@Gobbledok that's it running with counterweights. I don't think the ride can operate without them.

The wrong photo was posted.  This is the correct photo.

[Gobbledok]

The photos being posted by tpsn clearly show the top two portions of the arm still there exactly the same as the photo i posted 

Ages ago there were extra weights on top but thats going way back

[themagician]

@Gobbledok the photo TPSN posted and the one I shared on GCTP were older photos. The counterweights are definitely gone, as confirmed by @Ogre in their latest video

So theyre unbolted

Nothing has been torched there

Doomsday’s ‘closed from’ date has now been removed. Marvin’s maintenance has been extended by a month. The Green Lemon is having issues again. And Studio Showcase is closed again (it was closed last Saturday as well and heard it’s due to lack of staff).

Green Lantern also could be due to lack of staff, while Doomsday did/does have it's fair share of issues GL is often next on the list if they are short staffed (and it was also closed last Saturday along with Showcase)

Every major ride except GL and JL is now down. What an embarrassment.

It’s past the April school holidays and it’s fast approaching winter (the deadest time of the year). Two of the majors are scheduled to shut at this period every year, another is having a major being built right next door (and another ride within), another is being renovated, with another ride most likely getting pulled down.

People complaining that rides are closed at this time are living under a rock. It’s been this way for decades before BGH ever came in the picture

I beg to differ. I've been going to the park for 'decades' and It's never been as bad as what it has been now and in the past couple of years.

Let me get this straight - major rides are having rides built right next door, or within them, every winter?

No.

I'm sorry, but when your headlining (only) attractions are Roxy, Green Lantern and Justice League - you probably shouldn't be open.

Wrong. 100% wrong. At the most they would only ever want to have 2 majors at a time closed unless something ever went wrong.  The general schedule was:

Lethal Weapon / Arkham (After Aust day till early March) > Superman / Batwing (Early march till Easter holidays) > Scooby and RoadRunner after easter holidays > Wild West Falls from June till around August in prep for holidays. Then it would be Tunes / Batride between September and November. 

After November they would try to have all rides open and getting ready for the xmas holidays. Obviously with more rides sometimes a weekend (or maybe a single week with 3 rides closed) did happen but it was really avoided as much as possible. Only in the last 4-5 years have we really seen this many closures happening on a regular and it's 100% not acceptable. 

I really think at this stage, the park would be better running weekends and holidays only until they can catch up on things as it's absolutely pathetic the way the place is being ran.
