I think you are all nit picking for the sake of it.
Do you not remember what was in place before that cardboard cutout, it was just a shower curtain. Everything in the station has always been cardboard or wood. You've also probably failed to notice the foliage that covers the entire ceiling. The station looks absolutely awesome!
I've not ridden this yet, but from everything I've seen online, I think they have done a fine job and there are a lot of enthusiasts at the park who would agree. Yes there are some dead spots, but given Merlin's track record, this surpasses my expectations. I think it's a worthy replacement.
So stop picking at things that don't need it, but I do agree on the spacing between Ride & Adventure, wonder what happened there.
