You're right. This is where I think Saw and Th13teen may prove to be the 'make or break' kinda thing - we can say to Merlin now ok, you have a fairly clean slate. So far new attractions have been better than those from the late Tussauds period, so that's a tick. We say they don't seem to be doing much on upkeep yet but as you say, damage is already done really. The true test will be if Saw and Th13teen are kept in tip top shape, we will see that from now on upkeep will be a priority even if upkeep of older stuff isn't possible. If Saw and Th13teen are left to rot, we'll know for sure they aren't committed. To be honest, for all we complain Saw isn't doing badly at the moment really. The area is still generally clean and tidy, the queue screens and audio still work perfectly, the queue shotguns still work, the station timer still ticks. If you compare this to say, X:\, it's winning already. If by the time Merlin are fully into the swing of the next major development the same can still be said, they'll get a pat on the back from me.
