Thanks to TowersStreet member Lucas for these photo of work currently taking place outside Cloud Cuckoo Land.

With rumours suggesting a retheme of the area soon, this could be preparations for it.

Having been closed for maintenance since the beginning of the season, Enterprise has reopened today for the first time in 2019. The queue line and surrounding area have seen a repaint in recent weeks, and the signage around the ride has been updated to a Ministry of Joy theme.

[TowersStreet @TowersStreet]

After being closed for the past four months since the start of the season here at @altontowers Enterprise looks set to open soon, with the ride testing today.

[TowersStreet @TowersStreet]

New signs have been added suggesting that the House of monsters scare maze won’t be returning until next years Scarefest.

Could this mean Cloud Cuckoo Land will be closed off before the end of the season?

@tpt161 truth is that's what you get when the market's completely monopolised. no competition = no incentive for investment

[TowersTimes @TowersTimes]
