Although I think Galactica is fine how it is now and I doubt Merlin will touch it for another 10 years, o think it could be quite easy to slightly modify it to fit in with Forbidden Valley.

All they'd have to do is stick a few Phalanx logos on to the building and change the story (or what there is of one) to making it that you board a Phalanx Aircraft to search the valley for other aliens or creatures. All this would need is a few creatures dotted around the ride area and some new videos in the queue line and station building.

But as I said I think pigs will fly down the Tree Top Quest zip lines before that happens.

Knowing Merlin, they'd probably get out their bumper sticker sheet out and stick the remnants of the sub-terra logos and crap onto the trains and signage; and badabing badaboom: 'wE'vE gOt An EnTiReLy NeW aTtRaCtIoN gUyS'

Heads up for people travelling to Towers Saturday or Sunday. Apparently M6 junction 13-14 is being closed from around 5pm Saturday until some time on Sunday. Plan accordingly for any return journey on Saturday or possibly travel to/from on Sunday. Cheers to Chris Willder on FB for the heads up :)

Edit - Reason for shutdown is a motorway bridge demolition.

Not a bad job to be fair. From a distance I thought it looked like checker plate aluminium flooring, but I can see closer up that it isn't and that it's suits the X Sector theme nicely. Although those huge painted orange pipes are giving me Fanta flashblacks ;)

It's oblivion orange!

It looks OK, but as you can already get Donuts on Towers St, in Mutiny Bay and in Forbidden Valley it’s a shame there isn’t more variety in food offerings.

But hey, an open outlet is much better than a hastily boarded up and closed one.
 
Love this! I’ve got to say, for all the crap additions we’re getting this season (Dungeons and Stargazing Pods) they’ve actually gone and made a lot of improvements throughout the rest of the park, which is really fantastic to see. Does make me feel a lot more positive about the upcoming season, because it’s the little things like this that really go far to improve the overall guest experience. :)
 
I hope they sell drinks (of at least do refills of quenchers) too. Otherwise you have to walk up the bloody steep hill to the top of x-sector.

Perhaps it's only me that lazy, but damn that hill always gets me.
 
I'm quite impressed with the changes being made this season. The Dungeon and Stargazing Pods aside, there's been some definite improvements, especially the return of SRQs. :)
 
This is fantastic!

This is a pretty cool themed building slap in the middle of X Sector and it's been closed off for ages. Cola logos finally removed and peeling cladding replaced too.

It's a shame the public still can't walk inside, which was the whole original intention, but still. That roof design is SO much better than any stinkin' logo they ever had on top there.

No idea why the pipes are orange right next to the original black pipes, but whatever, it fits. It looks MUCH better, big hug from me!!
