The new path is nice, I hope this means more opening of the gates near Galactica. Even if it's just for hotel and AP holders. It's now open after park close to exit from which is good.
It would also be nice now if they extended the new path to the park entrance.

I bet the boards are kept out back somewhere and will return after the outlets close again. To be fair on Towers here, these outlets just haven't been needed on the quiet days I've been this year and at least they bothered to think about how the closed outlets looked rather than just pulling down the shutters.
It'll be interesting to find out whether this was a planned opening or whether the park has been busier than expected and decided adhoc that it was worthwhile. There could be hope for hex and NST yet!!

I suspect it was planned. After all, Oblivion was running two stations (5 trains) - the first time this season - so they would have been expecting a busy day.It'll be interesting to find out whether this was a planned opening or whether park the park has been busier than expected and decided advoc that it was worthwhile.
