Seems odd that they should want to re enforce the CCL theme when half of its attractions are closed

More than half even! Frog Hopper, Gallopers & Driving School open, Ice Age, Charlie, Twirling Toadstools & Wobble World closed!

This area of the parks needs to be refurbished with rides reopening or needs to be rethemed altogether! I'd imagine stickers could easily be ripped off the driving school cars though.

I still haven't got over the time when it's only proper theming feature was removed for the queue line of an attraction that didn't even fit the theme! :lol

Nice to see that they have put the effort in although we all know that the stickers won't last long.

Oh goodness, what on earth we're they smoking when deciding on that sheeps outfit! Whilst I can see the funny side I've got to admit it's slightly uncomfortable considering the age range the attraction is aimed at :lol

That being said it does look like effort has been put in and I hope that the improvements still look as colourful by November!

I think the improvements are great. Certainly Cuckoo!
The sheep isn't that bad, but the colour coordination certainly makes certain assests stand out.

Will be interesting to see if they finally drill a drainage hole in the sheeps 'hood'. It would always fill up with water and looked silly.

A sheep in a bikini , Hehe compared to some of the things our European brothers and sisters have in their parks that's nothing. Kids won't care, if they even notice they'll just find it funny.

I have to say the sheep is a bit unusual but then again it's kind of cartoon-like I guess!

Although it is nice that Merlin are re-opening attractions :)

That Hex image just goes to show how some elements really have deteriorated over the years. Those tiles were never meant to be 'dirty' in the way we've been used to seeing them for the last 10+ years.

Hopefully they continue this into other areas of the park where the current theming style covers up a lot of sins, such as Katanga Canyon which has many overgrown and lost theming elements.
