks awesome and great to see plenty of thought on covered eating areas.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It sure is very exciting!

[@stuartmchale4482]

Do you think paultons will go the way Toverland seems to be.... slowly increasing the intensity of their ride offerings as they expand to get the older crowds? I hope so and with the quality of what they are doing I cant wait to see what the have in store for the future.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I imagine they will do, we can see this already with the gyro swing!

[@fenyard2776]

Great update as always ! Also one question: the music that we hear durinh the video is the soundtrack of Tornado Springs or is it some copyright free music ?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The music in the video is a short clip of the area music produced by IMAscore!

[@lolex2385]

Gotta love how Sean always looks at comments 🎢😜

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Always!

[@attractionshubno1]

Another great construction update for Tornado Springs at Paultons Park Shawn 👍🏻

[@iamcatfood2923]

I can’t wait for may im going to try and go on the opening day and I’m really excited to get on storm chaser and have a look at the rest of the area.

[@edwardjoynes7961]

Second Can't wait for this new addition, Perfect for Southern England!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It is indeed a fantastic investment by the park!

[@GamingNinja1998]

that giant spinning swing look better than any of thorpe parks attractions from the last 8-9 years lmao

[@terrestrial9622]

the gyro swing

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It does indeed!

[@lauramitchell5462]

This is a terrific update and it has really made me happy. I will be loving Tornado Springs and cannot wait to see future updates. I love theming!!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, they are doing a great job!

[@Travelmatt23]

The new area looks amazing. Can’t wait until this opens. Paulton’s are on top form currently.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They are doing an amazing job!

[@Duckito1]

Can't wait for the trains for storm chaser

[@bostin2197]

Shaun: the station looks absolutely awesome **zooms in on toilet**

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I love the smaller details, the toilet looks great!

[@ellismiles9109]

I've never been to paultons, but seeing this I might go down there!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's definitely worth the trip in 2020!

[@AttractionStories]

Amazing update! Really can’t wait to visit the brand new area in 2020!

[@keiraneven9034]

Can’t wait to see this place finished❤️💕

[@simonpadley254]

Exciting stuff. especially for my nephew.

[@richarddavis4954]

Really looking like a great experience, thank you for the update, lots of hard work done since the last updaye

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

There has been indeed, thanks for watching!

[@traceybeerling4776]

Looks like it's going to be great well themed. Wish Merlin would sort out more great themed rides in there parks. Legoland seems to get all the attention. They need to get new coasters at Thorpe Park, Chessington and Alton Towers. Thanks for the update shawn. X

[@amyhaywood3359]

Due to go to paultons in June so can’t wait for this !!!

[@stuartmchale4482]

Loving the #rockwork, it all seems to be coming together now, will definitely give paultons a try this season 👌

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I'd definitely recommend it!

[@eliasmertens9313]

Paulton’s Park has been making some huge investments! I’m from the United States and this looks marvelously impressive even for one of our parks! Their themeing is better than the themeing at our huge Cedar Fair and Six Flags parks!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It sure is exciting!

[@SlouchyBike]

Love your videos. When I'm older I want to make a RMC

[@chrisstanley9477]

Looks like thorpe Park have got some competition 😉

[@nessiebarton6519]

Wish I could pick up paultons a put it in the midlands, ai think this will soon be the best themed park in the UK.

[@leonhutchinson8264]

Paultons park the uk leading theme park for investments and theming it really is the park to watch.

[@ThemeParkEnthusiast]

This looks really good especially the coasters station

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It does look epic now!

[@twistedcheese1]

They've added their first thrill ride. So hopefully this place will follow in the footsteps of toverland and eventually get larger rides

[@UKThemeParks]

This is already a cut above and its months away from being complete!

[@meyervision]

Looks like its going to be so much fun!

[@aaronnash5772]

I can only imagine how big the ques are gonna be 😬😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The coaster will run two trains and the area has many rides to help with capacity!

[@owenstreet7]

Cyclonator is the start of the park going in the direction that Toverland and Plopsaland have taken before by adding thrill attractions while retaining a family focus in my opinion. In a way, it's like growing with the audience. I highly doubt they would have installed that particular model (Zamperla Discovery 30) if they weren't taking the first steps towards a broader audience. I can see their first thrill coasters coming to the park in the next few years along with further thrill rides, new water rides i.e. Modern Flume, Rapids and a dark ride or two. Of course there'd still be family attractions though. Paultons certainly have the potential to be one of the UK's or even Europe's best theme parks if they manage to capture a broad audience and cater for all ages especially with the way they're going at the moment.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for watching! It does seem like this is the first step in the park adding some larger rides for an older audience, very exciting indeed!

[@owenstreet7]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Definitely exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes over the next few years! :D

[@chrisstanley9477]

I'm really glad they rejected merlins offer to buy them out. They feel threatened because this may be the best UK in ten years time!

[@flyingscotsman7914]

Evening Charlotte. If you were wondering where I was since Saturday The 25th January until today, my old IPad was in the repair shop for a week but when I brought it back to my houses it went worst so I have got a new IPad. Anyway, as talking of my new IPad, I’m back. In America at around 05:52, they call it a couch. It seemed to be a beehive from 09:42-09:45. Make sure you and Shawn look after yourselves.😊

[@AlexBatistaCamargo]

Guys OMG 😯 this amenzing o god!

[@GarryWilliams555]

I love my local park. In my opinion, one of the more beautiful parks in the UK. I am genuinely shocked by how big Cyclonator looks. It doesn't look like a family model at all.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's a huge ride, certainly the most thrilling ride at the park

[@GarryWilliams555]

can't wait to ride it

[@themeparkenthusiast169]

This is all looking fantastic! Cant wait to get in the area in May! Where is the transfer track/maintenance area for Storm Chaser as it will presumably run 2 trains?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The transfer track is in the station! It'll lift up vertically to add a second train!

[@adybailey69]

Sean, have you rode Stratosphere at Rainbows End in New Zealand? I did a couple of years ago and vowed 'never again'. Cyclonator looks very similar but does it go all the way over? Thanks for the updates. Love PP and always look forward to your latest one.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It doesn't go all the way over! Thanks for watching!

[@clairparsons2468]

I am so excited to visit paultons park this year for the first time when this is complete. The theming looks amazing, so many uk parks should take a leaf out of Paultons parks book.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

They should do indeed, this is big stuff!

[@seany84uk]

It looks a great coaster and great area. I doubt it but a 2 lap special would only make me queue for this if it had a large queue but i bet it will be on 2 trains

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It will go around the track once however on busy days will be able to run two trains!

[@mrsavagefox3178]

Wow that looks amazing keep the updates coming Sean #themeparkworldwide 😀😀

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will be!

[@joeeeee256]

OMG IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thtshulse3776]

Are you going to be at Blackpool pleasure beach on opening weekend?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will be indeed

[@robertgoddard3019]

A few years ago done a job for one of the CEOs ar paultons and he said that by then end of 2030 worh the investment being ploughed in want to be the best park in the uk, starting to go that way by the looks of it. Look forward to seeing it happen!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's very exciting indeed!

[@yunzerfn2105]

12:04 wow 😯

[@Demon-POT]

Is the cyclonator an intamin gyro swing? Looks AMAZING!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It's a Zamperla Discovery 30 model!
