Today, Thorpe Park have submitted plans to the local council for the construction of the 'shark feature' of the Thorpe Shark Hotel, which will serve as an entrance to the hotel itself.
The Shark will have 'roller coaster track'-shaped ribs. Also, the shark will look like it's been made from scrap metal, which could possibly look like signs from the park itself. This hopefully means that the Shark will look like the original concept art planned, which was first seen on the park's official Facebook page.
The shark has been designed with Scruffy Dog Ltd, who were also the company responsible for My Bloody Valentine's theming last Fright Nights. The structure itself is going to be a big marketing push as well as a fantastic photo opportunity for guests!
The Shark Hotel opens on Friday (4th April) and the shark feature is due to be completed in May.
