I will be aiming for first train of guests on the 19th, after I've been on it I will post here if anything has been removed.
And will the single riders queue be open for old duffers like me?
One would assume so. Although Towers do seem to be phasing out single rider queues generally (Nemesis, Rita and now Air's have all gone) the one for The Smiler worked well.
What happened with Rita was the FT queue was taking taking so long they swapped the SRQ for FT.
Given the amount of work going on across the park at the very least I would expect The Smiler to have received a jet wash this closed season.
Still better than fanta sponsorship.If it doesn't say "Half Way Corrected" in the posh voice, I will not be happy.
I was less than pleased when "Don't Look Down" got axed.
Ta daaaaaaa:

It's not the best quality photo but it looks like much of the concrete has been jet washed.
Looks like they still need to put all of the signs back up. Also I noticed last season that one of the circular symbols on the Hypnotiser leg of the Marmaliser had gone missed (I assume it fell off at some point). Notice that it is still missing in that photo, hopefully it also makes a return.
