A new sight for this closed season: the bath tubs from the flume sitting in the car parks.	A closer look at some of the tubs.

And with the tubs in the cars parks, the flume and its lake have been drained, leaving some ducks looking rather stranded.	Towers Trading, not trading right now.

And the other side of Towers Street.	Would any TT closed season gallery be complete without the leap frog fountains.. without the frogs?

The Katanga Canyon Sign.	A very closed Merrie England, still complete with the 3D Cinema.

A rather windswept looking stall in the middle of Merrie England	The Splash Karts sitting alongside their lake.

Another look at Merrie England	The Tea Cups and game stalls, all closed for the winter.

Some cosmetic work being carried out on the side of the Courtyard Tavern.	Finally, a look at the old Brunch Stop cafe in Fountains Square, which is rumoured to be turning into an arcade for the 2005 season.
February 7th 2005

A new paint job for the Nick: Outta Control building	The Vintage Cars, all lined up for their re-opening in the new season.

The "Ug Bugs" sitting outside the Tweenies Theatre	A closer look at the Bugs' new colour scheme.

One of the construction vehicles for Rita parked outside Toy Land Tours	A look at Fountain Square, full of construction vehicles for Rita.

The Corkscrew Cars sitting behind Cred Street. (The building is the far end of Toyland Tours)	A plane flies over the backstage area behind Cred Street

Spot the odd one out: The Rapids boats, out of water.	The Splash Karts stored alongside their lake.

A festive look for the entrance to the X Sector and the Blackhole	The Enterprise Cars sitting "relaxing" outside the Re-Hydrator Cafe

The X Sector During Winter Weekends.	The X Sector Pond: drained during the off season.

Submission in the Snow	Less Gorillas in the Mist, more Oblivion in the Mist.

The Bungee Trampolines in Fountain Square stripped down the the frames.	The central column of the Ug Swinger, in storage while Rita is constructed.

A rather blurred (sorry) image of The Blade being dismantled for seasonal maintenance.
