I understand if you aren't normally much of a waterpark person BUT if there was ever a waterpark you would be willing to visit this is one of the best ones outside of Disney and Universal, the 3 water coasters are outstanding.

Ok I swear I posted a couple weeks ago but maybe I'm older than I thought and only did it in my head, lol. My thoughts: I am 100% willing to give EP the benefit of the doubt and wait and see how they manage things. I'm not going to trash the old ownership, that's just yelling into the void, but I do hope that now having the status of one of the top parks in a chain (no matter how small said chain is) some good investment is put into the park. I think good places to start are the shows, which they are already doing, and working on staffing which I know is easier said than done. Assuming that they are not able to keep the DC characters I think a re-do of Justice League for next year would be fabulous and relatively cheap and easily done off season. Another good step in the right direction would be to make some real improvements to Frightfest. For those of you that want HITP back that will be a lot more expensive and always lost money. FF is a proven money maker. A few new flats are easy too. I won't expect a brand new giant coaster early on, that's just not realistic. As far as the announcement that the dining plans won't work...........I mean it's a bit annoying but at least they are offering compensation if desired and they still work at the SF owned parks. To be honest we seldom used both our meal credits at the park. I was already asked to pick a new home park for our memberships on the SF app with no mention of the fact that said memebership will continue to work at the sold off parks this year. Of course. I don't really care about DC characters and I have mixed feelings about the Looney Tunes characters. Sure they are nostalgic but the prescence or not of characters does not affect my attendance at a park, although they do enhance the atmosphere. Perhaps it would be just as well to have some characters a little more relevant to today's children. I mean when was the last time LT was even on anywhere? Or even more inclusive to some enhanced themeing, like having Igor roaming around Darkmoor at EU although I don't expect it on that scale. Screamin Eagle! The acknowledgement of it's anniversery is wonderful, the pins on opening weekend a nice touch, the implication that more is coming promising and even the thought of new chaser lights intoxicating. In all seriousness though maintenance of a classic like SE should be an indication of how EP will value the park. I'll be optimistic until there is some reason not to be! p.s. - I can confirm there will be an article about SE's 50th in an upcoming edition of Rollercoaster! for those that receive the ACE publication.
