    looks like they’ve had to pull the original application and start the process again. At least its a positive and it hasn’t just been shelved

    UPDATE FROM FlyUp

    Looks like it’s on the way 😀

    We’re unbelievably happy to announce that after two years of blood, sweat, and sometimes even tears, the FlyUp 417 Project has finally been given full planning permission – and is all systems go!

    Despite being told by the experts that the red tape would be a quick and easy process, it’s dragged on and on, and has been a monumental challenge. Thankfully it’s now fully signed, sealed and delivered with only a few tweaks to the original plans.

    FFS just open it! PLEASE!!!! Before winter comes in.
    It’s on my doorstep, well a 10 minute drive. I’ll buy a year pass when it opens if they do such a thing.

    About bloody time.

    wonders how much it is to enter and use the tracks without uplift, anyone care to enlighten?

    Not sure anyone knows pricing yet though there are some of us that did the crowd funding that paid for uplifts @ £35/day iirc (don’t take my word for that as memory s**t)

    Seems pricey to even crowd fund tbh.

    I may sneek in over night and do some cheeky riding 😛

    ^ FOD uplift is

    Weekend/Bank Holiday £30 per rider

    and run by the same people so ~£35 seems about right.

    not quite the news we thought it would be…

    Time to officially introduce you all to our General Manager of the Flyup 417 Project. We are super excited to have Cara Murray join us and we want to welcome her to the Flyup family. We wish her luck in her new position. ?#?417project? ?#?goodtimesahead?

    Opening March 2016 🙁

    Flyup 417 Project update
    So…… We are super excited to announce that we can finally give you the news you have all been waiting for.…The 417 Project will officially be opening its gates for business on 14th March 2016.

    We were desperately hoping to open this year – but sadly due to numerous factors this will just not be possible. We know everyone (including us) is eager for the 417 Project to open but thanks to the worst August on record; the rain has hindered the track building massively. We had days where Architrail, even with their best efforts, just couldn’t get the diggers on the hillside. Good old British summer! We want things to be at their best for you all when you come to ride and with the estimated completion date for the tracks now being smack bang in winter; opening in the Spring will give the tracks time to settle ready for you all to enjoy properly!

    On top of this we have a few exciting things in the pipeline which will add so much to our facility but have equally added to the timescales – we can’t say much at this stage…. but trust us it will be worth the final wait!!

    To end the speculation, frustration and rumours we can now at least finally give you an official opening date and rest assured the booking calendar is going live towards the end of the year.

    All customers that pre-purchased their passes and pre-view passes through the Indigogo campaign will be contacted separately to make your booking.

    And finally, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for details of our Launch Party!! We will have a limited amount of tickets up for grabs, and you won’t want to miss out – info to follow very soon. Updates will still continue on social media and newsletters.

    We want to thank everyone for their continued support and patience, we guarantee that it will all have been worth the wait in the end…. Here’s to the final straight – the end, and beginning is well and truly in sight!!

    just got the email, its worded a little confusingly

    We are super excited to finally announce our opening date of 14th March 2016!!

    As promised as part of your perk you will have priority booking. You have pre-purchased 1 day pass including uplift

    We will be open everyday except Tuesdays, Christmas and Boxing Day. The general public will not be able to book until the booking calendar goes live at the end of 2015.

    who is booking for xmas 2016!? 😆

    All looks good best to let the tracks settle down over winter can be a hard winter up there at times.They look good from the viewpoint.

    Ah! Ok, found those but it would be for me and my lad (who’s 15) and I am not rad enough to ride at a ‘launch party’ 😀

    The e ticket is for the early crowd funding bit. AFAIK the site isn’t taking general bookings yet
