They appear to include speakers. Will that interfere with the heritage soundtrack already playing?
Thanks Jack

That's interesting, and at the same time very encouraging. Whilst we won't yet know exactly where this rock work is going to be, having a specialist come in to create and install it suggests that there is going to be a substantial amount of it, and that it will be high quality theming. It's entirely possible that they may have been on site today simply for a consultation, however I do wonder if they are looking at potentially having some rock work on the metal structure that's recently been covered and this work is about to get underway. Perhaps we'll soon have another different element of construction to keep an eye on?

Getting more excited for this with each day! I was at the park 2 days ago and the amount of earth that has been moved is huge! It's not quite on par with Nemesis' terrain alterations, but it's not a million miles away!

The heritage soundtrack is probably only supposed to be temporary on the SW8 path, until they have got theme music for the area in 2018! It will still be played in other areas like the gardens and fountain square though.AltonOperator wrote:They appear to include speakers.

Given the company's name, it seems the assumption has understandably be made that they are on-site to produce themed rockwork, however after having a look around the portfolio on their website there are also examples of them producing 'timber themed render'. This is in line with the proposed materials submitted to the local council earlier this year which stated that the theming features would consist of "timber themed render and steel" (and there's obviously no disputing the latter now).
Now obviously this doesn't mean we'll not also see some form of rockwork, as the descriptions about the materials being used are limited and brief, but until we see what's going behind the scrim we can't know for sure...

The path that runs alongside SW8 is reportedly closed today as more bents are being added. Perhaps that's why we saw so many of them being built over the past few days, so that they could all be installed at once and allowing for the path to be closed for the shortest amount of time possible.

I believe (But could be very wrong) that the path was only closed for a few hours and reopened that same day once the bents had been installed.

Okay now I am confused.. the plans state the queue line goes off to the right and under the track..
But due to recent pictures from TPW.. this doesn't look the case anymore? #-o

The screens are working but it doesn't look very interesting. Hopefully something more exciting will come in the future.

Definitely. Once they have them all ready, they'll do something good. Otherwise they were a bit waste of money for a graphic that could have been displayed non-digitally for practically nothing.
Thanks Jack
