I remember the models! I also remembered that sometimes when they went to close up and turn them off they would sometimes turn them off wrongly and the train would get stuck in some other part of the model and it wouldn't be running the next day. I always thought they were cool, I remember that one never looked like an exact copy of the coaster though.
Construction going on behind the San Marco Theater Thursday and Friday this week. So please don't clog the walkways so team members can get thru to where they have to go, just saying.
I haven't seen them working on Mach Tower late at night anymore which is probably a good thing. The new coaster still has land clearing going. Things seem to be pretty stale, nothing new is happening. Mach Tower is still be worked on, the new coaster still has a huge hole.
Howl-o-Scream sounds like it will be 13X scarier this year. Pompeii is getting revamped, they gutted it out completely and are basically rebuilding it. If FHP is being used then, I can only imagine one house back there, but if they do it right, maybe they can fit in two or three. You can squeeze a few in there real tight. I am excited to see EIA go and another maze in there. To be honest, Cavern of Darkness will always be my favorite maze at Busch because it was the only maze that I went through that I was scared the most. I think they did a really good job with the goblin in caves theme. Bitten and Hunted were just over-hyped. They were good but not that good. Harvest Hollow was really good, if you went alone early. I remember being one of the first people through Harvest Hollow one day and I was by myself. It was one of the scariest things ever. I thought I was about to get hit by a guy jumping off a haystack from behind a cornstalk. Then the one guy with his huge head mask was like blocking my way and I had to actually run through part of it. Excellent, but then I remember going through when it was crowded and it lost all that scare.
ANYWAY - Mazes:
Ireland (Europe in the Air Queue) - Possible maze, maybe something like the first maze in this location.
France (The Royal Palace Theater) - So far, I can only assume Catacombs is coming back, but nothing has been heard about it.
Oktoberfest (Festhaus Park) - I am assuming we can count on one or two things here if all goes well with construction.
Festa Italia (Behind Roman Rapids) - As far as I have heard and seen, Cursed is gutted and not coming back and nothing seems to be replacing it.
Pompeii - We can expect a revamped Pompeii maze.
Scarezones:
Festa Italia - Clowns are most likely coming back, not 100% sure just yet.
