2024: General Discussion

I mean the actual theming isn't in a much better state. It's been pealing apart for years

 

[JamesP]

The peeling off stone is a really bad look

See what happens when you don't wet the wall before rendering.

I wish they loose this “fake scaffold” look it’s not really fooling anyone and looks unfinished, they just need to apply a fake brick facade like the rest of the building. It’s not like they do a pre show for guests to understand the concept of the ride story?

I’ve always liked the tree theming at the front of the station and feel the foliage has grown up it nicely?

Yep that face you can see any part of the tin shed is inexcusable to me, especially when you see it most when entering the showpiece of the ride !

Christ, Thirteen looks horrendous. Hope it doesn't open for the season looking like that.

Crane is up in X-Sector and there’s some work taking place outside Wicker Man

Double post, but CRR has received a full power wash, apparently the company doing it has also been power washing over at Galactica, they say they still have more work to do there

Excellent news, looking loads better just in that short video alone.

Power washing theme park rides would be my dream job

So why are they cleaning Galactica before Smiler. How about they get one of their flagship rides looking a bit cleaner first

World's first flying B&M is a flagship coaster.

It’s not 2002 anymore

I think The Smiler has or is in the process of having a good clean. There’s been scaffolding around the station and I’ve seen pictures on this site of the ride looking much cleaner. But I can’t remember where those pictures are.

the pictures were from the alton towers jobs instagram, showing the marmiliser has been cleaned

Nor is it 2013.

There's another Squadding Quads video at 9.30 tonight which is focusing on X-Sector. Scaffolding is still around the station according to the thumbnail image:


No obvious structural work going on on The Smiler that would warrant that crane, so maybe its there for a basket for workers to clean from (as well as engineers to check all the nuts and bolts)?

 

[AT86]

From that picture alone it looks as though work has taken place. Those pipes on the station look to have been painted.

That’s true but it is still the 2nd newest
