Geez lots of rides down here atm... Buzzsaw is in annual maintenance, TOTII and River Rapids are both down for unscheduled maintenance. They have vintage cars open to try and substitute. Lucky it's off peak period so hopefully they don't get too many complaints whilst they get them back up and running again ???

Well the TOT2 and River Rapids were down for maintenance from the 13th to the 14th according to maintenance, now the maintenance schedule is stating those rides won't be in operation until tomorrow inclusive, there certainly having trouble with those 2 rides.

Oh cool, you just reminded me that I took pics of them working on it the other day and forgot to upload them. Oh well. Better late than never ?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Have they covered the steps in a print-wood overlay? Look in TPG's photos - and all the planks go from centre outwards. In the Ninja's photo, they're all running sideways...

Anyone confirm?

[Slick]

Totally guessing here, but those steps were incredibly slippery when they were wet. It's a sneaky way to get some grip without ruining the whole look I guess.

[Reanimated35]

Is a vinyl wrap that lets water pool on it now more grippy though? 

[Brad2912]

Is it vinyl wrap or floating floorboards type material. If the later (which it appears to be) these are actually quite grippy and designed to not be slippery 

[Reanimated35]

I would have thought vinyl given the curved edges, but not sure. Are those silver things lights or screws?

Something I've been wondering for quite a while as I haven't been to DW at night recently are  the little silver, metal spots on the stage lights or what are they ?

Because quoting is broken on Android, I hope you can make sense of this. The first post shouldn't be here but I can't fix that. They are stage lights

Edit and now they first post is gone. I think. They look like stage lights anyway. Remind me in a few hours I think I have a night photo somewhere

Correct, they're tiny RGB LED lights. I'm sure I have a photo of them in action somewhere...

CBF scrolling back to find it, but I know that's been posted before

^Oh, I didn't think it had, because it was the first time I'd seen it, and I just went through every page and couldn't see it.

[Reanimated35]

I'm not entirely sure where it was posted, but it's on the forum somewhere. 

[rac2703]

I don't remember seeing this concept art. It looks great though!

[joz]

I think the fact that most people don't know where in the forum it is and many don't recall seeing it, that it's very much at home in this thread.  Looks pretty cool I reckon

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

good news! TOT2 is back open and bad news it's currently broken down

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

about time they changed the sign!
