A look inside the Octagon room with the lights on. Notice the lighting rig at the top used for thunder/lighning effects during the ride - this can be lowered down to floor level for maintenance purposes.

Taken at the beginning of 1996, this shot shows Nemesis, now almost two years old, dominating the landscape in Forbidden Valley. Also shown is Thunder Looper, with 1996 being its final year in the park. Look closely, and you'll see that Thunder Looper was actually in action when this picture was taken.

Surprisingly, instead of the old Ug Land rock sign going back in place, there's a new banner instead, welcoming guests to "Ug Land and The Thunder Rock Rally, featuring Rita".

The fog horns on the station platform have now been reattached. The "TRRR" at the top stands for "Thunder Rock Rally Radio", which is the name given to the faux radio station being played around the area.

February 2005Continuing the "chequered" theme, some announcement masts (themed as claxons) have appeared on the station platform, as well as the control booth being themed as a race control box. Also, the words "Thunder Rock Rally" possibly point towards a merging of Rita and Ug Land - the font for the words "Race Control" is the Rita font, yet the font for "Thunder Rock Rally" is the font usually used for Ug Land...
