Well spotted, I hadn't noticed that. Seems like a very odd decision to me if that really will be the policy for this season.

I suppose if they're not busy it makes sense., but on busy days i hope they change it.

I don't think the text has been updated from last season. Considering its the part of the park they have invested in i don't think they will

They tend to respond to people on social media, so I'm sure if you ask they'll let you know.

it all comes down to cost and also maybe flow of guests.... but what a waste big up the return of much needed ride only to have the area closed off for two hours a day... way to go

they could close the kid zone for the first two hours instead, plus i still don't understand why they moved the kids twister which now needs it's own ride operator, if they out it back and have two people look after the kids zone that'll be better, as they can deal with two rides each, gusts would just have to wait a bit longer.

The Kids zone started off quite well but not they just spreading all the rides around they could enhance that those aria, and keep most of those rides in one section.

There are times where the kids area is packed, with a queue for every ride in the area apart from Mini Twister

Interesting to see that they're putting a VIP launch night for Eggspress - haven't seen one of those since Hobs Pit.

I wonder if we'll get an invite? ;)

 All about when we got a takeover of the Laser tag. That was good.

Yes, it looks good. I canr quite tell if the pale green is an undercoat or not? I'd like to hope so as it might look a bit odd having the track and supports the same colour.

Still, the station looks like it's been great.

Unlikely, it would be a Cellulose based product, once primed it would be applied straight on top.
This is how they did it when i painted the Rattlesnake. And the Green appears to have to much of a sheen for u/c.

Anyway, it's starting to take shape.

Yes, I think the train and track are ready and it's just the station building that needs finishing. Looking forwards to seeng it fully completed!

No pictures today, but I took a trip to the park yesterday, eggs-press station is coming along nicely, a lot of people looked to be working on it. I'd say exterior looks complete now, so should be open and ready to go on Saturday!

Well they haven't finished it yet! looking great so far. I just hope the tunnel is painted black inside so it's dark.. no point having a tunnel other wise.

Yes looks very good! Great to hear that it has a soundtrack as well!

Just shame the lift tunnel looks the way it does and they still need to press the restraint release button like 19 times...lol

well i was hoping the tunnel would keep the farm theme instead of just being a round red thing. the station looks ok but they don't give us a proper look in that video clip. Just paint the inside of the tunnel.

i'm not sure how the breaks work on rattlesnake but if it's similar to cannonball it's quite easy to miss the break pads
