Remember them photo's were taken last weekend (12th), and to be honest, I would rather they didn't rush it just to get it open. I'd rather they took their time to make it look as good as possible.

Could be.... I do like that fence. Nice to see them use a different design. I hope they give it a well landscaped queueline like Sky Hooks.

The refurbs for Sky Hooks and Thunderstruck have actually improved the park more than most of the new attractions.

Looks really good IMO, I like the little grass mound they've made round the back of it.

I hope they make similar efforts with the queue line.

Cost cutting? Save it for the summer season and a relaunched park and ad campaign?

That 4th photo shows how big a ride Wipeout is. TTT looks really tiny next to it!

On the whole I like what they have done with Thunderstruck, but that Enterprise at the other park has a wonderful setting and some theming too. More 'class'.

That Shed looks wrong IMO, and as for the Safety sign, well, I hope they are all uniformed up next year as this years bunch are ugly.

Completelt agree about the ride signs, they are awful, as are garden sheds!

And you have to remember with that Enterprise at Hellendoorm (or whatever its bloody called), thats all they got for this year. I would imagine a lot of our budget went on the magic show.

Yes ride signs look, to put it bluntly, ****. Laurence please reassure us that these will change next season with the park rebrand. They don't add anything and look like fairground signs.

Looks good! I so hope what that UKPN said is true, and that it had been running on lower speed before the refurb!
