Ooooh, but seriously. I have an update.
Here's the current state of the Old Town area:
Lots of weeds growing up through the paving. That certainly indicates very little human movement and interaction in the area.
And yes, Rocky Express is equally untouched.
I believe that whilst the main construction period is due to start autumn / early winter this year (if all goes to plan), the park had planned to do some preliminary work this summer. This seems to have been bought to a pause, although is no real indication - and should not be read as such - as to whether the park think the planning application will be approved or not.
