I used todo this job on stealth and loved batching very fast paced with even more queues/ access points to manage, but honestly it was terribleI feel sorry for the batchers, they are trying to merge 3 queues. Impossible job to keep everyone happy

Rita: General Discussion

Random question of the day: Was Rita ever painted since it opened? Was checking pictures from where it was Ug-land and it was looking beautiful in that bright red. It shocked me on my first visit last year that it's more of a rusty red. I don't know if they purposely repainted to rusty to fit with the "Dark Forest" Theme or it's natural rust
Probs the second since I could even spot moss on the track! If they keep it with no new paint some longer soon the track will turn green

I'm pretty sure it's just never been cleaned and has gradually got covered in grime and the red paint faded due to UV exposure. A classic example of Towers' use of neglect as theming.
They did paint the top sections dark green shortly after installation but I think that's the last time the track has been painted. The trains had some brown paint thrown on them when Thirteen was put in to make them look dirty/older/taken over by the forest.

It has however been cleaned this closed season and does appear to look much better.

They could have put the junction box behind the wood panelling to hide the cables and make it vandal-proof. Just looks a mess with all the cables showing.

No mechanical protection
No armoured cables
Glanding looks meh…
Assume it’s been fitted by service engineers…

There’s also another screen earlier on in the queue, they were both off on Friday, but I’m assuming it will show info about how to ride, just like the one at Thorpe on Stealth to help throughputs.

It dose seem to be quite far from the actual merge point, like the place where the last tv is looks to be like 10 min queue away from the merge point how many people will take enough notice of the instructions that far back to remember it by the time they are at the merge point
