If they can open it before October 20, then it's good for ME!

Not holding my breath, though.

Thanks Steve.

Wow. Am I the only one who thinks an air compressor needs to be taken to the expanded metal mesh walls in the first photo. It makes me want to sneeze. Is that really 30 years of dust.

Soooo...can anyone tell if that's freshly welded track? :lookaroun

Did you get my instant message on yahoo last night. Sorry to invade thread.

You would have think they would have done it for this refurb...:lookaroun:lol:

Everytime I look at the picture I think to myself that can't be dust. Surely that can't be dust. I'd of been better off if the TTA had just stayed closed. Now I'm just afraid.

This is the oddest refurb ever. :shrug:

 

[The Conundrum]

I just can't believe the ride has been closed since April and from the pics it looks just as FILTHY as it did when it closed. Look how disgusting the track supports look in the second photo. I would love to see evidence that there was hard working going on in there because this is a joke so far.

I wasn't expecting much in 6 months but come on it looks exactly the same!

 

[jakeman]

They have a month left. I would think that any cleaning would be the last thing to do.

Hey, I found a video with a testing train on youtube.

Like Jakeman said... probably the last thing.

My first thought was that the train looks different. It could just be wishful thinking or the fact that I have to make a judgement in 1.2 seconds. :ROFLOL:

Makes sense, but wouldn't they clean-work-clean up the mess they made?:lol:

Its wishful thinking

Seriously, nothing big is happening with this refurb. A new queue, new ride system controls, and a clean. Nothing else. It isn't a refurb in the scale of HM, Pirates or HoP.

What do you expect visually, though? And what about the exterior, Steve?:wave:

I'm expecting nothing visually, other than the new queue which will hopefully fix the FP issues with the standby. With teh new queue I'd expect some new scenes perhaps. In terms of the ride, I expect the same vehicles, no audio, and no changes to the track.

Like I have been saying since day 1 on this, I'm being told that people should not be getting their hopes up for anything big - it isnt happening. It's going to be one those refurbs that opens back up and there will be very minimal changes. Very similar to the TTA.

A shame, really. They have such the opportunity, here.


Martin did say something about track-SIDE audio, though.:shrug:

 

[djkidkaz]

So are they enclosing the queue so you can't see light from the ride? I know that was talked about for quite some time. I don't mind them not doing much to the ride, I mean, the ride is all in the dark anyways. If they could just get a new gobo so the stars on the walls look not so blurry, I'd be happy.
