counterweights are in

 

[JT01]

The green dose not go with yellow though... its an odd choice aesthetically

 

[Ash]

I was hoping it would be sorted by now, but they really need to plant some conifers or something along that fence…

 

[Josh555]

I still think there's a chance this isn't a Top Spin, maybe they'll put one in the R-Cade building instead?

Have you considered a career in YouTube?

 

[Danscott22]

Heard from a couple of sources (usually reliable) that the theming features will be large tanks with a green bubbling liquid effect inside. Could look quite impressive if done correctly (if this turns out to be accurate)

So it'll look like a first gen Topspin with huge water tanks either side pinning it down?

Sounds like standard lake water then, at least they wont have to clean it. Perfect.

 

[Steve74]

Could be the long tank like structures on the edge of the ride's base as shown in this drone footage. As others mentioned before, it's still not obvious where the op cabin will be?

Op cabin could be placed on top of a neighbouring building....?

I was thinking about that actually, the shop is right next to it after all.

I wonder who is they’ll have to pay to scoop the liquid out of the Smiler queue.

It is why they closed the rapids early this year; they needed the water for the themeing elements for this. The Smiler queue liquid is what they will top the tanks up with, just to keep it extra green.

 

[JamesA]

The green and yellow does not go at all. I'm hoping the theming will bring it together in some way.

Well Blade is still there

 

[Bert2theSpark]

Well Blade is still there

If anything it’s now more difficult to remove it as they won’t have direct access to the car parks without going around Toxicator…

 

[James]

There doesn't appear to be anything going on around Galactica, either.

I could see this being done with a combination of effects the red pipes arround the land use (where they have a acrylic tube and some decals inside) and the nemesis eye, with some curved led screens presenting a bubling vat at the bottom, and some smoke effects comming out of the top, with some green lighting, if done like that and right I think it could look really good, glowing green liquid in a tank.

Sorry to burst your bubble, as it were, but I suspect it'll be more like one of these.

If Galactica is having work I would expect them to finish most of project ocean before starting any work on galactica (If the work required access to the portal, prevents them from having to coordinate deliveries, machine movement etc) especially if ocean isn't going to be taking much longer

for something the size they are planning.
The maitanence, weight (it is on top of a concret structure, meaning if it is heavier the concrete is more expensive), size, cost etc would be much more, I think it would be cheaper to build and run and I would argue more effective to install screens
edit: there is also a support running through it, meaning atleast one section will have to be hollow to allow it through)
and I am not expecting a 360 degree tank, more a black tank with some windows (the screens) which would show the the liquid (I think it would make the effect work better, if done right)
