Makes a man want to go to China.

Aerial shot update The station and maintenance building appear to be all closed up now. You can see that the white metal walls continue either side of the track as you approach the lift hill. Hopefully these are painted/themed so you don’t just look at white walls as you leave the station

Can only hope so. And hope the inside effects are operational again too

All of the effects on the ride originally both inside and out were based on Steam. Because of regulations around boiler safety and upkeep the steam effects were decommissioned to remove the need to maintain a boiler. Because it was steam the first few shots of the outside effects usually resulting in some less than pleasant water spray before everything had come up to temperature.

Now that I’m back home, I’ve been able to get the drone photos on a large screen and have zoomed in on a number of things I can now see. Probably the most exciting part for me, is it appears that there is quite an extensive area of the queue that will be inside (which hopefully means an extensive amount of theming) Could this part be the stairs that are for emergencies or are they the buildings exit? If it’s the exit it seems like you then enter that opening to the left It seems like this queue shade structure will have a water effect that pours into the centre And here’s a good look at the slab for Trident

And here are a couple shots from in the park
