Even Danny Rogers believes that this project is a bad idea now. http://unofficialjazzlandinfo.yuku.com/topic/2220/Industrial-Development-Board-launches-selection-process-dev#.UuwQFHn5Eas

^At this point if a band signs up, they know well what they're getting themselves into. And while I'm not a particular fan of either new act, it appears that these are both bigger, more current acts to bring in than any of the ones that dropped. All I can say is that SeaWorld has done a great job with the signing of these two acts, putting out a very strong statement that despite all that has happened with this event, they can still deliver quality entertainment for their guests and move forward. I'll definitely be going out of my way within the next few weeks to check out Bands, Brew & BBQ regardless of what other bands join the lineup. The event features incredible food, and that alone is reason for me to return!

How'd that work out?

This ride is simply huge! I'm sure it will prove to be another amazing addition for this already stellar park. Really need to get out there sometime soon to experience it all for myself!

If it does end up being a GCI creation, I'd love for it to be as good in its entirety as the little portion of track is that they worked on when modifying Boulder Dash... Or they could just build their own Boulder Dash.

^While it has been rumored that the attraction can in theory run without physically moving, thus allowing the ride to operate even with one park closed, the experience's capacity would then be cut by half as one train would be forced to remain inactive on the other side of the Wizarding World. If there's one thing I don't expect Universal to do with this, it would be to cut the hourly throughput of an attraction that is expecting to receive lines that rival, if not surpass Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. When you realize just how much queue is being prepared for each of the two stations for the Hogwarts Express, you realize just how badly they need both trains in operation. And soft opening or not, when guests are allowed onto this attraction, Universal will want it operating at full capacity. It should also be noted that history shows that Universal put great care into their soft openings of the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Dragon Challenge soft opened back and forth between operating as Dueling Dragons and as Dragon Challenge, but aside from that, the land soft opened in full, at full capacity. With the world watching this original land with all kinds of microscope, they wanted the debut (even the soft one) to be a successful, smooth one. I'd like to believe that Universal will only continue to build off of that strategy and perfect it in time for the launch of these new attractions, especially knowing how many more technological breakthroughs are employed in this realm that have the chance to break down and mess with the operation. It could also be an indicator that despite this past weekend's hoopla, we still don't have a public official opening date.

Either of which would be especially successful if delivered by Intamin. I could totally settle for an Intamin woodie a la El Toro in Florida if we weren't fortunate enough to go the route of building something with Rocky Mountain Construction.

And once again, Polin ends up being the major supplier of another new water park. This company has come a long way in a very short span of time!

Based on my experience with the Air Race they had set up at IAAPA, I'll contend that an Air Race is a great addition for ANY park, so I'm certainly happy to see one being added to Drayton Manor.

It is nice to see this park continuing to invest in its older areas, even if they are pretty well themed already!

This water park continues to look more and more incredible with each update. It still amazes me just how quickly Polin has become a major player in the water park industry!

Don't you put that on us! Don't you put that evil on us!

Thanks everyone for the great response! This was definitely an experience I'd recommend to any park fan, let alone any Disney Parks fan! You just have to go into it knowing well that the crowd levels will be significantly higher than normal!
