I'm pretty certain its a printed flat. They were probably too scared to go with 3D brick panels after the shambles that was the doomsday store. Its a shame.... I know of a guy who has some panels he isn't using...

Less about bad taste, more about insurance. Vikings Revenge was constructed in house, just like TRR. I imagine insurance would have gone sky-high.

I've shared this pic here before, but it's one of my favourites. Worthy of sharing in this thread. Taken in 2005 just as you exit the ride room of Giant Drop. Loooong time since it went that high. Additionally, This photo from @RobC needs sharing again:

As it stands they can't move a buggy carrying tensa barriers two metres down Main Street without half a dozen attendants passive aggressively shooing anyone in a 50 metre radius. Good luck with a permanent ride. By any observable metric, Doomsday and surrounds was wasted capital. It was a very well executed concept that was... doomed... from the start because it was all wrong. It was meant to draw guests away from the front of the park but the attraction they chose was simply not strong enough to be able to do that. Then throw in the interactive elements that are aimed at a totally different audience from the ride. What we have is a ~$10 million spend on something that looks nice but doesn't achieve what they wanted it to. You only need to look at how quiet this area is even at peak times to see that this is the case.
