Now if it was only gonna be used for Halloween and Christmas they wouldn’t have spent the money on a booth and I think they knew they wanted this from last year and the reason they installed speakers around the lake.

It's a cheap wooden shed, I wouldn't read too much into it.
 
OMG I did the spooky Twilight zoo trail tonight. We got the train from Thomas land to the zoo and they opened up the walk way where the old owl enclosures all to be. They had props and I looked under a couple of the masks and they were a few of the old animatronics from the pirate adventure ride. The women who had water poured over her was also there.
Anyway we continued to walk round the zoo and this was the best part they reopened the former Dinosaurland indoor section and most of it was still in there.

Drayton have now the best Show in the UK it was phenomenal really enjoyed it. Plus its permanent infrastructure more of that quality stuff please.

Drayton might not be perfect particularly in Ride Ops and Availability but they nail the atmosphere of the park around the lake it is an addicting atmosphere.

Saying that I timed a dispatch yesterday on Wave of 2 mins which is an improvement on before but still could do better they need a 2nd train on Wave
 
Any particular reason nobody has pointed out the blatant use of AI images for the water show?
Because I do not know for certain if it is AI generated content, or whether it's just simply poor stock images or videos.

I witnessed guests complaining about the "AI slop" artwork at the exit of Galactica's station the other week... Artwork which has been in existence before the OpenAI was even founded.
There’s not a lot to discuss per se, other than it’s lazy and shouldn’t be used 😂
More than happy to have this discussion, but there are other places on the forum for it.
 
There was a lot of people around me last night noticing the use of AI last night whilst they were shown. To me it just looked like 5 second AI Generated clips stitched together, the transitions gave it away. Other than that i thought it was quite good actually.
