I mean if I were towers maintenance team and you knew you could wind up a whole group of people by leaving a can of oil near a door then I'd do it.

And I would've put a big sticker on it and labelled it "SW9 Do Not Remove"

They spent the whole of Sub terra’s budget on that can of WD40.

God almighty, with all the NST rumours and how everyone in this thread has gone mad over a damn WD40 bottle, Towers better say something about it soon for I'm losing the will to live over the will it, will it not rumours.
The Towers speak now? I knew the place was magical but didn't realise they spoke lol

Well they are haunted and the surrounding lands have had strange creatures and spirits dug up from the depths such as Nemesis and Thirteen so honestly, the Towers speaking would not be far fetched!
Guess the magic of Alton Towers still does exists, we all just looked in the wrong place...many places actually, well off the mark...hmm.

One more bullet in the gun, but on a recent visit, they had installed a new E-Stop on one of the containers that looked like it might have been an exit (I never saw it operate, so I don't know all the guest flow) a new CCTV camera, and the Piece de la resistance new fencing in the queue line of the same style as used on P42, with new phalanx posters on the aforementioned fences. Let the debate begin....

I think it's more likely to be for Scarefest, although I would prefer a permanent, year-round attraction that can cover for Nemesis when she's closed next season. Unless the new maze was put there and opened next season too. Wouldn't want it being an upcharge though of course, because Nemmy isn't.

The e stop is from when it was used as P42, same with those metal fences and also the posters are all from its P42 days

What did the e-stop control?

It would have stopped the maze, all scare mazes have them dotted around, if there’s a problem, actor gets hurt, guest gets injured, etc then the actor or host will stop the maze, music will all cut and the house lights will turn on.
when it was P42 there was scaffolding over that section so the button wouldn’t have been so obvious.

Well as @djtruefitt said it cuts the music, sound effects and turns the house lights on. So it is a proper emergency stop button.
I think P42 had prerecorded emergency announcements too, as I remember seeing a video and hearing one instructing guests to leave the maze.
