One piece of theming I'd like to see return for this season would be the head choppers on the RMT as they where taken of last season :D

Liam.W said earlier on in the thread that he played 'Spot the difference'. I've just done the same, and I'm not sure if it has been mentioned elsewhere, but if you look towards the exit, you can see a change coming from the tentacle track (near scaffolding tower).

The rock has been removed where the scaffolding is to the right of the picture but apart from that I couldn't notice anything different.

Ah yeah. It is the rock which has been removed, I couldn't tell if it was part of the station. I couldn't spot anything else though.

The fountain in Fountain Square has had a re-paint. It's really nice to see that even things like this are being thought about, even though they're not necessarily the first thing people think about.

Looking good. I think even from these known improvements alone, the park has raised standards and it is only year one!

And therein lies the rub :) it's amazing what even a lick of paint can do to rejuvenate and refresh an area you've seen numerous times. I cannot wait to get back on park :D

The parks looking brilliant I hope they start doing x-sector and oblivion's queue line since it still looks like it was last looked at when the ride got a re-paint recently. Only small things like adding new monitors and better sound systems so that you can hear what the monitors are playing out like in the station.

Just a thought

I'd like them to do something with The Gardens. It's almost impossible to visit the conservatories without seeing some broken glass, and Swiss Cottage area looked awful last time I saw it!!

I'm loving the attention on the little things too and it makes such a difference to see them looking refreshed.

One thing I would like to see, which may well be at a later date, is a refurbishment of a lot of the toilets around the park. Some of them look kind of tired and I think they could be greatly improved :)

They should all be slightly themed, like the ones on Towers Street.

That is a poor choice of colour for the box office building.

At the moment, I think that looks a bit of an eye sore. But, if they paint every building a more bright, funky looking colour then it should fit in really well... Hopefully!

I like it. If every building has a bright colour it will have a much more cheery and happy feel and atmosphere
