With the gift shop, are there cobra themed hats similar to the ones the performers wore, or just the standard fare in that department? This might be just the pictures you shared, but I found the ride op uniforms detract from the overall great themeing along with a rather open air station instead of in a pyramid-like structure. Again, maybe this is just the shared pictures, but I can't wait to ride it this August!

Recently got off a double night ride on my home park's own GCI: Renegade. I definitely think that this new coaster will give an amazing night ride, perhaps one to rival Beast's. Renegade is not in the woods, but still has a better night ride than day ride and I can't wait to hear the reviews compared to Beast. I was also thinking that the name "Primal" would be a cool name for the coaster. -

My general idea for the park's gate coaster, if it be a B&M invert. Black: general track following (elements TBD) Blue: station Red: lift With plenty of room for queue and a space to use the rest of the Dinos Alive area for future expansion/Haunt Use Gate Coaster -

Any serious guesses on the name/theme for the ride other than _______ of Beast, because all those belong in the Davy Jones' Locker of Beast. If this is the final design, I wonder how the night rides will compare between this and Beast. -

While running Bumper Cars earlier today, there were some maintenance guys taking tape measurements of the entrance. Most likely means nothing, but let the speculation commence! -

While I am a fan of the idea to replace riptide with a frisbee, I wonder if there's enough room for one. Also, does anyone else think that Planet Snoopy could use another kiddie/family coaster? I was thinking a custom Vekoma roller skater-type that replaces Snoopy's Junction (kiddie railroad). I also think it's weird that there is no dedicated restroom in PS. Cause you got the one on the other side of Monster or Red Baron. While there is a family restroom in the family care center area, I think that area could use a restroom. -

Another bit of information I've recently picked up: Mangler Asylum will be outdoors this year for haunt. That tidbit has caused me to speculate further that the bumper cars building will become our dark ride. While it would be sad for it to go, it makes sense. -People hate working and cleaning it at night. -It's a good location in the park. -That whole midway from Planet Snoopy to Fryer Tuck's needs to be repaved and this would be a good excuse to do so. -Mr. Ouimet's comments about empty boxes perfect for such rides. -

Couple bits of information for you: -I've heard from a few that this is Looping Starship's last year (at least in current location) to be replaced by Soak City expansion -There's some dirt-moving going on behind Chickie's and Pete's. Make of that what you will. -The Northwest part of the parking lot has been (partially and crappily) repaved with markings for more later on. -I found the below markings just outside the Wild Thing photo booth.

I never really got around to posting my pictures from last season on here for whatever reason, and with today's passholder preview day, it feels like a good time to do so in anticipation of the new season and my second working Power Tower. Corkscrew's Corkscrew Looping around Power Tower Loop-de-loop! My computer's background Whosoever pulls the sword from the stone, if he be worthy, shall not get a headache on the ride. Extreme Swing blotting out the sun She'll be commin' o'er the hill when she comes! Heading into the final stretch For those that like this sort of shot...you know who you are. Sun shining over Renegade That dog should be on a leash Ferris Wheel Fountain Fountain doggy-style Vroom, vroom POWER TOWER GERONIMO! Hold the wife and hide the yunguns, the Renegade's a-runnin'! Snake comin' at ya! Slithering closer Rearing up to strike! And here's why every guy who rides sings soprano after getting off. Ska-ploosh! Looks like Wild Thing has a bit of an X Factor Rising into the sunset First we're gonna lift you up! Then we're gonna let you fall! Then you're gonna run around to the next ride! That's all for now! See you out there! -

I'm starting to think that that initial boat went on a three hour tour (a three hour tour)
