The repainting of buildings around Amity continues with the old Amity Shop building currently in the process of being turned green. The foundations for the dodgems ride also appear to be complete, with it being a travelling ride it shouldn't take long for it to be installed and ready for guests. The Detonator ride entrance has also had some work done to it, to prepare for the name change a new entrance portal has been built, with a temporary banner for the old Detonator ride still remaining.
