Potentially. Does anyone know how many pieces of track are left to go in? I think it might only be 4 or 5 and these ones should be fairly easy to put in compared to the rest of the site.

Definitely should be done by the end of August even with the bank holiday.

Would be interesting to know if they are ahead or behind schedule. We had good weather in June which should have helped but July was absolutely rotten. Hopefully that didn't slow them down too much.

The roof of the visible side of the station has now received the same tan coloured layer as this, whilst that limb is now grey. Coasterytical's video from yesterday shows it from the monorail (so excuse the quality of the screengrab) towards the end of the day.

Everytime I think I have some idea as to the order they're working on things, something happens that flips it on its head entirely. Oh and whoever put together the planning documentation for this has a very different concept of 'minor repairs' to me!

My current theory (since the station may not be going black after all); They're now fully committing to the track tentacle/cage retcon (albeit with the creature spreading across it). So it'll be a distinct colour to the station. I'd imagine they're remodelling the more prominent legs that have been removed, getting rid of the way they 'morphed' into track and will probably return with more of a vein thing like they're done with the old track morphed 'tail'. Definitely think that the new structure will become a big (marketable) eye.
 
One thing we do know us the Merlin design process always leads to a large central teeming structure. My bet is the station will be modified somehow to become this feature and maybe interact with the track.

On another note how much do we think this is costing? I'm guessing at least £12m
 
The predictions I made months ago about all the track being in at the end of summer seem to be correct. This is looking really good!

I just want to see those waterfalls pouring now!
 
So what are people’s assumptions of the new trains? Black chassis with red OTSR’s would seem the most likely given the colour scheme. I wonder if the pods will be given a slight reshape and theming detail.

A lot of the B&M inverts do have designs on the pods so I am sure they could do something with the colours there. Something to go with the tentacles or eyes would be cool.

Also never realised that the now defunct Duelling Dragons/Dragon Challenge trains were actually styled to look like dragons.. Not sure if would completely break the Nemesis lore if the Nemesis trains were themed to look like part of the monster with eyes etc. but it could look interesting.

Two pictures here taken from one of TPWW's recent posts with the old picture being one from a reply. I've cropped the older picture to get it as close to TPWW's one:

Definitely prefer the new colours and artwork and it's interesting to see that on every area of track in the pictures, the track joints are in different places. As somebody said before, ride engineering and stress analysis has come a long way in the last 30 years so I'm assuming the new joint positions are optimum for the least amount of stress on the track and supports. Just hope they remember to touch up that scratch on the support!

i hadn't even noticed the joints being in different places. New track colour scheme is much nicer. Like shawn has said in his videos i really hope they look after it and keep it looking fresh.

As for trains i'm guessing black chasis with red OTSR's like most people. I think that is the safe guess here.

I'm also hoping for an updated soundtrack. Nothing different from the origianal just with more up to date symths etc.
