Look, puffery aside, the use of fake plants isn't a negative and that wasn't the intention of me including it as an option in my post. There are both a time and a place where it's the right choice for the install. Nobody wants real ivy crawling all over the wooden rollercoaster, potentially degrading the timber, making it harder to inspect, and also potentially false triggering safety sensors causing shutdowns. There's plenty of real plants in use within Atlantis (and they also weren't all mature and grown in on opening day either).

Here's an Update on the Mural Today

The Claw will be open during the night markets on Friday and could be the last chance for night rides before it closes. Free for passholders, $10 for non-passholders.

it was a shit joke that added nothing to this thread.

Good news! The shameful entry wall for DC Rivals is no more (in its current state). Photos from Jaggs Journey

DW already employ a horticulturalist, it wouldn't be hard for DW to do this on site.

You can buy them them cheaper when smaller, store them, look after them, let them grow for a few months and then plant when ready.

You forgot: 4. Have mature plants offsite and plant prior to opening, without the need to grow in.

First time on WWF today in about 12 months. they have re-recorded the sound bites with a new voice over guy. Most are the same words, however “Ay-Caramba!” as you go past the broken railway line just seems so out of place and makes little sense thematically. the original 90s video prior to the backwards drop is up and working again, however out of sync entirely. and the run from the switch point down to Indian reservation is rough as guts as your are just bottomed out wheels on concrete most of the time. Smoke effects all gone (dynamite and Indian fire) and majority of ghost town entirely out of sync (water spout leaks starting before the shots ring out, and stopping when you are still 15m away from them) No screens on the final hill, “get out she’s gonna blow” audio missing and replaced by some bloke sounding like he’s doing a Goofy impersonation disappointing.
