 Nope, it's going to be plonked or dumped on that site for the season and then moved again..  but plans might change before the year is out.

That's what the staff get hired to do coolskin, you'll be putting them out of a job.
I'm sure the whole thing will get a new make over next year if they stick to the current plans.

I have a feeling Fireball will be properly themed when it's moved into it's permanent placing next year. I wouldn't be surprised if work is done on sprucing up Enigma next winter, with a new ride probably making it's way onto the hungry bears site after Fireballs final relocation!

 But it puts people out of work, it also devalues those who have to charge.
Why not just apply for a job? Send them your CV, or drop into the office, get yourself on their records.
Mine were, but since it's changed hands they might have deleted me lol

You said you wanted to help, I'm just politely suggesting one way of getting involved.

Sad to see the blue panels still up. I do hate the look of the ride, all those 'lights' really make it look like a fair ground attraction.
Really hope they give it a proper make over for next year. (doubt it)

I don't have a issue with the lights - I just wished for the one week of the year they are on that they actually turned them all on !!

Love that shot from a distance, it really has made the world of a difference sticking that there, and them flag poles too. The whole area looks nice and vibrant now, I just pray that they keep it that way.

Don't they plan on moving it again next season? It looks pretty good there though and does give the area a bit more life. I like it. Would be good to see it done properly with the fairground elements removed.

I reckon it will stay were it is, 'plonked' and unloved.
It fills that plot nicely and would good awesome giving a proper make over, just need something next to it now.

Currently SBNO.. hope this is fixed soon yet with main season almost an end I guess we are waiting for a part to come in. I did notice a comment on facebook though that someone said they had asked the operator why it was not swinging so high and they were informed it got broken when the ride was moved !!!

Yet as we know my ride at start of July it DID swing at full height and man did it pull some... this ride has been so random for many seasons now, I know we have talked this until the cows have come home but it just isn't consistent

I could never understand why the back flash was painted blue?? Should have kept it how it was all removed it.
