Yes they used to be red/orange. I haven't heard anything about them changing them back though.Am I right in thinking that they were originally red before being changed to blue?
If they are being changed completely could we see lap bars like on the new-gen Intamin gyroswings (like Loke at Lisberg)?

The seats on the left hand side of the ride has been removed so they could be out for a repaint.

It was mentioned i n the 5 year plan that they intend to repaint it
Potentially but I presume they need removing every year anyway. Just general maintenance is my guess. Then again Drayton does seem to be very leaky these days with info.The seats on the left hand side of the ride has been removed so they could be out for a repaint.

I don't suppose anyone saw a sign near Maelstrom with some RAL numbers in it did they?
No but I can confirm the presence of WD40 so at least we know the joints are getting a refurb

I thought the joints were no longer needed so they were going to use Polyfilla to fill the holes in? As long as weight restrictions allow it that is....the plot thickens.

The news you’ve all been waiting for, Apocalypse parts for sale.
Also, DM have an eBay account where there sell off various old bits and pieces. Why did we not know about this? Shawn & Charlotte could have furnished their new house with these tables and chairs! Bargain at a tenner.

Can almost guarantee that by the time they get to my email everything will have gone lol.Not as much selection as I'd have hoped for. The prices are rather high too. I don't expect them to sell everything. Also worth noting everything is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you want anything then I'd get your emails in ASAP![]()

Just got the catalogue, and no I will not be purchasing anything from it sadly. I was expecting smaller parts, but everything on it is fairly big and pretty expensive. Shawn from TPWW would have a field day lol.

Already contacted them. Hoping to get a logo and the hazard sign. Might try and restore the logo as it looks worn out.

I don’t want the table but I would be interested in the light that was at the end of the Ben 10 coaster track.
