Glitch Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think it looks much better in it's refresh of paint, I like seeing rides nice and shiny again. Am I the only one who thinks Galactica may have also been repainted, or at least received a jet wash anyway? It's not shiny it's matt white.

yeah Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hasn't that been the background of AT-TLC's twitter for a week or so now?Yes.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieN Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Woah! It's whiter than my teeth. It looks similar to Pyrenees with the colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I presume that's the finished look though? Surely the biggest problem with repaints is access, so the access wouldn't have been removed before any given section was finished? If it is going to be left like that won't it age quickly and horribly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieN Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've also noticed that the supports have a red accent colour. The original scheme had rusty accent colours on the supports. I personally prefer the new red/copper colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is going to be left like that won't it age quickly and horribly? Depends how they're accessing it, they could easily just use a cherrypicker (and that is probably the best way) to do it... Least the station is getting something, that's the more important thing here... I do hope that it does get another coat of something to darken it slightly, pure white does not suit Nemmie...

Liam T Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It certainty looks fresher, though I understand some peoples opinion on the white, I must admit, the area already looks alive rather than a dull, ageing ride. A full re-paint is what Nemesis deserves, I'm just excited to see what else they've done too the ride area, please please fix the bus smoke!! 400400 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's great to see Nemesis getting the TLC it deserves, and I'm equally impressed/surprised that the station is having a repaint as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Good to see the station is getting the attention it needed! The track is looking good too so far, and I believe it is also getting a 'rust effect' of sorts added on as well. Glad to FV is getting a decent spruce up by the looks of things.

Mitchada04 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 With SW8 still rumoured to be going here, and the eventual moving of the entrance here (getting more and more likely now with the new path for the restaurant etc) and still rumours for a long way off but wanted CityWalk style thing between the golf and park so basically car park G sprucing it up now is a good move when it could be the forefront of the park for a few years. And as the TLC page has said, it is a work in progress. The station is in phases, phase one this week being the base coat. Scenic painting starts next week.

Benin Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 On the subject of a new entrance, I would HATE for the main entrance to be over in FV... Towers has one of the best entrance designs (bar Spinball ruining the view), and it would be a real shame to lose it... A hotel entrance sure, but not a main entrance... I've taken too many newbies on that Monorail trip with it's teasing views of the park and seen the positivity that comes with it...

Mattgwise Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Shame we aren't likely to ever see the blood waterfall again. They aren't allowed to use the dye as it was supposedly against environmental policies and was apparently seeping into local water courses.

I love the feeling when I walk down Towers Street. Also, alot of families tend to avoid areas like FV, mine included (my sister) so I doubt theyd force them in as soon as you enter.Sent from my SM-G361F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Love walking down Towers Street at the start of the day, with the music, and the ruins in the background. yeah and Kerfuffle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 The new entrance in FV would be terrible! Nothing beats walking down Towers Street in the morning. As for the repaint of Nemmy, looks nice but I do prefer the rusty look the track used to have. Glad that the station is getting some work done to it as well.

Coaster Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 They would be very silly to remove Towers Street, it's a very impressive entrance to a theme park and the shops/food outlets surrounding it must make a fortune each day.

SteveJ Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Mmmmm thank god finally they use proper scenic artists and not just the cheapest decorators they could find like usual. That looks terrific and beautiful TraX, 400400 and Kerfuffle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
