Scaffolding around the theming element seems to be coming down today, hoping this means we will get a reveal at scarefest

Hopefully! I'll be attending this years scarefest and it'd be great to see, especially if they light it up at night!iloveshauni wrote:Scaffolding around the theming element seems to be coming down today, hoping this means we will get a reveal at scarefest

I do reckon there will be some sort of flame effect for this ride, especially now that logo has been used.. and any update on that scaffolding yet??

The whole of the scaffold came down yesterday. Leaving the entire theming element in a black wrap same as the upper half. I've got some other photos as well, showing that the prep for the queueline passing through the structure is finally taking place, and the ground leveling for the queue up in the middle of the structure is happening too with lines laid out for a few small switchbacks up there before it passes through the structure. The lift rails also definitely have their steel plates now however I was unable to get decent clear photos of these.

I feel bad saying it, the rails have been laid for several weeks now, but the steel plating is new as of Thursday :P

As already posted on towers street the outer covers have all come down off the theming element pretty much leaving what I would say is almost certainly a ram of some sort..

To be fair, the name "Twigs" sounds so docile that perhaps the newspapers won't keep bashing the towers for having "notoriously dangerous" rollercoasters

Am I the only one who can make out some eyes and a big open mouth? Is this the face of the wicker man?
