They're getting that Black Hole base slab up pretty quick aren't they. It looks such a tiny site at the moment, for such a large ride.

To be fair, why would they need to relocate some perfectly fine toilets? It would probably cost more to move them with the plumbing issues than to just build that structure over them and leave them as they are
Have you ever been in them? They aren't 'perfectly fine'! They remind me of toilets in an outdated rundown shopping centre! I could understand them wanting to keep them if they were modern and had spent a lot refurbishing them. But with the state they are in you would think they would just rip them down and start build new ones somewhere else!

It will certainly be a contrast to the relatively calm surroundings they are in at the moment - only the echoes of screams from Oblivion permeate through the trees/hills to those toilets. When SW7 is in there, the trains will be going right overhead every 30 seconds.
At least those scared of coasters won't have any trouble going about their "business" in there anyway with that kind of proximity!

But that would be an investment with little return, we know Merlin don't like that!

You might think that, though building them elsewhere would require them to clear another area and install piping and a whole new structure, whereas perhaps they intend to refurbish the current ones in the future and that is the reasoning behind them remaining there?
By 'perfectly fine' I certainly did not mean luxury, I just meant they do their job. I want to see them refurbished as much as anyone else though I don't see it happening until 2014 at the earliest.

If you dropped the we know merlin don't like that tag then you would be a perfect fit lol
The current toilets do need a revamp like all the others on site however new taps, hot water and some good hand driers will not cos much for this block
