Originally Posted By FerretAfros Well, that certainly looks like a temporary solution, which I guess is good. It will work until they can get something more permanent worked out, but I really hope that their final plan isn't as obtrusive as this is. Obviously, the covered scaffholding under will be gone, but the temporary railings on the top look pretty bad. It's a shame that the feature that made Alice so unique will be less neat. Hopefully they can come up with some sort of collapsable railings that are only up when they need them.

Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance LPFan22, I must say, you take some beautiful pictures. I love looking at them. It makes me realize when we are lucky to make it down there, we have very little time to actually appreciate the beauty of the park with all of the hustle and bustle of trying to fit everything into a vacation! That Casey Jr shot was so pretty!

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt Nice pics. Um, CC, no I don't "want" them to rip it out. However, IF there is something better on the drawing boards then by all means go ahead and bring in the wrecking ball.

Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I think the railings would look ok if they had some kind of vine decorations that fit with the theme. Obviously so that you can still see the cars coming down, and still see over it when you're riding, but decorate it so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Thanks for the update, m'dear! At least they've put a little bit of dressing on those temporary railings. The leaves aren't fully-formed like the others in the queue, so that tells me they'll likely be updating the whole thing - soon, I hope!
Originally Posted By believe The rails don't look very good. Hopefully they really will be temporary. I can't tell if they are on both sides or just one side. How much you want to bet that a guest will get hurt by sticking their hands out to touch the rails. Wait and see.
Originally Posted By LPFan22 Thanks for the kind words, cc. I really enjoy the little things that not everyone seems to pay much attention to. I'll try to post updates or fun pics on a more regular basis.
