If SW8 is going to be in Katanga canyon then I really hope they spend some time enhancing the area.

Something I had overlooked until now, but I realised 25th March will not be the first date Hex is open this year. It will open earlier starting on 12th March for services day. Sorry if that's really obvious but I never thought of it!

Has it been confirmed anywhere that Hex will be open for the Services Day? As far as I was aware Hex won't be open until the main season starts, much like The Smiler wasn't open for Services Day last year.MakoMania wrote:Something I had overlooked until now, but I realised 25th March will not be the first date Hex is open this year.

It's great to see that they are actually making some effort to spruce up the Hex signage, it was certainly getting quite faded before being taken down.

Looks like there's some new projections in the waiting area before the pre-show :lol. Looking forward to getting back on this soon, It's one of my favourites at Towers!

I love the new signs! They look so vibrant and vivid. It would be nice if we could see some before and after images however! 
EDIT: I have looked at some before images and you can see small but nice differences. For instance the white glow around the Towers as well as the depth of render in the building. My favourite change is the sky however because
the clouds are a lot more blended with the sky and the moon more hidden behind the clouds which I like as it adds more realism. The white glow around the towers helps to show the back light produced from the moon too! :lol

The towers have also made a before and after, can't wait to see the whole thing in person.
Thanks to Justin for showing me how to fix this up

You need the image URL and tags on the forum. Press quote to look at the script, as this will helpTheDuke wrote:The towes have also made a before and after, can't wait to see the insides myself

Also how does one get the images from a link to show up in the post
