Another day of refreshing this topic for any pictures or videos of a car going round the track

[Luce]

Please can we not post anything that isn't relevant to the discussion as it fills up the topic unnecessarily, thanks very much

In addition, please kindly leave the moderating to the team thanks very much

[Kirsty25]

Anyone on park today? Anything happening?

There has been a large delivery of these boxes. I'm sure they're used in theatrical performances for something.

Lighting rigs/projection mapping equipment? Exciting stuff

Does anyone know if all the fencing is complete yet? I'm doubtful of testing until it is complete

Media equipment (lighting sound etc) is usually transported in these kind of boxes...

[JonoD]

Those are definitely stage equipment boxes (often seen for lighting/sound equipment). I think I can make out the word 'Noise' on the side of it, possibly meaning that they contain speakers/sound equipment.

I wonder why they're being lifted by crane though?

Possibly because they are heavy or because thats the only way to get it into the station !

I can make out the word 'Rose' on the side of those boxes and after a quick bit of research I found this http://www.rosebrand.com/

Seems likely it could be some kind of backdrop for inside the building

Usually though, they would only be in boxes like those if they were temporary - so could be part of a media event / photo shoot (for the 'first' test?)

If you look to the middle left there is even more boxes !

Ah yes I see it says Robe now  anyways, looks like there could be a pretty heafty lighting rig  looks like there's far too many boxes for just a photoshoot

To me they look like what are used as the lightning and sound desks used at things like gigs and such. However these are normally in the containers for ease of packing away and transporting. Surely if it was going to be a fixed featured they'd have a more permanent fixture installed ??

[Liam-AltonTowers]

Well in The Smiler game when your doing the indoor barrel role and you unlock The Flasher aren't there flashing lights inside as well as the one's on the actual arm outside. So these lights if there being lifted into the station could be those flashing lights as you do the barrel role? Just an idea.

Looks like flightcases for a media event, either filming for an advert or a piece for the news?
