Oh. My. God. I love the posters in DF, a throw-back to the days of 'Rita: Queen Of Speed' while solidifying the theme!
As for the signs in Katanga Canyon they look so much better!

Going back to the new posters, what I like about them is the fact that that fence now acts as a sort of pre-show to TH13TEEN. As guests enter Dark Forest, they wander what these "unexplained forces" are, and then they get to TH13TEEN to find out! Maybe I'm just talking rubbish now but yeah..
Life is a roller coaster. You can either scream every time you hit a bump or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it.

It does look awesome, I agree it could do with more vines and evidence of the forest growing out of control.
I would love most of all if, upon leaving the tunnel to go to the respective exits, it's all been made look wild...hard to pull off safely but that would nail the theme for me.

I love the work there doing to the dark forest area. Does it look like the kiosks won't be opening this season?

I think that this is a vast improvement to the Dark Forest. As many have mentioned, the posters have actually given Rita a subtle storyline that works effectively. I also think that the fence has actually appeared to bring Th13teen and Rita closer together, as if the forest and attractions have been shut off from the public. I see the entrance area to The Dark Forest as more of a desolate abandoned are now ,that escaped the dark forest but was left abandoned in the years following. The fence also gives the impression that you have to enter the rides themselves to experience the Dark Forest itself which will add suspense and mystery. I still feel the area needs work but it is still considerably better than before and it certainly makes more sense/ holds more atmosphere as of now.

I'm loving all of these improvements. Can someone help without me reading back through 18 pages though are these improvements continuous through the 3 seasons planned or is it just closed season that these improvements will take place?

I hope we see the closed rides open again for summer. With the exception of the ones removed of course. It would be great if they were announced closed for TLC then opened for the busier summer and scarefest season. They can obviously get away with opening a previously announced closed ride. However closing one part way through a season has a negative backlash.

Galactica at least has been given a price tag of £2 million. The restaurant £3 million I believe, the Nemesis track was about £140,000? but the rest I'm unaware of.
