Looks very much like the colour scheme used for Eurovision this year.This is an interesting find. When Spinball was being built, it was tested using Maurer's own purpose built testing vehicle. It looks very stripped out with no headrests, no seat padding, no lap bars and part of the side handles missing.
That looks more like grease, grime and dirt deposits rather than rust. But whatever it is, it doesn't look good.
That won’t polish out I am afraid, it’s defiantly rot/corrosion.That looks more like grease, grime and dirt deposits rather than rust. But whatever it is, it doesn't look good.
I don’t get why they didn’t bother cleaning/painting any of it whilst the ride was shut for months at the start of the season whilst they changed the PLC. There was ages whilst it was just sat there not testing or anything. Even just a clean and jet wash would look nicer.
Definitely not corrosion. .That won’t polish out I am afraid, it’s defiantly rot/corrosion.
Needs to be sorted out or scrapped. Even if it wasn’t rot there is no excuse for a ride system to look like this.
Not the first time Merlin wasted money on something from VR on Galactica, DBGT (recent form too in Ghost Train), Dungeons, and perhaps TWODW if that is due to go within the next few years.Yes that’s true, but having just watched the latest digital dan video , he has made a very good point about removing spinball.
If they just bought a new ride system at the start of the season, why would they then replace in very soon. It would be a waste of money as if they wanted to get rid of it soon, they wouldn’t have replaced the ride system.
May have been necessary to keep it operating correctly and safely. We don’t know how much the system cost or what it was exactly anyway. It may have been a small outlay which was worth it for a couple of years.Yes that’s true, but having just watched the latest digital dan video , he has made a very good point about removing spinball.

As stated twice above its grease, if it was corrosion why is it only on one side of every cross member (due to the cars direction of travel) and bang in the centre of them all aswell?
It'll be off the chain dogs, looks like they could do with using a higher viscosity grease on the lift chain though.
