Yeah I agree. If they're not allowed to use test dummies with guests (even in separate rows, which would be the only way) I don't see how Thirteen can run.

Nemesis and Galactica and The Smiler I guess are the easy ones but it can provide issues.

Apparently there was a staff only event today.

I recommend a look at the article as it shows the work that's been taking place, including the measures being put in place for when rides eventually re-open.

I know that there's not much to look forward to this season, but 'Gangsta Granny: The Ride' in dystopian X-Sector font really does it for me.

Now why does that say 'Gangsta Granny: The Ride' and not 'The World of David Walliams'?
More to the point, new sign for July 4th or duct tape over Gangsta Granny?

All looking good, and nice to see the park again!
One thing that does interest me, though, is; why do the signs all say “Gangsta Granny: The Ride” instead of “The World of David Walliams”? As someone who does quite like consistent patterns in that sort of thing, I must admit that it’s mildly dissatisfying, although I suppose there are far bigger fish to fry in life than whether a sign says the wrong thing!

Considering merlin like cheap and even Intu just tape over signage I think we know what will happen.

Most likely because “Gangsta Granny: The Ride“ was the “New For 2020” headline attraction and then I guess the 2021 the signs would have had “The World of David Walliams”

Ah, I suppose that is true, especially as I think the park intends to add to TWODW over time (or at least, that’s what’s been heavily implied).

The white tent is where temperature checks will take place.
40th Birthday bunting.
Updated info screens.
Floor markings for rides have been installed.
Food and beverage units have received floor makings and perspex.
Toilets have also had floor markings installed.
Towers Trading is also having work done, suggesting it will eventually open.
Vending machines are now accepting card payments only.
Signage is still advertising 2020 events.
2020 park map.
Coca-Cola Freestyle selling/refilling stations.
New benches, complete with park branding.

Every year I think they can't make the map anymore cramped and confusing but this year they've managed to excel even more.
According to that there's no entrance into 'The World of David Walliams', Burger Kitchen has disappeared and the Driving School has now been shoehorned into the Earl's secret vault!

The maps have never really been for navigating between areas have they?

I for one don't need a map. I know my way around the park like the back of my hand, and the signage is good anyway.

Same here (Although I still collect some), I mean more for guests who would need help navigating.
I know there's been quite a few times I've been asked for directions (seems lanyard==staff to GP) by people holding up maps!

The fact that you can’t walk through the gardens without passing someone walking In the direction of Dark Forest declaring that this is “definitely the way to Nemesis” suggests it’s not...

Depends what you think the objective is.
To me they seek more just a marketing tool then something useful.
