Project Dylan is the project name of a new custom Eurofighter roller coaster due to open in the Canada Creek area of Thorpe Park in 2009. It will be themed around a disused saw mill and may take some elements of the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Feature points of the ride include the dark section at the beginning which will include a steep drop and barrel roll, followed by a vertical lift and the 'beyond vertical' 100 degree drop. The track will also include three inversions including an immelmann turn, dive loop and a barrel roll as well as several airtime hills. The roller coaster will be similar in style to Speed, located at Oakwood Theme Park and Mystery Mine at Dollywood.

Theming

Project Dylan is expected to carry a similar theme to Mystery Mine at Dollywood, but with it being based around the sawmill.

Trailers

The first official trailer was released on the official Thorpe Park YouTube page on July 13, 2008 and it revealed that something would happen on August 13, 2008 which turned out to be the release date for another trailer. This time the trailer took the form of a mini-drama depicting the ride's construction crew discovering a red box on-site, opening it and apparently being extremely startled or even attacked by the contents; this emphasised the ride's 'horror' theme. In addition, the date of the next trailer was given as September 13, 2008. This trailer was a supposed 'statement' from Peter Ronchetti, the park's Divisional Director, in which Mr Ronchetti revealed that the box had in fact been a trap that had activated "a device". In addition, the box was said to contain a key, a picture of an "unknown individual" and a message saying that: "You have to the 13th of October to prepare yourself until I pull back the curtain and reveal the nightmare. Your time is running out." It is unknown what will be revealed on October 13 or indeed what the number 13 has to do with the ride (if anything).
