Can agree with what was said earlier. Easily the best coaster in the state now. Just an absolutely amazing ride from start to finish... Got rides in the front and the back today. From the moment you drop offf the lift to the brakes, it is just unrelenting... The raven truss... The zero-g.... The outward banked turn is probably one of the most intense they've done... and then you get this airtime on the double up, and stupid ejector off that drop before the barrel roll over the arcade... but I think my favorite moment is that roll after the turnaround before you come back over the arcade.... The amount of snap on that is absolutely insane and it's just perfection... What a ride... Fun Spot definitely has a winner on their hands... Now they can start to build around it.

Well I guess the photos I took today are redundant. I'll leave them below in no particular order. I will also note though. The entire entrance does have new concrete and the entrance bathrooms are being remodeled. Also the old game in front of Ninja has been turned in to a seating area. Also all of the basketball games have been replaced. Oh - and at least one section of Thunder River's trough has been redone.

I got to get one first ride of the day today. I walked into the que after a short thunderstorm and was greeted to a bunch of enthusiasts in line. They were a lot of fun to talk to. I thought it was a great ride. I like the roll over the arcade

No pics of the trains but I noticed some looked way better. The bright blue trains on Freeze really accentuate how faded the track is though. I didn't really think Ninja looked bad last year though so I didn't really notice a new finish. Mine Train definitely looks fresher and some of the tunnel has been redone (some of that in a photo). American Thunder's ramp is gone and it's a Log Flume log with flowers in it now. Anyone notice Empire Theater now has Ninja's colors?

Echoing the previous sentiments, yes, Arie Force One was awesome! The kids and I grabbed 5 rides on it during our few hours at the park, trying out the front, back, and middle, and it rides great everywhere, but also a little different in each spot. Very front at night was probably my favorite overall ride, but Row 6, the middle (also at night), gave me my favorite moment on the coaster, as it went up into the zero-g roll, and I lifted out of my seat for what seemed like an eternity, during the longest sustained period I think I've ever been out of my seat on a coaster ever! The going straight from that in the outer bank ejector hill is simply an amazing transition! The two rolls later in the ride also hit different, and better, in the middle, which was interesting to note. The back was definitely great if you love violence with your coasters, because AFO definitely brings that in the back, especially at the end of its run on the quad down, and hitting the brake run! Just be prepared to come to a VERY sudden stop if you're riding back there when you hit that brake run. I rode my first ride of the day in the very back, and it was awesome, but it was also incredibly intense, and I did prefer my rides in the front and middle more, personally. But that will obviously be to taste and personal preference of thigh abuse. All in all, Fun Spot absolutely knocked it out of the park with this coaster, and it's a gem, that is definitely in my Top 10 coasters somewhere, though I'm not sure where all the dust on my new ranking will settle from this Florida/Georgia vacation. Adding three Top 10 coasters though (this, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi) definitely made for an amazing week of fantastic coaster riding for myself and my kids!

Falcon's Fury was testing nonstop all day today. I feel like I heard it drop every couple minutes for hours on end. I think its safe to expect a re-opening very very soon!

Great to hear! I'm about an hour away from the park now, on my way back North from Florida, and look forward to spending about 3 hours at the park riding it tonight with my kids! After riding both Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster on our vacation this past week, it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up! I'm betting from the sounds of it, quite well!

Danrarbc beat me to it, but I did find some throwback pictures of the park along with the 1971 park map with the picnic area in the bottom left.

Got to ride this 10 times today in all different spots of the train. Can confirm Fun Spot has a winner on its hands, and now has the best coaster in the state. Everything on this ride is great and there is 0 wasted space. Double up followed by the barrel roll over the arcade is by far my favorite part.

Europa park has posted a onride on their streaming service Veejoy. It is the exact lay-out as reported in April last year only the triple launch is a double launch instead. It also shows a bit of the theming and I have to say I like it. Really can't wait to ride this ride.
