It's obviously so you can get maximum credits on the Monorail shuttling to and from your car every time you need to fetch something to the hotel ! :lol

John Wardley has retired. :no:

The scaffolding is still there...

Just put a decent sized 13 theme tower there AT, give Rita something to launch through!

Wouldn't surprise me if they have kept the scaffolding just as scenery. I mean look at the crypt and station.
I know it sounds daft but I wouldn't put it past them.

True...

Merlin should stop cutting corners with Rita's theming, they could do so much with it!

Might need to check some records about that, but that is possible...

The point is, it looks terrible!

If only AT would buy a flat for DF then remove the scaffolding...

The scaffolding is a result of H&S.

They are worried about the cable snapping again so have made Towers keep the structure in place. I agree that it makes Dark Forest look worse than normal but there's not a great deal AT can do until the H&S restrictions are lifted.

Build a more permanent cover there which looks like it fits in better - such as overgrown tree roots

That is not good... The terrible H&S insisting the scaffolding is necessary...

Why can't they build a permanent cover?

I can only imagine that they think it brings some consistency to the area given that Thirteen's station is predominantly scaffolding.

I would not say predominantly, the station is mostly consumed by the forest.

I wonder who the hell thought that scaffolding makes good theming just looks "clumsy" ](*,)
