Nonsense. Taziker are doing it after their successful work on the COLOSSOS RIDE at the Thorpe Park Resort.

I do wonder how much of a difference it makes. I'm certainly not against it (themed/stylised pre-recorded messages telling you what to do is a win in my eyes). But do people take it in? Do people listen? Do they even notice? Who knows. As I say, I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, but I do wonder if it makes any difference. On that note, I wonder if a themed one at Hyperia would have the same effect. Having someone tell you it, a voice which you haven't heard in the queue or elsewhere, which is less polished, makes people pay slightly more attention I think. Adds to the sense of "you need to do this". Again, no harm in a themed one being made, but would it have the same effect, if any? Obviously these are broader questions for the industry in general, just something I'm thinking out loud about.

Train One, refurbished and back on track. having been working on this train for over a year, this train has only it's original chassis, everything else has been renewed, even the bodyshells and seat moldings. One could have not have failed to realize the degradation of the foam on the restraints, which resulted in concaves developing on the underside caused by the effects of human perspiration; now the comparison with train two which remains in use emphasizes that. Some of the new rotating joints are harder to move for the moment. Train three is now off track and undergoing refurbishment. This work does conflict with the remarks of another rider yesterday, who insisted that they had seen a report which stated that Stealth "is to be removed at the end of the season", really? this work proves that Stealth is here for a good few years yet.
