Don't mind if I do
I don't think many of the younger members will get that. I saw a car with that on the other day "Ford Fiesta & Knuckles".

Am I in the minority by saying I really don't like the look of the new track?

No I think it’s been a fairly mixed response. At the moment I am on the fence, I think I like it but want to see it in the flesh to be sure.

I saw some of it in person on Saturday and I don’t think the photos do it justice, you can see more detail in the veins when you’re stood in front of it. I’m leaning towards liking it more than not liking it but can’t be sure until the whole job is done and it’s all pulled together.

Yeah I'm just going from photos so I'll get get a better judgement from visiting in a couple of weeks.
I just feel nothing can replace that iconic 'nemesis' colour

Granted it's only a small percentage of the season in terms of length, but imagine how amazing the new paint job will look during Scarefest/Fireworks! if the lights highlight the phallic esq veins while hiding the black track. I think it'll give Wickerman a run for its money for the parks most atmospheric night rides.

I prefer the new track and feel it’s looks striking and Incredible unique! Can’t wait to see a new station monster and logo to match embrace the change and for those who love nostalgia it’s the same rollercoaster layout…everyone wins!
However I’m begging them to bring back the blood red waterfalls, it truly would look incredible with the new “red veins” track and new believed “red & black monster” If anything that would be a big change as the waterfalls haven’t been on in such a very long time, many would have forgotten.
Its nice to see on currently videos that they still have the smoke effect working on the “military themed gun” I can only imagine that will be updated with the new colours!

Was eating at the Rollercoaster restaurant tonight and when we came out we saw them getting ready for some more work!
Someone needs to tell them they are about to retrack the wrong coaster.

You can see all the drive motors and electronics from between the station and lift are gone in that photo. I would imagine when they return it will be a brand new set, along with brand new electronics.
I wonder if the lift hill motor will be getting sent off for a refurbishment. If it has not gone already.

Please excuse the poor quality photo, but there were lots of smaller motors being craned out and stacked neatly on a lorry this morning. I'm no expert, but looked like feeder motors to me, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, they seemed to be handling them very carefully so I assume they're off for a refurb.

I wonder if retrofitting magnetic brakes is beyond the realms of possibility, seems a little odd to continue on with a relatively outdated and more maintenance intensive form of braking for another 30 years if they have an opportunity to change it.
