I'm very excited to win a patch haha.

It's really interesting seeing this park close. When KI made their announcements for next year, the Facebook page blew up with people complaining that if they wanted slides they would just go to The Beach. Looks like KI made a great move in choosing slides for next year. Sad to see another waterpark go though...

Is anyone playing the game? I've been trying to keep up as much as I can, but they only list the top 10, so I have no idea what place I'm in. Hoping that I'm somewhere in the top 40, but top 15 would be nice. Top 10 and my score.

Haha, love it Big Guy!

^Yeah... looks sooooo much better than OSX

I have not always agreed with things you have posted on here, but seriously, thank you for this.

I don't know if you've done the ropes course yet, but it's worth a try. Sits solidly behind Dollywood's for me. Also, they have been testing a really cool lighting package that you can faintly see from the Webcam, should just add to the whole thing!

Seems we had very similar opinions on the park. What they have there is fantastic, but a few more rides definitely wouldn't hurt. I'm sure the waterpark will help immensely. Shame you didn't do the WaveRacer, this was a favorite at the park. Most of the people shooting the canons were only aiming for people they knew which left my group, who all chose to ride, pretty dry. A very unique attraction that I recommend checking out. And BTW, they're fighting Brickbeard! C'mon buddy, give the man the respect he's earned, haha. Thanks for the report!

Actually, admission for the slides is included with Gangplank!

Things have been flying along up here. Both new additions are complete. The slides will open this Wednesday, with TMNT to follow on the 17th. Honestly I'd put TMNT's themeing up against any flat ride Busch, Six Flags, or Herschend would do. The thing looks absolutely fantastic! And if the slides are are anywhere on par with the Shoe Slides at the City Museum, I will faint. The taller slide has two straightaways that employees were flying down today. Now here's your Construction Update for 3/3/12: Edit: I hope these aren't too big, I apologize though if they are. Very nice site to be greeted with! Just as intimidating as the Axe. Though I do like the sign, it's just as dark in person as it looks here. I swear to god they stole this design from Spirit Halloween Store's 2012 decorations... I'm not kidding haha. Backside of the facade. Anyone see the hidden Easter Egg? Gerslauter Employee checking out the control panel. Isn't it awesome? Love the pizza slices! Frickin' Awesome if I do say so. Blah, blah, blah, 6 points, same as Axe. Love the shells and weapons! Was great to see that the Mantinence Employees had no trouble flipping the seat. Indoor park... Very cool new Street Lamps! Doing something up there. And that's all for that! Then there's this thing that hasn't been advertised. No word yet on whether multiple trips down the slides will be allowed. Interesting that the slides are shorter... They look mighty awesome up there, should be the highest guest acessible spot in the park. A new one of these was added to the top! So this just recently went in behind the Goblet Toss. Glad to see them rembering the past (yeah right). BTW, he only shot 8 out of 15 They were filming for something called "Fur Real Friends Dizzy Dancers" for the entire time I was there. Seriously children dancing for 4 hours, just straight jumping and dancing. Lot's of security, too. Couldn't even get close with a camera. Thanks for lurking 'til the very end, and "Be sure to check back very soon, ya Scurvy Bilge Rat Scallywags!"

At least 10 years away... http://rcdb.com/10148.htm

I recently saw someone doing this and i felt horrible with the screaming kid finally one of the chainsaw man said to come with him and took them out of the maze I thanked him as he "attacked" me I can't say I'm of the opinion that there needs to be an age restriction in Haunts. We had plenty of younger kids come through this year, who I swear could have stayed stone faced if I'd of murdered their parents. Similarily, my sister has been going in Haunts since 4. She loves 'em! She'll even sit and watch flow-throughs for an hour online. I don't have any problem with parents taking little kids into Haunts. What frustertes me though, are the strollers that clog up foggy areas and the parents that feel the need to finish the maze with a screaming kid buried in their shoulder.

So did anyone attend the opening?

Amen to that! SWO does the best Christmas Celebration out of all the Orlando parks. Love seeing other parks jump in.

As much as I agree about The Boss' queue, it should be illegal to remove SkyCoasters. I've been on 3 of them for upwards of 30 rides total, and honestly it doesn't get much better.

This is a newspaper they hand out in the morning that holds the park map. It is about the size of a sheet of paper when folded in half, so I would only trade it for three quality park maps, to offset extra shipping. It is of really great quality, and the park map looks fantastic inside! One of, if not my favorite maps that I have. That's about all for now. PM me if you're interested!

Last time I checked, the waterpark is still there, doing fine.

Isn't the capacity with the 8 person rafts similar to a B&M Hyper? Lines are gonna fly next year!

The only ones shown in the concepts, and I believe the IAAPA video were the round ones.

'Cause it's Dolly, and with her, it's go big or go home!

Yep, right after the splash-down. The riders get pretty close to the rock work. One of the highlights of the ride!

Bee Movie in the Parade.... Meh.

Dessert Delights, Baby! Mint Chocolate Ice Cream and Key Lime Pie all the way!!!

Me and my friends were trying to figure out how the heck they would fit MIA into that song. I still have the recording of the entrance loop that I brought back for proof. Haha
