Random stickers on the Coasters


Just spotted this from Reece on FB:

Hiya, Was wandering wipeout has white stickers on it with like target points on them with numbers and was wandering what are they for? i think enigma, snake in the grass has them aswell :)

PWH response:

They're on the rides for construction purposes. So nothing really interesting!

Again, clearly bluffing, they obviously dont want us to know what they're for. Which is fine, I dont mind, keeps us guessing  confuse

Are these stickers on the trains or on the structure? Seems odd to be honest.

They might be just for construction...

Damn PWH and all it's lying!

Suprised reece has not noticed these earlier , they was placed on the pillars of wipeout and enigma  early in the season last year ,  as pleasurewood has informed reece they are indeed construction stickers, nothing to get excited over :)

How are they for construction purposes though? The rides were constructed years ago...

Reece mentioned about them being targets..sounds to me like something to do with some kind of team building thing they do when conferences are held.

 round circle with vertical line and horizontal line  point a laser light on them and  you can check on any structure movement

We have had one a few years ago and I was awake and I felt it!! :D No jokes, but I think it may be more to do with the soil the rides are built on, if its too soft the foundations with fall and the structure will mishape, or maybe fatigue?

Surely they wouldn't be allowed to build the rides on soft ground?

Anyway, I hope these stickers dont ruin the look of the rides, especially Wipeout.

Ground always moves and subsides over time. Apparently Nemesis has shifted somewhat since it was built.

Could also be from a maintenance aspect. Aren't the coasters usually or at least, are meant to be, dismantled at the end of each operating season, to check the structure for fatigue and wear, like cracks and stuff?

^ Nope, not even travelling coasters need to be dismantled.
