If that were the case, you’d see a lot more activity and noise. The rides team would be utilising the whole building for training purposes, where as the technical services team would only be based back of house where the ride building is.
I’d take that with a pinch of salt.

If you’re not paying attention, you wouldn’t necessarily notice. The doors will still be closed regardless and you’re not forced to hear anything at all unless you’re in Her Ladyships Gardens, which most people aren’t
Starting to get a bit squeaky-bum about Hex now. There’s only 6 weeks left of the main season, and I assume they would want to give 1-2 weeks notice of it reopening to allow people to book tickets.
I’m starting to wonder if they see any point in opening Hex at all just for the sake of 4 or 5 weeks, and that’s if they announce its reopening in the next couple of days.

Nah I doubt they see that as important. Far easier (and arguably more sensible at this point) to open without any kinda big announcement

to be fair what are they going to say that their ride is now opening again, not too much of a good look

Will this open utilising Congo rapids staff ?
Hmm, but not only did Hex get a mention in the 2024 season promo video, the park also released the update video a couple of months or so ago, so I doubt it would just open without some sort of fanfare. They’ve clearly spent a lot of money on the ride so will want to market it, but I fear it’ll very quickly be too late in the season to do that for 2024.

Different area, so unlikely.

The specific staff members maybe not, but the budget to run the ride, could well be.
The demand for an indoor ride in Oct/Nov is likely greater than the Rapids so in a season where every penny is being counted it would make sense to save the cash on running the Rapids if Hex can replace the lost capacity.
Obviously both rides being open should be the standard.

Doubtful, the park is split into different areas for the rides teams. I imagine the teams that have previously worked on Hex will most likely continue to work on there. Not saying they can’t add some newer hosts from different areas, but in all likelihood, newer hosts would come from the same area it’s based in.

Smiler/CBeebies Land is my favourite ride team.

I wonder if they might actually do an "under the bonnet" sort of opening just to make sure the thing doesn't break down again after a few days. If they had a big relaunch with a lot of fanfare and then it went kaput again that would be extremely embarrassing.

Bwahahahahaa!!!!!! good one.
I don't know why they can't just be honest at this point. They've cried wolf for so long it's just embarrassing.
