Nemmy is looking absolutely gorgeous. I really like the use of tonal gradients and contrasts they've used. It deepens her creases and makes her look very sinister and almost ghostly.

I'm really impressed how vast this Towers Loving Care program is reaching, I hold my hand up by saying I initially thought it was a load of BS talk but the daily proof of all around work being carried out has taken me by surprise. The place needed a thorough tidy and it seems they are listening.

I was sceptical at first too, but already they have exceeded my expectations. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do next!

Great progress so far, all of these changes collectively will make a big difference to the park.

Hello, new to the forum! All this work in forbidden valley, CCL and Dark Forest is great but no sign of any TLC in X-Sector? I mean the Oblivion queue is in a state, as well as the entrance signage to it. Actually most of the Oblivion part of X-sector needs updating and restored. Not to mention with The Smiler being the ride most people would hesitate to go on, you'd think they'd repaint the track, add some drainage in the queue, and for god sake make sure the projectors actually work! Opinions?

Really great to see the towers putting so much effort in to revamping the little things, can't wait to check it all out for myself!

This topic should be moved to the General Discussion, should it not?

Maybe they have revamped some of the X-Sector over the last couple of weeks. They may not want to publish those pictures onto social media because of the bad connotations people may still have with The Smiler.

TLC is happening over 3 years, so X-Sector may be getting its TLC next year or the year after. Only time will tell!

Doing a major coaster every closed period maybe? Nemesis this closed period and to be finished next closed period and when Nemesis is finished, move on to Oblivion.
