Even if just it's temporary doesn't mean it should be a shambles or unprofessional. This does not give the aura or confidence this is at the UKs supposed premier park.
Quick fixes often stay longer than the original intent - if it was good enough at the time, why not a bit longer.

How does that old adage go again? "There's nothing as permanent as a temporary solution".

It’s not finished though, and the park wasn’t meant to be open until July 4th... IF it’s like that July 4th I’ll eat my words, but I’m almost certain it wont be

I would recommend having some BBQ sauce on standby - it's quite nice with words in my experiences...

In the mid-2000s, there were actually a load of signs around Alton reading 'This is a temporary sign' - which made me think of exam papers 'this page is left blank'.
I quite like the temporary closed look, but I won't do if this is the shape of things to come - the digital signs are unreliable enough without needing manually updating!

Although looking at that, the surround is clearly intended to be covered as it has measurement markings around it... ?Fingers crossed it’s done by July 4th... I’m on a diet!!!

^ no no no. Have to agree with Nicky. McDs BBQ sauce is the only way to go.
I say WTF Merlin need to get that sauce in the burger kitchen dispensers ?

One question: have you tried Sweet Baby Ray's?

I admit I haven’t. But others bbq sources never live upto expectation. Would feel aggrieved to buy a bottle just for it to sit in the fridge and end up in the bin 2 years latter

I dunno, I think Baby Ray is pretty reliable...

To add, @BlueSonicHD , if you do get yourself a bottle of Baby Ray's and you still prefer the Maccy D's stuff, well, then your tastebuds are clearly shot to sh*t and you should probably get yourself checked for the 'Rona. ?

So Alton Towers have re-opened... But all of Darek Forest (Thirteen and Rita), Hex, and everything else in that area of the park is closed for the foreseeable future, with these railings put up:-

^Couldn't sandbags be used just as they are in Blackpool for the Big One together with actual guests, and on plenty of other coasters worldwide, to make up the weight required?
