It has been done, just won't be out until next season.

Just missed the Jelly Bean train 3 times yesterday :x.

Had The cow twice, and the audio is caput on this one it seems, not even the background effects. :( . Though it seems it is the same on all of them, though the audio on the splash landings one kicked in around 1/2 way back to Towers Street.

Having seen the strawberry and jelly bean train in person now, I have to say they really do look a bit meh.

Whereas all the other trains (even the celebration) appear to have had some thought put into their design, those two are basically just stock photograophy with an AT logo stuck on top. Not the most inspiring thing I've ever seen.

On the page on the main site the Strawberry Train is after the Jelly Bean Train can that be changed.

Not as bad as I thought, not very original though - I'm sure ive seen a similar picture on google images :P I imagine in accordance to the children who visit AT this is the "finding nemo train"

Was on the Mutiny Bay train on the way to the park this morning and I don't know whether it was the weather or what but it was rattiling like anything!

The new Fish Train looks awesome!

I like the look of that!

It's different and not just a repeated patten that most of the other trains seem to have taken (i.e Jelly Beans, Strawberries)

I think the fish train looks good, it's bright and detailed. You can't see much of it at the moment but if the front is anything to go by it could be one of the best trains. :D
