The ride stayed here until the year 2011 when it was moved down the the newly made farmers area of Thomas and friends

it's stayed up there until 2022 when it was removed. Then down in the old section blue Mountain engines was built in its spot but surprisingly the big model didn't move until 2014

Also another fact is that at its home in the zoo the sign saying workshop and building were re painted

If my mind serves me well it used to have a big plastic cow in the area attached to that building, i think just behind a fenced off wall
Yes I remembered that it used to moo aswell I always thought it was sold off or just taken away but I never thought it was fenced off I think it was Betsy the cow from Thomas and friends. Would of made sense to be with terence
 
Yeah, that would had been a good reason to remove it. And to possibly to avoid crashing into it.
Crashes would be the second reason yeah :) Not sure Terence likes crashing into things. Safer for the little ones with less things to crash into (not that they really go too fast, but you never know with kids ^^)
 
Safer for the Op to not have to keep fishing kids off of it. People like me who were rubbish at that sort of theing as a kid spent most of the time having the operator pull us off the central theming after we crashed into it, and the things wouldnt reverse till they removed it.
