Question - I apologise if this is insensitive in anyway.

Why do you think there is still black plastic in the area on the lift-hill where the accident occured? Out of respect for the families? Part of investigation? Something relating to the structure?

Just curious as it looks out of place. Thank you :)

I haven't seen it, so i'm only speculating - but depending on how and why it was put up in the first place, it could be just that nobody ever saw a need to take it down, or otherwise perhaps it is there to shield the scene from the helicopters - there may be something grisly left behind, or they may just not want that particular spot shot by the news cameras....

Well there was white sheets there immediately after the accident for obvious sensitivity reasons.

as for the black sheeting you see now, it’s only a guess but I’d take a stab that maybe the entire conveyer was covered in this after the investigation to have it non visible from the air or vantage points based on it largely being the focal point of the accident.

several months of elemental effects (or more likely the ripper storms of last week) have torn, removed some of these.

TRR Demolition: From what I saw on the Buzzsaw, parts of the cave have been exposed while some parts remain enclosed, station area remains intact for now

Whole Ride is now drained as originally some parts of the ride still were full of water
