That's a picture for guest services. I think he's having a laugh.

The TCAAM queue is on the left of the image I think, separate from GS. It's blurry though so a bit hard to tell.

Closely following TPG's live blog over here. I'm absolutely loving the roaming actors! The atmosphere is amazing, I really hope this lives up to expectations!

I like the 'making screams for families' detail!

The crypt at the front of the house is now zombie free, marked as Emily Alton's grave and the lid has been closed up, with a carving of her cat Snowy lying on top of it. The entrance to the area now has an 'Alton Manor' sign between the towers too.

Surprised they haven't done the Towers silhouette as a the ridges of a key motif before now, it seems so obvious!

The amount of Easter eggs is crazy, the queue line has many of them according to TPG so at the very least those waiting in line will have much to keep themselves amused however that one staggers me.

So it's now canon that the Flume Duck's name after all these years is 'Uncle Duck'? Huh, go figure. Anyway, I swear I made a comment on here about having gravestones based of past Towers rides...

Obviously a massive upgrade on the Spooks R Us one, fitting in with the wider area whilst still standing out enough to get passing trade.

Easter Egg: The Ride is starting to ring true then.

Does look great the lengths they have gone to though. It's basically an enthusiast living out his dream so I wouldn't expect anything less.

I think I can already tell that TCAAM is going to replace Nemesis as my favourite ride, if only for the Easter Eggs!

Am I right in thinking it's still yet to open?

Yep... its 1992 all over again!

Yes, much like most of the park by the looks of things.

As of TPG 5 minutes ago, Emily hasn't welcomed anybody in just yet!

In a case of time repeating itself, John Burton is currently running around the track trying to get certain cars moving.

I like how they have reused the crypt roof that covered the zombie before before has now been shifted to the entrance which does actually fit in well and honestly however the ride might be, at the very least we can say that entrance wise it looks better than what HH or Duel ever had, the latter just having some basic sign so this is a major improvement for sure. Plus nice to see all the gravestones given a bit of TLC for sure

Interesting that the queue time board isn't up/working yet.

some of the mascots walking around are hilarious!! One was wearing his clothing and shoes backwards XD. Definitely feels like something the original ride would have.
