They obviously aren't from Minnesota. Excuse them...it's not their fault they're ignorant. This is the Twin Citites we are talking about...you know, one of the largest business hubs in the country... Most people at the park are tourists. Almost every Minnesotan I know considers the theme park an overpriced waste of money. I do have to get enough points to try the new rides though!

They're both there...my roommate is a baseball freak and made me check.

That area had self serve refill stations before...About the only place in the mall too, but that's not new.

I'm surprised nobody is acknowledging my post about the artwork of SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge. Especially the part about the tunnel at the bottom of the first drop. Even the description in the visitor's guide says: "twist and turn through creepy caverns" Do you think they'll add caves...kinda looks like they might from the picture. They may only have time to do some of what is portrayed in the artwork, but they could always finish it later if that's the case.

According to the new MOA visitor's guide the new inflatable Bounce is going to be SpongeBob's pineapple house, called "Pineapple Poppers" and the official new name of Pepsi Ripsaw is Pepsi Orange Streak. Not sure if that's old news, but thought I'd share. Here's the link to a PDF of it. It has some cool artwork of what some of the 100% completed rides will probably look like... http://www.mallofamerica.com/images/VG/08VisGuide_F2.pdf -A sort of splash effect decoration around the base of Splat-O-Sphere -A gazebo type queue with avatar on top and more cloudish decorations for Avatar Airbender -On the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge there are coral decorations around supports, water cutouts and paint on the floor, seaweed wrapping around the support columns of the actual building with blue bubble designs on the inside, a purple rock formation/pipe sort of TUNNEL for the first drop of the coaster, more rock formations in the background with a street and some buildings give more of an impression that you're actually down lower in Rock Bottom, and a more detailed bus stop with restrooms, bus stop sign, vending machine and such. There is even a Krusty Krab with it's sign that the ride appears to go through. That last part seems a bit out of place...Sorry that's a long list and if they do all that it's gonna look AWESOME.
