Aww, I love Busch parks! This one is extremely colorful with a ton of plants. Some of the play areas look really dense with slides and things. Nice TR!

I tried the Q-Bot system at Six Flags Great America last year during Fright Fest, and I was extremely pleased with it! I have to say that it surpasses Disney's fast pass system, mainly because you can reserve your spot from anywhere in the park (instead of having to go to the machine near the ride and figuring out what to do for the next hour [note: I was there MANY years ago, and I don't know if/how the system has changed]). The only improvement on the Q-Bot that could be made would be the ability to reserve two rides at a time instead of one (for the rides with longer waits). Also, SFGAm had a great capacity - instead of the 250-per-day paper flash passes, MANY MANY more Q-bots are availible. I don't think I'll ever spend another busy day there without a Q-bot.

If the park is going to honor Rugrats at all, at least they should get a gold-plated statue for the show. What was it - one of the most successful cartoons ever? -
Yeah, but isn't retracking moreso to keep the ride safe and structurally sound rather than to make it more smooth? Smoothness can be a side-effect of retracking, but that's not the main purpose. (I'm just guessing)

Dang! The park is really crowded tonight... -
American Eagle at SFGAm is getting retracked in some places. Because it has a 99% chance of not making the ride any better, I say let me do the retracking - all I need is a box of matches!

They're definitely using a more coral reef-type color scheme with Spongebob - it should look nice when it's done. -

I like how all of this is developing. As we all can see, the park won't be left bare! -

The swing ride looks much better with the graphics painted onto it. Don't get me wrong - I TOTALLY prefer the old kites and things, but at least Nick made it look pretty good. -

I don't know what model it is, but it has been around for a LONG time - before Nick Universe, it was called the "Screaming Yellow Eagle". The park repainted and rethemed it for Nick Universe. -
It's 2008! Where are you headed this year?
Golfie replied to OldJJman's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I will definitely be heading to SFGAm a few times this summer (as always) and I will probably be going to MOA's Nickelodeon Universe within the first month it's open! -

I really like how all the theming is going. Plus, I'm totally in love with the Blue's Clues ride - I grew up with that show! The construction crew is in full gear right now for everything to be in ship shape for March 15! -

^meh... I don't really mind - I could've cared less if Ghost Blasters was torn down along with Mystery Mine. -

^As with any construction process, they'll probably replace the foliage after everything is finished. -

^ I agree - it's pretty tough to see any of it from the webcam, so this will be a cool surprise as soon as someone heads to the mall! -
