The TLC going on in the resort is outstanding! Way beyond my personal expectations!
One area I would love to see give some TLC is the Pagoda Fountain, for many years now this has not been working and is in major need of some serious TLC even maybe some structural work, as a child I used to love passing over this and seeing the huge 70ft high fountain of water shooting from its roof and cascading down its three tiers.
Please Merlin give this some TLC

Fountain Square has new music, which those who have been following AT for ages should recognise. Towerstreet have it on their FB and Twitter!

I'm not too sure on the new tower street music. From the clips I've heard there doesn't seem to be any memorable melody like what the last two pieces had.

The park is really starting to look tidier! Not sure if they are having problems with the nemesis repaint though :/ - the white basecoat appears to be flaking off in quite large chunks especially around the loop area - i know the paint will wear off where the wheels run but there are large areas flaking off from where the wheels run, i have got a photo if someone can let me know how to upload from an iphone?

Only a small bit of the track has had the rusty effect added i would say 85% is still white

That doesn't sound good... You should be able to upload photos to Imgur directly from an iPhone and then copy the direct image url.

Thanks lewis97! Photos are up : http://imgur.com/a/nm3zG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The main reason i noticed was due to all the white pieces of paint that were floating in the water underneath!

Oh wow that looks absolutely awful.
Hopefully they use this week to get something sorted, as that shouldn't be flaking off so severely, considering it was only painted some weeks ago.

The base of the loop is a mess hahaha! Also the zero g roll inversion you can see it also.

That's a shame I'd hoped it would at least last a little longer.....I do like the white though, it stands out so starkly against the pit where the track supports blend in.

So we're far from complete with that repaint, let's see what 5 days can do.
