If you like images from the sky showing a reduction in the number of trees in a random location, boy do I have a treat for you...
There is very much a clear and obvious removal of trees over the year period between March 2020 and April 2021.
So, what does it mean? Who knows.
One would certainly have to raise a suspicious eyebrow at this slow deforestation and the fact that this is Platform 15's final year.
But here's the thing. Cutting down trees is a very simple job in the grand scheme of things. If an investment for 2022 (or 2023, or beyond) was going there, what need is there to cut down trees over a year and a half in advance? Genuinely don't know the answer there. Maybe some groundwork surveying or something? I dunno.
Could this just be a sign that there's some diseased trees in the area? Or that the trees were felled for all the wood used in Creek Freaks Unchained last year? Could there be a plan in the future to create a building round the Platform 15 route to create an indoor maze space? Or could it actually be for some new ride in the future?
Only time will tell I guess.
