1. Visit Centralia 2. Look at Cornfields 3. Hang out at Sheetz 4. Yuengling brewery is somewhat close As said above, the park is in the middle of nowhere with nothing really of interest in the area (other than hiking...plenty of that) but it is definitely worth visiting the middle of nowhere in this case.

"without water" means they will use water for a few weeks then not at all after that.

for those of you who haven't heard the news yet today out of SFFT (from the FT92 fan event). . . here are the highlights from the "ride" announcements. . tho they also announced the festivals (the International food festival last month - that was SO good, is coming back, and several new shows announced as well). - Kid Flash will be opening in October. Yes, the two tracks will have different names, but they haven't yet decided on them (my question to Jeffrey after event ended) - Wonder Woman phase 1 refurb is almost done, and will be reopening shortly, but with same trains (refurb work has been done on them). Phase 2 will take place in 2024, and will replace all 3 trains with the newer train design -better comfort collar and no seatbelt. -- the new slides in the waterpark, are behind schedule, tho parts are on site, and the opening has officially moved to 2024 -- Skyscreamer is getting a retheme - to Supergirl. - Thrill Seeker Park is no more! Besides the confirmed removal of the Pirate Playscape, and the Looney Tunes Theater (and the moving of Bucking Broncos over to by Iron Rattler). . the whole area will now be part of the DCUniverse! all rides getting rethemed: Rambling Road - will become Penguin themed Sky Searchers - will become Poison Ivy themed Streamliner Coaster - will become Batgirl themed Stunt Pilots - will become Green Lantern Themed PLUS there will be 3 new rides added: a Zamperla Nebulaz - Cyborg themed a 70foot "bounce" tower, with rotating seats - Shazam themed & a Monorail!!! Themed to Superman/Metropolis, that will start in the corner back where the theater was, and will travel overhead out to Batman, and then back around the DCU area. 4 car trains, with 4 passengers per car. . an almost 5 minute ride. I was there here are some pics! it's not quite September yet. . but some of the Fright Fest decorations are already out! let's take a peek at Kid Flash! Track complete, all LED lights affixed, and they are working on the station. As noted above, Jeffrey announced it's opening in October, and we should keep an eye on emails for passholder previews, and sneak peek party information it looks BEAUTIFUL lookie at allll those electrical boxes to control the light package. this is gonna look stunning at night. they have restored a classic figure to the carousel! the bacwards seated clown is now back on the carousel after years and years of being gone! this was the first weekend of Octoberfest, and Spassburg area is all decked out - including this massive Animatronic that turns his head and heaves giant mugs of beer. gotta stop in and say hi to Sweet, sweet, Connie. and costumed cast members out to celebrate Octoberfest - asked for a pic, and they were happy to Oblige. (yes, I'm sweating. .it was 106 today!) ahhh. . into the cool (A/C) Zaragoza theater for FT92, the fan event that everyone is invited to. we got a peek at the entrance to Kid Flash (too slow to catch it, sorry), and the loading station: (and yeah, that really tall guy, stood up on his seat even tho he was in the front row. . so his head is in all my pictures. . sorry. . . don't have energy to crop, so enjoy his head in every pic). the Kid Flash cars for each train. . 2 seats across in each row. some of the signage that will be in the queue. for your train junkies. . here are some pics of the updated Wonder Woman trains. . coming in 2024. we got some updates on Boo Fest (the not so scary fright fest) as well as Frightfest (a new house, a new show, a new scare zone (the WHOLE boardwalk will be an evil carnival scare zone)) and a performance from the cast of Zombie Prom Jeffrey announced a new event coming up in ~6 weeks. . and man does this sound cool and yes, they will be doing fireworks at noon. . during the full eclipse! and it's a Saturday! ok. .here are looks at the ride announcements. bye bye "Thrillseeker Park" - hello part of DC Universe! been saying for MONTHS they were gonna retheme Skyscreamer. . as it made no sense to have a Non-DC ride between Superman & Kid Flash coasters. Really pleased they went with Supergirl! and the 3 new rides: the locations of where the rides will be in relation to the area. so basically back along side Bugs Bunny Rapids flume area. where this structure currently sits. Along that fence (and up some stairs) will be the Metroliner station. as announced, SFFT will now have the largest collection of DC Universe themed rides of any park in North America! Park President Jeffrey Siebert and I after the presentation.
